JL Audio 8W3v2
8″ Subwoofer
The discontinued W3v2 subwoofers offer phenomenal performance at moderate power levels, making them ideal for those seeking sound quality and solid impact from compact enclosures.
These subwoofers incorporate the patented Elevated Frame-Cooling technology for enhanced thermal dissipation and 20% more power handling than the original 10W3, 12W3 and 15W3. Cosmetic upgrades include a powder-coated silver frame finish, a dished cone/dust-cap design and a rubber mounting flange gasket that accepts grille mesh inserts directly (grille inserts sold separately).
The 8W3v2 comes in 3 variants, namely, the 8W3v2-D2, the 8W3v2-D4 and the 8W3v2-D6.
