It features shallow mounting depth (3.86 in. \/ 98 mm) and a compact motor structure, allowing it to comfortably fit in a lot of spaces where a typical 8-inch driver will not. Lacking a pole vent, the rear of the motor structure can be placed directly against an enclosure boundary. Excellent excursion capability and linearity allow it to reproduce sub-bass with shocking extension and quality.

This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailed Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1997, JL Audio has been at the forefront of Finite Element Analysis-based modeling of loudspeaker motors and suspensions. This research is aimed at decoding what we refer to as the \"Loudspeaker Genome\"... a project aimed at understanding the true behavior of loudspeakers under power and in motion. A major component of this integrated system is DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis). Starting with the 15W3 and the W7 Subwoofers in the late 1990's and early 2000's, DMA has played an important role in the design of all JL Audio woofers sold today, including our component woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDMA is a Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-based system, meaning that it takes a large, complex problem, breaks it down into small solution elements for analysis and then assembles the data to form an accurate, \"big-picture\" solution. DMA's breakthrough is that it actually considers the effects of power through the coil as well as coil\/cone position within the framework of a time-domain analysis. This gives us a highly accurate model of a speaker's actual behavior under real power, something that the traditional Thiele-Small models or other low power measurements cannot do. Because DMA does not rely on a steady-state model, it is able to consider shifts in the circuit elements being analyzed. These modeling routines are intense, requiring hours to run for a whole speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDMA is able to analyze the real effects of fluctuating power and excursion upon the magnetic circuit of the motor, specifically the dynamic variations of the \"fixed\" magnetic field. This delivers intensely valuable information compared to traditional modeling, which assumes that the \"fixed\" field produced in the air gap by the magnet and the motor plates is unchanging. DMA not only shows that this \"fixed\" field changes in reaction to the magnetic field created by current flowing through the voice coil, but it helps our engineers arrive at motor solutions that minimize this instability. Analyzing this behavior is critical to understanding the distortion mechanisms of a speaker motor and sheds light on the aspects of motor design that determine truly linear behavior:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinear motor force over the speaker's operational excursion range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent motor force with both positive and negative current through the coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent motor force at varying applied power levels\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur ability to fully analyze these aspects of motor behavior allows our transducer engineers to make critical adjustments to motor designs that result in extremely linear, highly stable dynamic loudspeaker motor systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe payoff is reduced distortion, improved transient performance and stellar sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.widencdn.net\/svg\/jlaudio\/knnglas3xo\/JLA-ElevatedFrame-logo.svg?u=fhkrg%20alt=\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElevated Frame Cooling (U.S. Patent #6,219,431 \u0026amp; #6,229,902)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJL Audio's patented Elevated Frame Cooling design delivers cool air through slots directly above the top-plate to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailed Information:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eMany speakers employ venting techniques to enhance voice coil cooling. This is typically accomplished by having big holes in the sides of the frame just below the spider attachment shelf. While it provides a modest cooling benefit, this low-velocity air-flow does not blow directly or strongly on the voice coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur patented design improves upon this cooling technique in a number of ways. By elevating the frame above the top-plate of the motor (via stand-offs integrated into the bottom of the frame) a narrow, high-velocity air-path is created between the bottom surface of the frame and the top surface of the top-plate. This air path leads directly to the voice coil and then turns upward into the spider air cavity. By utilizing the pumping action of the spider through this focused air path, a large volume of cool air hits the coil windings directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother important benefit is that the upper surface of the top-plate (one of the speaker's hottest parts) is directly exposed to cooling air flow, whereas on a conventional design it is isolated from the air flow by the lower flange of the frame. The elevated frame technology greatly increases thermal power handling, reduces compression effects and does so without any additional parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.widencdn.net\/svg\/jlaudio\/4ytvbjbzta\/JLA-FCAM-logo.svg?u=fhkrg%20alt=\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFloating Cone Attach Method - FCAM™ (U.S. Patent #6,501,844)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis assembly technique, conceived by JL Audio, ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailed Information:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eJL Audio's patented FCAM™ technology is an innovative method of bonding the surround\/cone assembly to the voice coil former\/spider assembly.

To address this, many long-excursion woofers today rely on a simple solution that weaves the lead-wires into the spider (rear suspension) of the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe biggest problem with this approach is that spider limiting behavior plays a hugely important role a woofer's performance. Lead-wires that are attached or woven into the spider material can alter the spider's \"stretching\" behavior. The tinsel wire naturally has less 'give' than the fabric material of the spider leading to asymmetrical spider behavior and non-uniform stress distribution around the spider circumference. The wire attachment points can also cause localized pulling and tearing forces at the spider's excursion limits. As such, longevity becomes a major concern and makes the woven-in design less than ideal for very long-excursion designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile a traditional 'flying lead' design does not compromise spider linearity or radial stability, it creates its own challenges on a long-excursion woofer. Managing the 'whipping' behavior of the wire and making sure it does not contact the cone or spider is one challenge. Another is ensuring that the leads do not short one another or the frame of the woofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo overcome these issues, JL Audio's engineered flying lead-wires work in conjunction with carefully engineered entry and exit support structures molded into the terminals and the voice coil collar. Some models also feature jacketed lead-wires to further reduce the likelihood of shorting and fatigue. The result is flawless high-excursion lead-wire behavior, with outstanding reliability and none of the compromises inherent to a woven-in lead wire system. Building woofers this way requires much more labor and parts complexity than the simpler woven-in approach, but the payoff is in reduced distortion, reduced mechanical noise and improved reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Power Handling (RMS)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 150 W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power (RMS)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 50 - 150 W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Impedance (Znom)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 4 Ω\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e - 8.0 in \/ 200 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Diameter (A)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 8.5 in \/ 216 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Diameter (B)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 7.09 in \/ 180 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Hole Circle Diameter (C)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 7.85 in \/ 199 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Outer Diameter (D)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 4.72 in \/ 120 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Depth (E)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 3.86 in \/ 98 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDriver Displacement\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.018 cu ft \/ 0.51 L\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e - 7.4 lb \/ 3.4 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree Air Resonance (Fs)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 35.40 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical “Q” (Qes)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical “Q” (Qms)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 5.791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Speaker “Q” (Qts)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Compliance (Vas)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.68 cu ft \/ 19.26 L\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Way Linear Excursion (Xmax)*\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.3 in \/ 8 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference Efficiency (no)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.18%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEfficiency (1 W \/ 1 m)**\u003c\/strong\u003e - 84.8 dB SPL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEffective Piston Area (Sd)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 32.67 sq in \/ 0.0211 sq m\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDC Resistance (Re)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 4.06 Ω\u003cbr\u003e* Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.\u003cbr\u003e** Efficiency (1 W \/ 1 m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer’s output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other subwoofers to determine which one is “louder”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSealed Enclosure Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWall Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.75 in \/ 19 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Baffle Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.75 in \/ 19 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume (net int.)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.350 cu ft \/ 9.90 L\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Width (W)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 12 in \/ 305 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Height (H)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 10 in \/ 254 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Depth (D)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 8.625 in \/ 219 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eF3\u003c\/strong\u003e - 59.9 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFc\u003c\/strong\u003e - 60.7 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQtc\u003c\/strong\u003e - 0.717\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* The enclosure recommendations listed above are external dimensions which assume the use of 0.75 in (19 mm) thick material.
