- Does this subwoofer need an amplifier?
- Yes. It is a passive driver with no built-in amp, so it needs an external amplifier rated for a 4-ohm load and about 200 W RMS.
- Can it be used in a car?
- It can, but it is built for marine use. The sealed motor and treated cone suit boats, and the white grille is styled for gelcoat interiors.
- What size enclosure does it need?
- It is an 8-inch sub, so it needs a sealed enclosure or cutout sized for an 8-inch driver. Check JL Audio's recommended sealed volume for this model before building.
- Is it suitable for saltwater boats?
- JL Audio rates its marine subs for wet, open-air use, but no speaker is fully salt-proof. Mount it where it gets some protection and rinse the area after saltwater exposure.
- How much power can it handle?
- It is rated at 200 W RMS. Pair it with an amp that delivers roughly that continuous power at 4 ohms rather than a much larger one.
