About JL Audio

JL Audio, founded in Florida in 1975, is the name most enthusiasts reach for first when the subject is subwoofers — its W-series woofers, crowned by the legendary W7, are built in the company's own Miramar, Florida factory and have defined high-performance car bass for decades. Around the subwoofers sits an equally serious ecosystem: amplifiers, DSPs, speakers and the Stealthbox line of vehicle-specific enclosures. JL Audio's patented driver technologies are the reason its subs remain a benchmark.

How to choose JL Audio products

For bass with minimal effort, a loaded enclosure or an active MicroSub+ or PowerWedge+ is the simplest route. If you have a custom box or want a specific sound, choose a driver: W0 and W1 for value, W3 and W6 for more output, W7AE at the top. TW shallow mount models suit tight spaces. Pair subwoofers with a JD or RD monoblock, and add C1 or C2 speakers driven by a multi-channel amp for a balanced system.
