Active subwoofer JL Audio ACP108LG-W3v3

Active system with one 8W3v3-0.40 subwoofer and built-in 250W RMS class D amplifier in a bass reflex enclosure. With MicroSub+™ systems, the power supply is built right into the subwoofer system. Class D self-amplified subwoofer system uses exclusive DCD™ amplifier technology to extract maximum performance from a specially designed ultra-low impedance W3v3 driver. By combining direct power conversion with an ultra-high current output section, DCD™ amplifiers are free of conventional switching power supplies, allowing them to generate remarkable power with unprecedented efficiency. The exceptional characteristics of the enclosure are ensured by its efficient design with a slot and precise tuning of the W3v3 subwoofer. Extensive internal bracing allows the use of thinner wall material that maximizes the enclosure's internal volume relative to its external volume. The port wraps around two walls of the cabinet to create the necessary low tuning frequency that provides excellent extension and smoothness of response. Expanded port input and output further enhances sound quality by minimizing port airflow noise. Integration with OEM and aftermarket head units is a breeze thanks to a variety of input options and auto-on capability (via signal sensing or DC offset sensing). Also included is a variable frequency low pass (50-200 Hz) along with a switch to control the output polarity. Adding the optional RBC-1 Remote Level Control (sold separately) lets you control subwoofer levels right from the driver's seat. A quick-disconnect power connector makes it easy to remove the subwoofer when you need more space.

About the JL Audio brand

JL Audio is an American manufacturer of consumer audio equipment that specializes in home, vehicle and boat sound systems. It is one of the main pioneers of vehicle sound systems and is undoubtedly best known for its high-end subwoofers. The company was founded in 1975 and is therefore one of the oldest manufacturers in this field. The original focus was on home sound systems, but already at the turn of the seventies and eighties, they also started to deal with the car audio segment, the popularity of which grew rapidly at the time. During their rich history, JL Audio produced a lot of completely unique and patented subwoofers that had almost no competition at the time. And it is similar even now. Subwoofers from this manufacturer amaze with their performance and at the same time absolutely top sound quality, unique patents and excellent workmanship. In particular, the top W6 and W7 series have long been among the most interesting products on the market today. However, the revolutionary flat subwoofers of the TW1 and TW3 series, as well as the perfectly tuned subwoofer enclosures, will also impress. You can expect the same quality from the amplifiers, and it's also worth noting the high-end products designed for integration into factory audio systems. In short, you can't go wrong with JL Audio products and you can always rely on their high quality and uniqueness.

RMS power of the subwooferThe RMS power of an active subwoofer is the constant power that the active subwoofer can play over a long period of time. We recommend following this value. The RMS power of active subwoofers is taken as the RMS power of the integrated amplifier, which in most cases is slightly undersized, which guarantees protection against subwoofer burning. 250 W
RMS power of the amplifier250 W
Energy class of the amplifierAmplifiers are divided into two basic classes: analog and digital . Analog amplifiers (A/B) have higher consumption requirements, but usually have a more natural sound. Digital amplifiers (D) have significantly lower consumption and higher efficiency, but the sound may not be as faithful as with classic analog amplifiers. D
The diameter of the subwoofer usedThe diameter of the subwoofer that is installed in the active box. 200 mm
Low-pass filter (LPF)50 - 200 Hz
High level inputThe high-level input on the active subwoofer enables connection directly to the speakers in the car without purchasing an external high/low converter. Use in the case of mounting an active subwoofer on the original car radio. Yes
Automatic on and offThis function will facilitate your installation and solve the problem of finding a remote signal, which is sometimes a problem with original car radios. The active subwoofer with the Auto sense function can recognize that the equipment in the car is active and turn itself on. A useful and practical feature. Yes
Remote control included in the packageSome models of active subwoofers also have wired remote controls in the package, which on the one hand connect to the active box, and on the other hand you have a potentiometer that you can place anywhere in the cabin. A common place to place the remote control is under the steering wheel. The advantage is the regulation of power, and therefore volume, depending on driving conditions and the mood of the crew in the car. No
Option to purchase a remote controlIf the active subwoofer has a remote control input. Yes
