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

and should not be used as a comparison to other subwoofers to determine which
one is “louder” !

LED Equipped Models
Built-in, RGB LED lighting delivers beautiful accent illumination. LED functionality
requires separate wiring at each speaker location. Adjustable control of RGB
lighting requires the use of an RGB lighting controller (sold separately). For optimal
performance, we recommend using the JL Audio marine lighting controller (MLC-RW).
We recommend the use of this speaker in a bi-amplified system using high-quality satellite
speakers and amplifiers. We do not recommend the use of this subwoofer with a passive
crossover (coil), as this type of device will adversely affect performance.
