JL Audio 10W7AE 750W 10" 25cm Anniversary Edition Subwoofer Bass Driver

10th Anniversary Edition - W7 10-inch Subwoofer Driver (750 W, 3 Ω)

If you are seeking reference-grade sub-bass from a 10-inch driver, your search ends here. Total Car Audio in the UK called it like this when they reviewed the 10W7: "This gives an all round performance of such high quality on every level, that bettering it will be very hard to achieve." Not only does the 10W7 deliver amazing excursion capability for its size, but it also maintains complete composure under power and is able to track complex bass material with uncanny accuracy and power.

The 10W7AE is best used with amplifier power in the 300W - 750W range and is optimized to operate in a 1.25 cu. ft. (35.4 l) sealed enclosure, or a 1.5 cu. ft. (42.5 l) ported enclosure. Detailed enclosure recommendations can be found in the "Specifications" tab.

W7AE (Anniversary Edition) Subwoofers celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the launch of the W7 subwoofers. Functionally, they are identical to the original W7's, but they are distinguished by the following cosmetic differences:

• Satin-Black Powdercoated Baskets
• Bright Anodized Surround Clamp Ring
• Anniversary Edition Cone Badge
• Anniversary Edition Terminal Label

2011 marks the tenth anniversary of JL Audio's flagship W7 automotive subwoofer drivers. To commemorate this occasion, each W7 model is now offered in special "Anniversary Edition" (AE) trim, which includes a satin black frame finish, a bright-anodized trim ring and special badging.

Once you begin to analyze the technology and the performance envelope of a JL Audio W7AE, you realize that these are much more than just 'big SPL speakers'.

The W7AE embodies JL Audio's commitment to pushing the envelope of speaker technology, with six patented technologies and a completely unique set of component parts. Each W7AE model has been meticulously engineered to reproduce sub-bass with extreme fidelity at any volume level.

The final product is a completely original design from surround to back-plate, requiring a significant tooling investment for all of the component parts. Each individual W7AE model is a completely unique design and shares no major parts with its siblings, because each motor and each suspension system is specifically designed and tuned for that model. Even the bolts and screws used to assemble the speaker have been purpose-designed and manufactured to JL's specifications.

The result is the ultimate subwoofer driver... one which can thrill you equally with finesse or brute force and delivers a musical listening experience like no other.
