JBL

If you knew about Dolby, THX or DTS, then you surely have realize that for the better part of the last 60 years in audio innovation, always JBL is the top choice. You’d be surprised to know that the label had started very problematically and then became the most respected brand names for sound systems, private, public or commercial, theater, home systems and car audio.

For car subwoofers, nothing beats JBL specs for specs. That is because the result of all those 60 years of patient research and study, are there you can see on those every single JBL audio component.

JBL Grand Touring Series

What They Are: Component Subwoofers With Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coils (DVC) On Size Choices Of 8”, 10”, 12” And 15”.

One of the best things about JBL subwoofers is that it redefines the newest low. These Grand Touring Series is perfect for those audio enthusiasts who like to fill every niche of the sound frequency spectrum. Only a few other car subwoofer designs exist that has the capability to go into such low frequency. And what more, unlike those mainstream car subwoofers, the JBL Grand Touring Series mixes the right amount of sound pressure level with the right kind of fidelity, minimizing distortion in such a way that you won’t be hearing garbage at extreme volumes.

These JBL audio subwoofers have a polypropylene cone, allowing the most “in-the-middle” stiffness, therefore, there’s no ringing common with harder, metal materials. The Hi-Roll rubber surround along the core allows a very generous amount of cone excursions without sacrificing structural integrity. A hard wearing dustcap is placed to reinforce the cone during those kinds of frequency lows that kick in without distortion. And though it’s a 15” JBL subwoofer equipment, it’s more compact in profile than what you would see on other subwoofers on its size category. And yet another good thing? The price, which is at $139 for the 15” variety, the 12” variety sells at $99, the 10” at $89, and the smallest 8” at $79. If you can do the math correctly, its $50 less than those overhyped Alpine subwoofers.

JBL Power Series

What They Are: Component Subwoofers With Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coils (DVC) On 10” And 12” Size Variety.

Supreme performance for JBL comes from the Power Series design. The JBL Power Series is basically a subwoofer design that sports the deepest cone and tallest surround in the existing conventional subwoofer. Plus, this JBL subwoofer line uses Kevlar as the cone material; everyone who knows his stuff knows that the best cone material there is Kevlar. Because of the added stiffness, there’s no “flat out”-ing in extreme volumes. The Hi-Roll rubber surrounding the Kevlar core only strengthens the equipment more, allowing the widest amount of cone excursions without sacrificing structural integrity. And like all JBL subwoofer products, a hard wearing dustcap on the cone reinforces it on those frequency lows that kick without distortion. The 10” JBL Power component subwoofer costs $179 while the largest variety JBL Power component subwoofer at 12” costs $199.

All the JBL subwoofers employs a durable metal die cast frame among the reinforced internal parts, thus ensuring nothing will break down on the roughest play.

Do you have an urge to get those lows bumping? If you do, you’d better make it right. Don’t make a fool of yourself in front of your peers. JBL quality standard had been used ever since the 60 years of its life. The JBL standards are what started the THX quality testing in the first place, resulting too in JBL as becoming the world’s foremost cinema level loudspeaker manufacturer.
