Features

Woofer: The JL Audio W1v3-2 subwoofer features an injection-molded, mica-filled polypropylene cone with an embossed metallic JL Audio logo and a rubber surround for added durability, woofer excursion and bass response.

Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method of improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, the W1v3-2 motor remains linear over a long excursion range, and also maintains a stable, fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. The result is 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: The Vented Reinforcement Collar (VRC) is a composite structure that addresses two issues related to reliability:

  • Stress Relief: By reinforcing the critical junction between the cone, voice coil and spider, the VRC reduces failures due to glue breakdown or material weakness. It does this by increasing adhesive contact area and providing stress relief to the spider material at excursion extremes.
  • Air Flow: The VRC also features slots that facilitate air flow directly onto the voice coil windings, thus reducing thermal compression effects and enhancing reliability.

Insert Molded Suspension/Coil/Terminal Sub-Assembly: The W1v3-2 features a unique spider, coil and terminal subassembly, assembled prior to installation in the speaker frame for optimum alignment and glue-joint integrity. This type of assembly ensures precise lead wire length, lead wire entry and exit angles, and coil/spider alignment.

Elevated Frame Cooling System: The elevated frame design of the W1v3-2 delivers cool air through slots directly above the top-plate to the voice coil. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression.

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 an optional grille mesh insert specifically designed to fit into the inner diameter of the trim ring (item number 136SGR1031, sold separately).

Enclosure Compatibility

Sealed Enclosure: JL Audio recommends an optimum sealed enclosure volume for the 10W1v3-2 of 0.587 ft³ (0.55 ft³ net, plus the sub's 0.037 ft³ displacement), resulting in a -3dB point of 42.3 Hz.

Ported Enclosure: JL Audio recommends an optimum ported enclosure volume for the 10W1v3-2 of 0.937 ft³ (0.9 ft³ net, plus the sub's 0.037 ft³ displacement). The recommended slot port is 1-1/8" (wide) x 10" (tall) x 29-3/4" (long), resulting in a tuning frequency of 32.17 Hz and a -3dB point of 31.65 Hz.

Q
I have a Dodge Durango and put n the JL 10w1v3-2, a .55 sealed box with an Audio Control Epic1000 mono Amp. Im not finding the bass as good across all genres of music that even the factory 8 inch Alpine was delivering. Would a .69 or .80 sealed box be better with that sub, or would there be a better, non shallow mount sub/box combo that would be better for the size of my vehicle? Thanks
eric  Jun 01, 2025

A
There are different ways to change the bass sound you are getting now and the best option will vary depending on the aspect of the bass that is lacking in those genres. I recommend contacting a product advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to discuss what you are experiencing and get a personal recommendation on a solution that should correct it.

Will this fit in my rear center deck of my 2021 Lexus es 350? Just want to swap out the rear deck speakers

A
The JL Audio 10W1v3-2 is a fit in the rear deck subwoofer location in 2021 Lexus ES-350's, Lebin. You'll need to re-drill the mounting screw holes, and there is no wiring harness available. You'll have to splice or tap the vehicle's speaker wires to your new speaker wires.

Q
I would like to replace my Alpine 10" SWT-10S2 with either the JL Audio 10W1v3-2 or JL Audio 10W1v3-4. Which would be better the Kicker CXA300.1. Also, would either one of those fit in the SBT-S10V box?
brett  Jun 28, 2024
1 answer
A
For the most bass output from your combination Brett, using the JL Audio 10W1v3-2 2-ohm subwoofer would output the full 300-watts RMS from your Kicker CXA300.1 amplifier. The JL Audio subwoofer is rated for 300-watts RMS maximum, so it is a perfect match. Fitment is not a guarantee, I would advise measuring the available depth inside the box to confirm. The SWT-10S2 subwoofer requires 4 3/16" of top mount depth while the JL Audio is just slightly deeper at 4 5/8" in depth.

Q
will the JL Audio 10W1v3-2 works well with JL Audio VX600/1i this is to install into jeep JL?
albert  Jun 08, 2024

A
Greetings Albert. Thank you for your question. The W1 is rated for 300 watts RMS, and you don't want to put more than that on this subwoofer. The VX 600/1 would run 600 watts to this W1. Thats two times what the subwoofer is rated for.

What box and dimensions work best for my 2009 Ford fusion SE?

Greetings Scott. Thank you for your question. If your thinking a prefab box. Both sealed and ported are below. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_777BB1064S/Sound-Ordnance-Bass-Bunker.html https://www.crutchfield.com/p_777BB1075V/Sound-Ordnance-Bass-Bunker.html If you plan to build a box, this sub works best in a .55 cubic foot sealed box, or a .94 cubic foot ported box.

scott u  Apr 15, 2024

That is a great question, Scott. We advise measuring your desired subwoofer location carefully to confirm fitment of any subwoofers. According to our Vehicle Research team the space available in your 2009 Ford Fusion's trunk is roughly 43" wide, 15" high, with 38" of depth at bottom and 28" of depth at the top. If you are installing a single JL Audio 10W1v3-2 subwoofer the SPL Boxes SB110V in the link below has plenty of space to fit! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_419SB110V/SPL-Boxes-SB110V.html

Q
Could this be used to replace 2 ohm speaker in a powered home audio subwoofer?
chris  Feb 13, 2020
2 answers
A
this is a car sub, and most likely would not work, nor be a good power match for a home enclosure of home amplifier.
thomas  Feb 27, 2020 (Staff)
A
Hi Chris, thank you for your question. We would not recommend using this or other subwoofers to replace the woofer in your home audio powered sub enclosure. Since we do not know the impedance the amp in the powered sub is looking for, or how it is internally wired, or the crossover settings, this would not be an application we would be able to recommend nor offer support for. If you need to repair a blown woofer, I would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer to check on replacements. If you are looking for an option that would maybe be a better performer in your home audio system, please chat with an Advisor online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695. We will be happy to help you out.
jessica  Feb 27, 2020 (Staff)
Q
would you recommend running and 300/1 or a 500/1 amp? I know you never want to under power a speaker but would 500 RMS be too much to handle?

A
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
What is the height of the speaker, including excursion, above the mounting plane? Thanks!
robert m  Apr 23, 2016
1 answer
A
The woofer has a mounting height of 0.7" and an Xmax (maximum cone excursion) of 11.4 millimeters. I hope that helps! My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=5
