This Tenth Anniversary edition of JL Audio's ultimate performance subwoofer features multiple patented technologies inherited from the previous W7 driver, but are distinguished by a few cosmetic differences to set it apart - most notably the Satin-Black Powdercoated Basket and Bright Anodized Surround Clamp Ring. Moreover, an OverRoll Surround, W-Cone technology and a Floating-Cone attach method are just a few of the JL Audio exclusive assets that set the W7AE above any other high end subwoofer driver currently on the market. These drivers have set the bar for drivers wanting to provide the deep transparent lows of a Sound Quality woofer and the hard hitting power of an SPL sub. The W7AE is able to provide its sublime sound quality and extreme output by efficiently dissipating thermal buildup and optimizing its staggering linear excursion. Although the 12W7AE-3 Subwoofer can be driven with as little as 400 Watts, for best audio performance it is recommended to run an amplifier capable of between 750 - 1000 Watts of continuous power per driver, like the JL Audio HD750/1 or JL Audio XD1000/1v2. In addition, these subwoofers are optimized to operate in either a ported or sealed enclosures, needing 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.) Every W7AE subwoofer is built to exacting quality standards in JL Audio's Miramar, Florida factory. Each of the four models is a completely original design from surround to back-plate (even the bolts and screws used in assembly have been purpose-designed and manufactured to our specifications). Its this attention to detail that delivers the JL Audio quality and performance we have all become accustomed to. 1.15 inches (29mm) one-way Linear Excursion1.15 inches (29mm) of Linear ExcursionBy utilizing space wasted in conventional speakers, JL Audio's ground-breaking OverRoll Surround controls the W7's massive excursion without sacrificing precious cone area. In addition, the W-Cone assembly delivers astonishing cone stiffness with minimal mass. The shape also provides incredible torsional rigidity, which is critical to maintaining voice coil alignment at the suspension limits. Combined, these two technologies allow for the driver to achieve extraordinary linear excursion (Xmax), therefore providing that rich JL Audio bass. Unparalleled Linearity and AccuracyUnparalleled Linearity and AccuracyDMA is JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system and is aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, W7AE 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 driver's Ultra-long Voice Coil, that allows extreme linear excursion, phenomenal power handling and control, control, control Product Features: 12" W7 Series Subwoofer DriverPower Handling:RMS: 1000 wattsRecommended Power Range: 400 - 1000 watts10th Anniversary Edition:Satin-Black Powdercoated BasketBright Anodized Surround Clamp RingAnniversary Edition Cone BadgeAnniversary Edition Terminal LabelImpedance: Single 3 OhmPolypropylene W-Cone assemblyPolyester foam OverRoll surroundFloating-cone attach methodPlateau-reinforced spider attachmentRadially cross-drilled pole pieceMassive forced-air-cooled aluminum alloy frameHighly linear, DMA-Optimized motor systemHuge diameter, progressive roll spiderCo-extruded double lead wiresDual ultra-long voice coilsAluminum Bar Grille Available: SGR-12W7 Precision-built in USA at JL Audio's Miramar, Florida factoryMounting depth: 9.5 "Cutout dimensions: 10.5 "Free Air Resonance (Fs): 27.2 Hz Sensitivity: 86.2 dBXmax: 29 mmReference Efficiency (no): 0.2500%Frequency response: ~18 ~ 200 Hz85 Hz LPF recommended
