In every subwoofer design, the driver establishes the performance envelope and is the primary factor in the quality of the end result. Getting it wrong at this fundamental loudspeaker level means having to accept distortion and non-linearities in the final product. We insist on getting the driver right and building everything else around it.

As a designer and builder of loudspeakers, JL Audio has the luxury to center every home subwoofer project on a unique driver design— one which is precisely aimed at the physical and performance goals of the project.

We apply proprietary modeling systems to study loudspeaker motor, suspension and structural behaviors and use the most advanced test systems in the industry to verify the results. These practices, and our decades of loudspeaker design experience, provide insights and breakthroughs that lead to world-class results.

Never reluctant to innovate, nor to create new loudspeaker parts for a project, we find that investments leading to better performance and reliability are always well-spent. This position extends to the manufacturing of our home subwoofer drivers. We source the finest materials and components globally, but we build every one in our state-of-the-art USA factory.

JL Audio’s driver technology and precision assembly together form a fundamental advantage you will not find in other subwoofers.
