Subwoofers  
o w n e r ’ s m a n u a l  
Congratulations on your purchase of a JL Audio subwoofer component. Your JL Audio subwoofer is a  
precision loudspeaker which has been engineered to produce the highest quality sub-bass performance in  
your vehicle. Authorized JL Audio dealers have extensive technical information for many different  
applications of your new speaker. They also have the knowledge, skills and tools to build a high-quality  
enclosure that will maximize the performance of your speaker. We highly recommend that you have  
your enclosure built by an authorized JL Audio dealer.  
Inside you will find specifications and two recommended enclosures for your speaker; one is a sealed  
enclosure, the other is a ported design. Both types of enclosures will give you excellent sound quality and  
low-frequency extension. The sealed enclosure is a better choice if space is extremely tight, but the ported  
enclosure will produce 3dB more output at the same power if you have the extra space to work with.  
If you decide to build one of these enclosures yourself, you must have the construction of the box  
inspected and approved by your authorized JL Audio dealer in order for the 1 year limited warranty to  
be valid. Please read the warranty information carefully.

The enclosure recommendations listed above are  
external dimensions which assume the use of 3/4"  
(19mm) thick material. If you are using 5/8"  
(16mm) thick material, subtract 1/4" (6.5mm) from  
each dimension. Do not use any material with a  
thickness of less than 5/8" (16mm) as this may  
compromise the rigidity of the enclosure.  
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 multiple subwoofers 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 AudioTechnical Support at 954-443-1100.  
• We recommend the use of this speaker in a  
bi-amplified system using high-quality satellite  
speakers and a high-quality amplifier. We do not  
recommend the use of this subwoofer with a  
passive crossover (coil), as this type of device will  
adversely affect performance.  
• All specifications are subject to change  
without notice.  
All enclosure volumes listed above are net  
internal volumes! Driver displacement, port  
GRILLE RECOMMENDATIONS  
If you would like to put protective grilles on your W3v2, please make sure they allow  
sufficient clearance for the suspension of the speaker to operate properly (many “universal”  
grilles do not).  
One way to be sure is to use the grille mesh inserts engineered by JL Audio for your  
woofer. These sturdy steel mesh inserts mount securely into the rubber gasket of theW3v2  
and offer ample clearance for the suspension. Ask your dealer for details and pricing.  
C A U T I O N  
Prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of 100dB can cause permanent hearing loss. This high-performance speaker  
can exceed this level. Please exercise restraint in its operation in order to preserve your ability to enjoy its fidelity.  
When installing a subwoofer in your vehicle, it is extremely important to secure the enclosure firmly.We recommend bolting the enclosure through the metal  
of the floorpan or the frame of the vehicle with large diameter washers for reinforcement. If an enclosure is not firmly attached, it can become a projectile in a  
collision.This is particularly important in a hatchback, station wagon, sports utility vehicle, or van.

MEDIUM GRAY (MINIMUM):  
LIGHT GRAY (OPTIMUM):  
DARK GRAY (MAXIMUM):  
BLACK (WARRANTY VOID):  
From a reliability standpoint,this zone represents  
a very comfortable operating power range for each  
driver. This level of power will not stress the  
woofer but will not extract all of its performance  
potential, either.  
Use of less than the minimum power level will  
not damage the woofer, but may result in  
unsatisfactory performance.  
This zone represents the best compromise  
between long-term reliability, high-output and low-  
distortion performance and is centered on each  
woofer's continuous power rating (as published in  
its specifications).In this zone,you will be taking full  
advantage of the woofer's optimum, low-distortion  
performance range without undue risk of failure.  
In this zone, low-distortion output and long-term  
reliability will be compromised (especially by an  
aggressive user). Slightly more SPL will be gained by  
pushing the power into this zone, but typically not  
more than 2dB, compared to the light gray zone.  
The closer you are to the black zone,the higher the  
likelihood of driver failure. Operate with caution.  
We do not recommend operating woofers at  
this level of power. In this zone, there is a very high  
probability that the driver will fail due to excessive  
heat and/or mechanical stress.  
Subwoofer drivers operated at these levels of  
power are NOT covered under warranty.  
JL Audio offers an extensive line of high-performance subwoofer drivers to fit a wide variety of enclosure and power applications.When designing systems with our drivers, it is very important  
to achieve a good power match between the subwoofer amplifier and the subwoofer driver's capabilities. The power levels listed in the above chart represent continuous (RMS) amplifier power  
per woofer and assume that the user will regularly make full use of that power without drastically overdriving the amplifier(s). Make sure you factor system impedance and the total  
number of subwoofers into your calculations.Adhering to these power recommendations will result in systems that are both reliable and enjoyable.
