Features

Overview: The CP106LG-W3v3 MicroSub is a compact bass solution for vehicles with limited space. This slot-ported enclosure is loaded with one 4-ohm 6W3v3-4 woofer.

Enclosure Design: The enclosure features top quality MDF (medium density fiberboard), cut using state-of-the-art CNC woodworking equipment, and covered with high grade automotive carpeting. Extensive interior bracing permits the use of thinner MDF that maximizes the enclosure's internal volume relative to its exterior volume. Each driver has its own airspace and is protected by a black steel-mesh grille.

Flared Port: The enclosure has a side firing slot port. The flared port opening minimizes turbulence and improves overall fidelity. The port is 1/2" high and 4-1/8" wide at the opening.

Enclosure Depth: The depth of the enclosure is 5-1/4 inches, but the woofer and grille protrude an additional 1-3/8 inch, making the total depth 6-5/8 inches.

Driver: The 6-1/2" W3v3 driver has the following features:

  • Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, W3v3 motors remain linear in motor force over a very long range of excursion, and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. The result is vastly reduced distortion, faithfully reproduced transients, and tight, clean, articulate bass.
  • Floating Cone Attachment Method (FCAM): JL Audio's patented FCAM technology is an innovative method of bonding the surround/cone assembly to the voice coil/spider assembly. This assembly technique ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment.
  • Vented Reinforcement Collar (VRC): The Vented Reinforcement Collar is a composite structure that addresses two issues related to reliability. By reinforcing the critical junction between the cone, voice coil and spider, the VRC greatly reduces failures due to glue breakdown or material weaknesses. It does this by greatly increasing adhesive contact area and providing stress relief to the spider material at excursion extremes. the VRC also feature slots that facilitate air flow directly onto the voice coil windings to reduce thermal compression effects and enhances reliability.
  • Spider/Lead Wire Assembly: The W3v3 features a unique spider, coil and terminal subassembly which is assembled prior to installation in the speaker frame for optimum alignment and glue-joint integrity. The spider is insert-molded into a composite carrier tray which also incorporates the terminal assembly and lead wire strain relief features for enhanced reliability and optimal alignment of parts. The flying lead wires are carefully controlled and strain-relieved without resorting to woven-in lead wires, which can degrade spider performance.
  • Elevated Frame Cooling: The elevated frame design of the W3v3 delivers high-velocity air flow 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.
  • Surround Stress Relief: By creating a radiused feature on the edge of the cone, stress is relieved from the surround material at maximum forward excursion, resulting in longer life and more consistent surround behavior.
  • Customizable Trim Ring: The woofer comes with a removable ring made of black ABS plastic which can be painted to match the installation theme and create a personalized look. You can purchase optional grille mesh inserts which are specifically designed to fit into the inner diameter of the trim ring.

Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your subs I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.

Q
Would this be a good sub to put in the trunk of my old 1991 Accord?

I have this behind the seat of my regular cab F150. I am very pleased with it but I use it for music, not thump. This is probably too small to be used in a trunk but you would have to try it for yourself.

THis is a small sub. It puts out a lot of base . I have mine in a Z3. Depends how much volume you like. Good Luck.
joseph e.  Sep 21, 2015

No, if you have the space use a JL Audio CP110-W0v3. It have much more output! And sound very good. Use at least a 400 watts amp. If you do not have the space use the same model but with a 8" that is more capable.
carlos  Sep 20, 2015

I put this behind the seat of my daughter's '93 GMC pickup, and the bass is really good even in the small space. I'd imagine in a vehicle with some trunk space it'd sound even better.
randall  Sep 20, 2015
Q
I will be installing JL Audio 6.5" 2 way coaxial speakers in my front doors and using my factory radio setup. Do you advise my installing this micro sub and a amp? If so what size amp would be just right?

would you need a sub woofer for this device?

This is a sub woofer, so I don't understand the question ; )
todd  Feb 24, 2014

This is a subwoofer. You don't necessarily need an amp, but it would help. There are two wire connections that you could splice into you car stereo directly.
john  Feb 24, 2014

This enclosure includes the subwoofer.
andrew  Feb 21, 2014

U mean an amplifier ? I don't understand ur question ? This is already a sub woofer..
juan  Feb 21, 2014
A
If you mean speaker...no...there is already a 6" subwoofer speaker in the box that has a passive radiator...which by the way sounds great. If you mean an amp...yes...you'll need an amp. Not sure you what vehicle you're putting it in but it definitely has some kick especially for a six inch...you'll be surprised. If you are able, point it in a direction to make the most waves (like a Tsunami). If not, you'll still get some good bass but better if you can get it to bounce. Hope that helps.

This is a subwoofer box with speaker all in one.
