ABSOLUTE BEASTS

The term “overbuilt” gets thrown around a lot in the automotive speaker world, but with the WOv3, the description really does apply. These quality-crafted 10- and 12-inch subwoofers combine power efficiency, audio fidelity and extra-long excursion capability to provide an exceptional car audio listening experience. You simply won’t find a better-performing woofer in this price class.

ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE

Featuring beefy 2-inch or 2.5-inch voice coils and exceptional excursion capability, the WOv3 subwoofers deliver deep, powerful and articulate bass — making them the “go-to” choice for those seeking high performance and durability at an affordable price.

DYNAMIC MOTOR ANALYSIS (DMA) OPTIMIZED SPEAKERS

DMA delivers linear motor force over a wide range of speaker excursion and power levels. The result is tight, clean and articulate bass performance with ultralow distortion and stellar sound quality.

POLYPROPYLENE CONE TECHNOLOGY

Known for their durability, the WOv3 series’ injection-molded, mineral-filled polypropylene cone structure with foam surround offers wide frequency response and deep, crisp bass reproduction.

ELEVATED FRAME COOLING

The patented JL Audio elevated frame cooling design creates a pathway for high-velocity air to flow directly across the top plate of the speaker voice coil — cooling it for better power handling and improved reliability.

SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION

The WOv3 series of subwoofers incorporates an easy-to-access push terminal design and lead-wire system woven into the spider — along with a metallic silver-finished frame that looks great in any installation. Optional steel-mesh grille inserts (sold separately) add style and protection for your subwoofer.

POWERFULLY ADAPTABLE

On a wide range of vehicle applications, with sealed or ported enclosures, the WOv3 subwoofers deliver superb sound quality and power handling. Both the 10- and 12-inch versions support pairing with amplifiers in the 75- to 300-watt range.

Additional
Additional	The enclosure recommendations listed above are external dimensions which assume the use of 0.75 in (19 mm) thick material. If you are using 0.625 in (16 mm) thick material, subtract 0.25 in (6.5 mm) from each dimension. Do not use any material with a thickness of less than 0.625 in (16 mm) as this may compromise the rigidity of the enclosure. All enclosure volumes listed above are net internal volumes! Driver displacement, port displacement and brace displacement must be added to obtain the final gross internal volume. All enclosure dimensions above have already taken this into account. When using multiples in a common enclosure you will need to recalculate the enclosure and port dimensions. For assistance please contact your authorized JL Audio dealer or JL Audio Technical Support. We recommend the use of this in a bi-amplified system using high-quality satellites and a high-quality amplifier. We do not recommend the use of this with a passive crossover (coil), as this type of device will adversely affect performance. All specifications are subject to change without notice.
