This is the speaker line that broke all the rules
and established a new reference standard for automotive subwoofer design. Designed for
high power applications, W6’s feature tremendous excursion capability, very small box
requirements and a level of sound quality that remains unsurpassed. They also feature a
dual 6 ohm voice coil configuration which allows the wiring of three W6 subs as a 4 ohm
mono load, while still permitting the wiring of one or two subs to conventional or high
current amplifiers (another JL Audio innovation.)

Available in 8", 10", 12", 15" and 18" sizes.
To assist the do-it-yourselfers, there is a comprehensive wiring guide located in the
wiring tutorial.
