Couldn't Load Pickup availability
The JL Audio ACP110LG-TW1 is a complete amplified subwoofer system from the MicroSub+ range, combining a single 10" 10TW1-0.25 driver in a slot-ported, low-profile MDF enclosure with a built-in 400W DCD Class D amplifier at 0.25 ohm.
Other MicroSub+ sizes: ACP108LG-W3v3 and ACP112LG-TW1. The optional JL Audio RBC-1 remote bass level control lets you adjust subwoofer level from the driver's seat (sold separately).

DCD amplifier technology
The built-in DCD Class D amplifier uses direct power conversion and an ultra-high current output section in place of a conventional switching power supply. This allows it to drive the ultra low-impedance 10TW1-0.25 driver at 0.25 ohm with high efficiency and substantial output from a compact enclosure.
Enclosure design
The slot-ported enclosure is precisely tuned to the 10TW1 driver. Extensive internal bracing allows thinner wall material, maximising internal volume relative to external size. The port wraps around two walls to achieve the low tuning frequency needed for strong bass extension, and flared port entry and exit points reduce airflow noise.
Integration and controls
Connects to factory or aftermarket head units via RCA or high-level speaker inputs. Automatic turn-on works via signal sensing or DC offset sensing. Controls include a variable low-pass filter (50–200 Hz) and an output polarity switch. A quick-disconnect power connector makes removal straightforward when you need the boot space. Adding the optional RBC-1 remote level control (sold separately) gives driver's-seat volume adjustment.
Note: DCD amplified systems require specific matched components. Never use a DCD amplifier or its companion subwoofer with incompatible, non-DCD products — doing so will void the warranty and may cause severe damage.

About the JL Audio ACS110LG-TW1
From our tech experts at CEN
A complete powered bass system: a JL Audio 10 inch driver in a MicroSub enclosure with a DCD amplifier built in, rated at 400w RMS. Sub, box and amplifier arrive matched, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Who it suits
Drivers who want proper bass without building a system around it, and installs with no space for a separate amplifier. MicroSub enclosures are sized to slide under a seat or into a footwell where a conventional box would never go.
Our tech experts advise
It still needs a fused feed from the battery on the right cable gauge and a signal source, and the level and crossover want setting against your front speakers so it fills in rather than draws attention. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need an amplifier for this subwoofer?
A: Yes, unless it is an active (powered) subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. Passive subwoofers need an external amplifier matched to the RMS power and impedance shown in the Specification tab.
Q: What does RMS power mean?
A: RMS is the continuous power a subwoofer can handle, and it is the number that matters when matching an amplifier. Peak or max figures describe short bursts only. Match your amplifier output to the RMS rating in the Specification tab.
Q: Does the ACP110LG-TW1 need a separate amplifier?
A: No. The ACP110LG-TW1 has a built-in 400W DCD Class D amplifier matched to its 0.25 ohm subwoofer. DCD amplifiers and their companion subwoofers must not be used with non-DCD products.
Q: Can the ACP110LG-TW1 connect to a factory head unit?
A: Yes. It has RCA and high-level speaker inputs, with automatic turn-on via signal sensing or DC offset sensing, so it can be added to OEM or aftermarket head units.
Q: What's in the box with the ACP110LG-TW1?
A: The subwoofer system with black metal grille, power connection plug and 30 A ATO fuse installed, plus a speaker level input harness and the owner's manual.
Q: Can CEN install the ACP110LG-TW1?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises, including amplifier wiring. Contact us to discuss your vehicle.
