JL Audio Pro Wedge Subwoofer Systems

JL Audio has introduced four new ProWedge enclosed subwoofer systems that are compact in size and designed to deliver stunning output and stellar sonics in a variety of vehicles and applications. Two models feature the popular W6v3 subwoofer drivers, the third generation of the W6 pedigree that represents a giant leap forward in the quest for small box bass perfection. The 10-inch 10W6v3 is featured in either a single or dual configuration. The CNC-cut high-grade MDF-sealed enclosures are covered in quality black automotive carpet and are designed to deliver smooth, powerful and articulate bass.

The other models have JL Audio’s ultra-thin TW3 subwoofers that offer very shallow mounting depth, making them ideal for challenging installations that demand excellent output and fidelity. The 10-inch TW3 is featured in either a single- or dual-opposed configuration. The ultra-compact design allows for unobtrusive placement in a wide range of vehicles.

A super-tough polymer grille is included to protect each subwoofer driver. Built in JL Audio’s factory in Miramar, Florida, each enclosure proudly states, “Built in the USA” with the JL Audio logo embroidered into the side.

Pioneer TS-W3003D4 Subwoofer

The TS-W3003D4 has an exceptionally strong cone that can produce massive air movements without flexing or buckling.

For further reliability and great sound quality, the subwoofer uses a four-layer copper voice coil with an aluminum former that improves heat dissipation for higher input power handling and air vents in the metal basket construction below the spider to alleviate pressure buildup in the chamber and cool the voice coil. The subwoofer is made to produce powerful bass output using both customized and prefabricated enclosures.
