JL Audio's award-winning lineup of powered subwoofer systems begins with proprietary subwoofer drivers and amplifier designs, precisely optimized for their intended physical envelopes and design goals. Because of this, they are not limited by which sub-assemblies are openly available on the world market. Instead, each system is fanatically engineered and precision-built in our Miramar, Florida factory to reflect their passion for spectacular audio and product quality.  Two new models coming soon starting at $1200

JL Audio F-112  Retail $3100 satin black, $3200 gloss black

The Fathom f112 is a superb subwoofer solution in medium-sized rooms and is equally at home supporting a music-only system or a home theater system. The combination of an ultra-long throw 12-inch driver and a very powerful 1500 watt switching amplifier give it the kind of output normally associated with far larger subwoofer systems. Because it is built with the same driver and amplifier technology as our flagship Gotham, the f112 delivers a tremendous level of sound quality. Low distortion, excellent dynamic capabilities and shockingly deep bass extension will allow you to experience all the excitement of the most demanding cinematic material, while also being able to reproduce all the nuance and texture of your most delicate musical material. A complete set of signal processing features is easily accessible on the front surface of every Fathom. These include a highly flexible low-pass filter, variable phase, switchable polarity, e.l.f. trim and our powerful Automatic Room Optimization (A.R.O.) system. A calibrated microphone is included for the A.R.O. system. Input connections are made via unbalanced RCA connections or balanced Neutrik XLR jacks. Also included is an XLR output to connect a second FathomŽ as a slave unit.

JL Audio IWS (in wall subwoofer)

The same minds that engineered JL Audio's reference-grade Fathom and Gotham powered subwoofers have created an amazing in-wall subwoofer solution, centered on a purpose-engineered, thin-line driver with patented technology. Housing this exotic driver is a critically engineered enclosure with a unique floating mount design to minimize wall excitation. The enclosure features extensive architectural features aimed at improving rigidity while keeping a very low profile and minimal wall thickness. A paintable, fine steel-mesh grille, also designed to control vibration, is included for each enclosure in a system. The IWS System One is driven by a rack-mountable, purpose-tuned amplifier, capable of delivering up to 1000 watts of clean power, and armed with serious processing features, including our acclaimed Automatic Room Optimization system. There is no need to lower your expectations when selecting this remarkable in-wall solution... it's a real Fathom.
