JL Audio 8W1v3-4 8" 20cm W1 Series Car Sub Subwoofer Driver 4ohm 150w RMS

8W1v3-4

8-inch (200 mm) Subwoofer Driver, 4 Ω

W1v3 8-inch Subwoofer (150 W, 4 Ω)

The 8W1v3 is an outstanding choice when space is very tight and amplifier power is moderate. It features shallow mounting depth (3.86 in. / 98 mm) and a compact motor structure, allowing it to comfortably fit in a lot of spaces where a typical 8-inch driver will not. Lacking a pole vent, the rear of the motor structure can be placed directly against an enclosure boundary. Excellent excursion capability and linearity allow it to reproduce sub-bass with shocking extension and quality. Several of JL Audio's proprietary technologies enhance its performance and reliability.

* Xmax specifications are derived via one-way voice coil overhang method with no correction factors applied.

** Efficiency (1 W / 1 m) 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”.
