** Efficiency (1W/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's
output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other
subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".

W3v3: Technologies
W3v3
Subwoofer Drivers
Clearly the best sounding W3's yet, these subwoofers feature
DMA-optimized, long linear excursion capability to minimize distortion
and increase output. W3v3's are available in single 2 ohm, 4 ohm and 8
ohm versions (6W3v3 available in 4 ohm and 8 ohm only) and are
superb performers at medium power levels in compact sealed or ported
enclosures.
Multiple patented technologies enhance performance and reliability.
As with JL Audio's flagship drivers, development was guided by JL
Audio's
proprietary DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis) modeling system to deliver
outstanding dynamic stability
and low
