Great bass on your boat

JL Audio Built In USA

The M3 Series 10" marine subwoofer reflects JL Audio's commitment to top-quality engineering and sound quality. With marine-grade componentry, durable grilles, and outstanding performance, this sub will be a welcome addition to your boat's audio system.

Built for life on the water

Built from the ground up for the marine environment, the M3-10IB sports a corrosion-resistant Centrex® polymer basket that surrounds the sub's internal structure for extra protection. The marine-grade synthetic fiber spider, injection-molded polypropylene cone, and synthetic rubber surround provide top performance, while shrugging off the corrosive effects of sun, salt, and moisture. The UV-resistant polymer basket encases and protects the entire structure, plus UV protection ensures that the grilles will stand up to the sun, looking factory-fresh even after years of sun exposure.

Designed for a variety of enclosures

This subwoofer's motor structure allows extended cone movement, so you'll hear bass that's loud and low, yet precise and smooth. The versatile M3-10IB works in sealed enclosures, but it also works well in free-air applications, so you can mount it directly into a bulkhead if there's no space for a box.

Product Research

Features

Marine Tested: JL Audio's marine speakers are tested in ultraviolet chambers to simulate years of sun exposure, and salt fog chambers to simulate years of exposure to salt-water environments.

Materials: The woofer cone is mica-filled injection-molded polypropylene (IMPP) with UV inhibitors. The surrounds are synthetic rubber and the woofer uses a marine-grade synthetic fiber spider with a progressive roll design. The basket and grille are UV-resistant polymer; the basket encapsulates the woofer's motor system to prevent corrosion.

Infinite-Baffle Operation: The M3-10IB is optimized for infinite baffle operation so that it can be installed in a variety of locations, without the need for a dedicated enclosure. If a sealed enclosure is used, 2 ft³ is the minimum recommended volume.

Q
Can this be wired to a preout subwoofer jack on a denon AVR-S500BT?
michael  Aug 16, 2020

A
Hi Mike, thank you for your question. The Denon AVR-S500BT preamp output will not supply a subwoofer with power. You would need an amplifier that offered an LFE connection to the receiver, in order to utilize this subwoofer with a home theater receiver. We would recommend using a home theater, powered subwoofer with your Denon home theater receiver. Please chat with us online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, we will be happy to assist you with your setup.

Q
What amp should I pair this with?

I'm going to end up using Rockford Fosgate, probably the 4 channel , 100 per or the 75. Very clean sound from these amps. They are usually underrated on the output so you'll have plenty of power. If you like spending money you could always get a JL audio amp. My old system uses 2 clarion 50w per 4 channel amps and it worked fine. I also paired it with 5 pairs of the polk DB 652's (I paid $79 each, looks like they just upped the price on those to $109).

Hi Cory, if you'd like to stay JL audio is recommend a JL audio MX300/1. I would also recommend getting this same sub but in the M6 series (M6-10IB-C-GwGw-4) it has way better response and more power handing than M3.

You can install it in a sealed enclosure , but it's is meant to be installed in a free air application. If you are set on using an enclosure there is another part number but it will have a W instead of IB
