JL Audio 10″ W6v3 Series Car Subwoofer

JL Audio 92140 10″ W6v3 Series Car Subwoofer

If you are seeking to reproduce the highest quality sub-bass in a very compact enclosure application, the 10W6v3 is the ultimate choice. This advanced Subwoofer offers several technologies shared with the flagship W7AE subwoofers to provide powerful advantages in motor linearity and suspension behavior. These combine with a very efficient cooling circuit to deliver reduced distortion and outstanding dynamic balance.

The 10W6v3 is best used with amplifier power in the 200W – 600W range and is optimized to operate in a sealed enclosure with only 0.55 cu. ft. (15.6 l) of air space, or a 0.75 cu. ft. (21.2 l) ported enclosure.

Greater excursion capability and higher power handling distinguish it from our 10W3v3 10-inch Subwoofer, allowing for higher output. Dual 4 Ω voice coils permit deploying the W6v3 as a 2 Ω or 8 Ω driver.

Key Features:

• Small sealed enclosure volume requirements
• Very long linear excursion capability: 0.74 in / 18.8 mm, one-way
• High power handling
• DMA-optimized motor designs
• New, patent-pending pole cooling system and patented elevated frame cooling
• Patented “floating cone attach method” technology
• Plateau reinforced spider attach (RC)
• Cast alloy frame
• Jacketed lead-wire system
• Injection molded, mineral-filled polypropylene cone
• Rubber surround
• Precision-built in USA at JL Audio’s Miramar, Florida factory

Features:

• Dynamic Motor Analysis – DMA Optimized Motor
  JL Audio’s proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system is a powerful suite of FEA-based modeling systems, first developed by JL Audio in 1997 and refined over the years to scientifically address the issue of speaker motor linearity. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients… or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass.
• Elevated Frame Cooling
  JL 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.
• Floating Cone Attach Method – FCAM™
  This assembly technique, conceived by JL Audio, ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment.
• Pole-Vent Airflow Control – PVAC (U.S. Patent #6,535,613)
  In high-powered Subwoofers, thermal management is essential.
• W6v2/W6v3 Terminal Jumper System
  Information on connecting the dual voice coils using the Terminal Jumper System
• Engineered Lead-Wire System (U.S. Patent #7,356,157)
  Carefully engineered lead-wire design and attachments ensure controlled, quiet lead-wire behavior under the most extreme excursion demands.
• Customizable Trim Ring
  This removable ring can be painted to match the installation theme and directly receives JL Audio grille mesh inserts (sold separately).
• Built in U.S.A. with Global Components
  JL Audio’s Miramar, Florida loudspeaker production facility is one of the most advanced in the world.

Footnotes:

• * Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.
• ** 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”.
