RECOMMENDED CONTINUOUS (RMS) POWER RANGE FOR ONE SUBWOOFER DRIVER:
JL Audio offers an extensive line of high-performance subwoofer drivers to fit a wide variety of enclosure and power applications. When designing systems with our drivers, it is very important to
achieve a good power match between the subwoofer amplifier and the subwoofer driver's capabilities. The power levels listed in the above chart represent continuous (RMS) amplifier power per
woofer and assume that the user will regularly make full use of that power
without drastically overdriving the amplifier(s)
. Make sure you factor system impedance and the total number
of subwoofers into your calculations. Adhering to these power recommendations will result in systems that are both reliable and enjoyable.

Automotive Subwoofer Components
MEDIUM GRAY (MINIMUM):
From a reliability standpoint, this zone represents
a very comfortable operating power range for
each driver. This level of power will not stress the
woofer but will not extract all of its performance
potential, either.
Use of less than the minimum power level will
not damage the woofer, but may result in
unsatisfactory performance.
LIGHT GRAY (OPTIMUM):
This zone represents the best compromise
between long-term reliability, high-output and
low-distortion performance. This power level is
lower than the woofer’s continuous power rating
(as published in its specifications), but you will still
be taking advantage of the woofer’s, low-distortion
performance range without undue risk of failure.
DARK GRAY (MAXIMUM):
Slightly more SPL will be gained by pushing the
power into this zone, but typically not more than
2dB, compared to the light gray zone. The subwoofer
driver is designed to operate safely up to this power
range, but not beyond. Operate with caution.
BLACK (WARRANTY VOID):
We do not recommend operating woofers at
this level of power. In this zone, there is a very high
probability that the driver will fail due to excessive
heat and/or mechanical stress.
Subwoofer drivers operated at these levels of
power are NOT covered under warranty.
