JL Audio 8W1V3-4 with JD250/1D 250 Watt Subwoofer Kit

The JL Audio 8W1v3-2 is has a single, 4 ohm voice coil and offers improved construction and better materials than the W0 line. The W1s have a Mica-filled polypropylene cone and a rubber surround. This 8" subwoofer combines JL Audio's hard-hitting bass, affordability, and long term durability, all into one compact, yet impressive, package.

The 8W1v3-2 is designed to work in a sealed enclosure. 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. We recognize you're probably working with a tight space, so we recommend powering the 8W1v3-2 with a 250 watt JL Audio monoblock amplifier. If you are only running 1 subwoofer, be sure to look at the amplifier output at 2 ohms, not just the number that the amp is rated at when completing your setup.

The 8W1v3-2 8" subwoofer is optimized to operate in a compact 0.350 cubic feet (9.90 liter) sealed enclosure but will also operate in a 0.5 cubic feet (14.16 liter) ported enclosure if needed.

If you are running a single subwoofer, the JD250/1 is a perfect amp to power either 1 or 2 8W1v3-2 subwoofers.

The JL Audio JD250/1D delivers raw JL power in a compact, efficient, Class D amplifier. The 250 watt monoblack amplifier is perfect for powering a W1 subwoofer or a smaller 6" or 8" sub. You get 250 watts of power at 2 ohms, 200 watts RMS at 3 ohms, and 150W RMS at 4 ohms. The JD 250/1 uses JL's NexD switching technology for maximum efficiency and minimal distortion. These JD amplifers now feature an LED clipping indicator which allows you to set the gain perfectly without a clipped input or output signal. You will know exactly where your head unit clips to eliminiate input distoration. In addition, the LED clipping indicator allows you to set the gain to the perfect level so you do not get a clipped signal on the output. Together, this ensures maximum life out of your subwoofer(s) by eliminating harmful distortion, the number one reason why subwoofers blow.

The JD250/1 has a 12dB/octave low pass filter and variable frequency selection between 50-500hz. The JD250/1 accepts both high and low level inputs allowing you to use RCA cables or speaker level inputs.

This amplifier is perfect for powering a single 8W1v3 or a 6W3v3-4 subwoofer. These are smaller subwoofers that can deliver the bass you want, but they are rated at 150W RMS with 4 ohms. If you are powering a 10" W0, W1, or larger woofer, you want a JL Audio amp, and you are on a budget, check out the JD500/1. You will be happier with the extra power. It will give you more output to better power those subwoofers with less distortion.
