JL Audio WXv2 Series Subwoofer Driver
JL Audio WXv2 Series Subwoofer

The WXv2 offers true value through its solid performance, proper JL Audio build quality and reasonable price. The WXv2 is an ideal subwoofer for modest power applications where the existing audio system simply needs some proper subwoofer bass. The subwoofer is able to achieve this bass by optimizing its motor, polypropylene cone and foam woofer surround, providing a respectable one-way linear excursion of 10 mm. The subwoofer features excellent suspension linearity and a DMA-optimized motor system to keep distortion low. JL Audio's patented Elevated Frame Cooling design is also on-board for enhanced power handling and reliability. When listening to the strong bass from this subwoofer, its hard to believe that the WXv2 is JL Audio's least expensive subwoofer.

Although the WXv2 Subwoofer can be driven with as little as 75 Watts, for best audio performance it is recommended to run an amplifier capable of between 175 - 200 Watts of continuous power per driver, like the JL Audio JX250/1D or JL Audio XD200/2v2. In addition, these subwoofers are optimized to operate in either a ported or sealed enclosure, needing only 1.375 cubic feet of air space in a sealed box and 1.75 cubic feet in a ported/vented enclosure. (Specific dimensions and figures can be found in the user manual, linked further below.)

JL Audio Patented Cooling Technology

JL Audio Patented Cooling Technology

JL Audio's patented Elevated Frame Cooling design delivers cool air into the heart of the subwoofer in ways no other manufacture's subwoofer can. Purpose-engineered slots located directly above the top-plate stream air to the voice coil. In addition, the upper surface of the top-plate is directly exposed to this air flow, whereas on a conventional design it is isolated from this flow by the lower flange of the frame. This technology not only increases thermal power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression. In plain English, this sub keeps itself cool so you can play your system longer, safer and without having to worry about frying the motor.

Extraordinary Linearity and Control

Tight, Clean, Articulate Bass

DMA is JL Audio’s proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system and is aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, WXv2 motors remain linear in motor force over an extreme range of excursion and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass. Its main catalyst is the woofer's Ultra-long Voice Coil, that allows extreme linear excursion, phenomenal power handling and control, control, control.

Great sub for the money

Bought this to match up with the single 12" that I already had. You cant go wrong for this price. Im running 2 of these off a JL 250/1 amp at 2ohms and they hit hard. Not OMG I blew out the windows hard but hard enough to shake every little bit of the car.

These hit decent for the price

I've been running one for about a year now. Have it hooked up to a small JL Audio JX250/1 mono amp. The combo hits harder than other systems I have built with double the power. I liked the sub so much I just bought another one so I can drop the amp down to 2 ohms.

I know there are tons of subs out there that are probably much better than this, but for under $100, this is a great value sub that plays like it costs twice the price.

Why hate a jl of any kind

These subs are perfect starters especially in my small compact car. I hooked 2 of them up and they bump all the lows and mids to perfection. I run a lot of power to them and they show no signs of letting up. They can be pushed passed there max to be honest. I run almost 1300 watts through the pair in a sealed enclosure. They hit hard and loud. If you do buy these, buy a pair and be prepared.
