JL Audio 92166 12" W0v3 Series Mobile Subwoofer

The 12W0v3 is a rugged performer with excellent efficiency, excursion capability and linearity. Its overall performance envelope that puts it right at the top of its price class. It features a beefy 2 in. diameter voice coil and our patented Elevated Frame Cooling design for enhanced power handling and reliability.

The 12W0v3 is best used with amplifier power in the 75W - 300W range and is optimized to operate in a moderately sized 1.375 cu. ft. (38.9 l) sealed enclosure, or a 1.75 cu. ft. (49.6 l) ported enclosure. Detailed enclosure recommendations can be found in the "Specifications" tab.

Features:

• DMA Optimized Motor System
  DMA Optimized Motor System Highly optimized motor system delivers linear motor force over a wide range of excursion and power levels to reduce distortion. more info...
• Most Real Excursion in its Class
  The W0v3's offer more linear excursion than our original W6 subwoofers, at less than half the price!
• Elevated Frame-Cooling
  (U.S. Patent #6,219,431) Creates a pathway for high-velocity air to flow directly across the top-plate and onto the voice coil.
• Insanely Great Bass in Small Enclosures!
  For maximum application flexibility, W0v3's are designed for use in compact sealed or medium-size ported enclosures.

Footnotes:

• * 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”.
