•Enclosure dimensions listed are external dimensions which assume the use of 0.75 inch (19mm) thick material. If you are using

0.625 inch (16mm) thick material, subtract 0.25 inches (6.5mm) from each dimension. Do not use material with a thickness of

less than 0.625 inches (16mm).

•Enclosure volumes listed are NET internal volumes. Driver displacement, port displacement and brace displacement must be

added to obtain the ﬁnal gross volume. The dimensions listed have already taken this into account.

•When using two subwoofers in a common enclosure simply double the required volumes and use two of the recommended ports

(when needed). Likewise, when using three subwoofers in a common enclosure simply triple the required volume and number

of ports (when needed).

*Efﬁciency (1W/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer’s output capability and should not be used as a

comparison to other subwoofers to determine which one is “louder”!

•Do NOT use different impedance speakers when using multiple subwoofers!

•JL Audio recommends using subwoofers as part of a bi-ampliﬁed system using high quality satellite speakers like our Evolution line

of coaxial and component speakers. We do not recommend the use of passive crossover components (coils) on subwoofers. These

components may adversely affect the performance of a subwoofer.

•When dealing with exceedingly long port lengths, we recommend the use of JL Audio’s Flex-Port System. The Flex-Port tubing is

ﬂexible, allowing it to ﬁt in otherwise tight locations. The Port mouths provide not only a convenient method of securing the port,

but a smooth, rounded edge for the port termination as well.

Wired directly to the ampliﬁer:

A single 4Ωspeaker will present a 4Ωload.

With speakers wired in parallel:

Two 4Ωspeakers will present a 2Ωload.

With speakers wired in parallel:

Three 4Ωspeakers will present a 1.3Ωload.
