OWNER'S

MANUAL

12TW1-4

Subwoofer

Driver

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

this may compromise the rigidity

Box

volume displacement, port displacement and

to

·When

using

two

subwoofers in a

enclosure simply

double

the required volume

and,

in

case

of

two

times the

drivers tO

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

amplifierfsl

.

Make

sure

you

factor

system

impedance

and

the

total

number

of

subwoofers

into

your

calculations.

Adhering

to

these

power

recommendations

will

result

in

that

are

both

and

enjoyable
