• JL Audio Car Speakers or Subwoofers 13W3v3-4

Features

• Clearly the best sounding W3's yet, these subwoofers feature DMA-optimized,
• long linear excursion capability to minimize distortion and increase output.
• W3v3's are available in single 2 ohm, 4 ohm and 8 ohm versions and are superb
• performers at medium power levels in compact sealed or ported enclosures. Multiple
• patented technologies enhance performance and reliability. As with JL Audio?s
• flagship drivers, development was guided by JL Audio?s proprietary DMA (Dynamic
• Motor Analysis) modeling system to deliver outstanding dynamic stability and
• low-distortion operation within their intended power envelope. A mineral-filled
• polypropylene upper cone body with a metallic JL Audio logo medallion provides
• a classy new look, while a removable (and customizable) mounting flange trim
• ring receives grille-mesh inserts directly, without the need for additional
• grille hardware. (Grille mesh inserts are sold separately.)
• DMA Optimized Motor System
• DMA-optimized motor systems deliver highly consistent motor force over a long
• range of stroke and input power levels. This results in reduced distortion,
• enhanced detail resolution and superior dynamic balance, or more simply put,
• incredible bass!Elevated Frame-Cooling (U.S. Patent #6,219,431)
• The elevated frame design of the W3v3 delivers cool air through slots directly
• above the top-plate to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances
• power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts
• and power compressionVented Reinforcement Collar (U.S. Patent #5,734,734)
• JL Audio?s patented Vented Reinforcement Collar (VRC?) improves the rigidity
• and stability of the cone/spider/voice coil junction and directs airflow over
• the voice coil windings for improved thermal performanceFloating Cone Attach Method (FCAM?) (U.S. Patent #6,501,844)
• JL Audio?s patented Floating Cone Attach Method (FCAM?) allows the cone and
• surround to be aligned independently of the spider/coil assembly, improving
• pistonic motionInsert Molded Suspension / Coil / Terminal Sub-Assembly (Patent Pending)
• Nickel-plated brass push terminals combine with strain relief features to
• ensure solid contact and lead-wire reliability. All new, hybrid-weave, progressive-roll
• flat spiders are preassembled, using a patent-pending process, onto a composite
• carrier to ensure optimum alignment of the suspensionSurround Stress-Relief (Patent Pending)
• One-piece nitrile-butylene rubber (NBR) surround and gasket design works in
• conjunction with a stress-relief feature molded onto the lower cone edge to
• improve reliability. Injection-molded, mica-filled polypropylene lower cone
• bodies with integral bracing features permit shallow cone profiles without
• compromising rigidityCustomizable Trim Ring (U.S. Patent #D480,709)
• This removable ring can be painted to match the installation theme and is
• also designed as a receptacle for grille mesh inserts (sold separately)
