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.

10" Subwoofer: The subwoofer cone is made of injection-molded, mica-filled polypropylene with UV inhibitors and a synthetic rubber surround. The precisely engineered dust cap profile helps smooth the upper-end response. The subwoofer uses a marine-grade synthetic fiber spider with a progressive roll design and a vented motor structure with a marine grade stainless steel rear diffuser plate.

Power Handling: The 4-ohm JL Audio subwoofer can handle between 75 and 250 watts RMS.

DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method of improving dynamic motor behavior. The DMA-optimized long-excursion design enhances output, bass extension and power handling of the speaker.

Basket & Grille: The speaker basket is UV-resistant polymer that encapsulate the woofers' motor systems to prevent corrosion. A metal mesh Luxe-style grille is included that magnetically mounts to the front of the speaker.

Infinite-Baffle Operation: The subwoofer is optimized for infinite-baffle operation so it can be installed in a variety of locations, without the need for a dedicated enclosure.

Enclosure: If mounting in an enclosure, JL Audio recommends a 2 ft³ sealed or 2.5 ft³ ported enclosure. The ported enclosure requires a port tube 4.0" in diameter and 13.50" long.

Q
What amp if you plan on running (2) two of these subs?
raymond  Mar 28, 2024

A
The JL Audio M6 Series 10" marine subwoofer can handle a maximum of 250-watts RMS, Raymond. This subwoofer is approved for a free-air install application, and if installed in a free-air (or infinite baffle) location with no box or enclosure it can handle around 125-watts RMS. The JL Audio XDM300/1 in the link below provides great power for both scenarios and has a fantastic sound quality to match the M6 subwoofers. you'll need a marine rated power and ground wiring kit for install of the JL Audio amp. The Kicker 47KMPK4 4-gauge amp kit in the second link below is a perfect match. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_13698680/JL-Audio-XDM300-1.html https://www.crutchfield.com/p_20647KMPK4/Kicker-47KMPK4-4-gauge.html

Depending if your running a single amp for the sub or multi-channel. Im running the 6 channel Fusion SG-DA61500 280W peak power bridged at 4 ohms....sub handles the power efficiently when the gains are set correctly

I have rockford fostage p6200
florentin  Jul 23, 2020
Q
So I see it is 250W rms. @ 4 ohm. What is max or peak wattage at 4 ohm for this amp. Thanks????
mark  Mar 01, 2020
1 answer
A
JL does not list the peak power handling and we have not tested it to that breaking point. It is a well-built speaker but you should probably not exceed the recommended RMS power-handling by too much.

Q
I got a jl audio M600/1 channel amp do two M6 10" works with it?
rafael  May 20, 2024

Greetings Rafael. Thank you for your question. The M6 subs are rated for 250 watts, and the M600/1 will put 300 watts on each. Technically the M600/1 has too much power for JL M6s.

Q
I plan on installing this on a pontoon boat, specifically somewhere around the base of the seats. The description says that it is "optimized for free air use" but the manual seems to say there's an enclosure required. Do I need an enclosure or can I screw them into my plastic seats?

I use mine in free air and love them.
george douglas  Jun 13, 2021

I installed it directly into the side of a Grady White boat without the need of an enclosure. All the other JL speakers I have done the same way.
