This JL Audio 10TW3 subwoofer package includes a single 10" TW3-D4 subwoofer and the JL Audio JD500/1D amplifier. With this setup, the 10" TW3 woofer will receive 500 watts of RMS power from the amplifier if wired in parallel. JL Audio recommends between 200-400 watts of RMS power, and 250 watts is optimum according to JL. With this amplifier,
you CANNOT turn the gain all the way up. You will void the warranty and likely blow the subwoofer. If this scares you, we recommend stepping down the the package with the JD250/1D. That will put out 250 watts at 2 ohms, give you the optimum power according the JL, and it will guarantee that you do not void your warranty.
The JL Audio TW3 woofer offer full size bass output in a thin, low profile frame. The TW3 uses JL's patented concentric tube technology to move the motor close to the front of the frame, allowing for maximum excursion in a very shallow space. Many thin woofer out there sound like thin woofers. Not the JL Audio TW3.
The output on these woofers rivals their full sized counterpart, the W3v3.
The JD series of JL Audio amplifiers offer great value, an affordable price, and the quality and reliability that you expect from a JL Audio amplifier. The JD series amplifiers are overbuilt and designed to provide superior sub-bass response.
The JD500/1 is supplying more than the recommended power at a 2 ohm load. Please be aware that you will have to ensure that the gains are not turned all the way up. If not, you will void the warranty and risk blowing the subwoofer.
