JL Audio Offers High-Performance Models to Match Any System 

Pairing your high-end speakers with the right subwoofers means the difference between a good hi-fi setup and a great one. Unfortunately, searching for subwoofers can sometimes seem like a wild goose chase. You may feel the need to sacrifice power to get the sound quality you want or settle for a smaller subwoofer to meet your aesthetic needs. 

The good news is JL Audio’s powered and in-wall subwoofers offer many options that ensure you don’t have to sacrifice at any point. Instead, you can focus on finding just the right product for your space. As the top hi-fi dealer in Franklin Lake, NJ, we wanted to summarize the features that matter most. When you’re ready to dive into your search, we recommend visiting our state-of-the-art showroom to test some of these models firsthand.

Size 

Size is a big factor in subwoofers, as the quality and range of your bass depend largely on the size of your driver. The bigger the driver, the greater the output. But what exactly is the right size? This will depend on how you want to use your high-end speakers and the size of your room. In an average-sized room, 10” drivers are usually a good starting point when working with high-performance products. Some dual applications use 8” drivers, while manufacturers like JL Audio offer 13.5” varieties ideal for larger rooms and more booming sound.

Power

Power and size usually go hand-in-hand, with larger drivers generating greater wattage. JL Audio’s subwoofers range from the Fathom 8-inch subwoofer delivering 300-watts to the premier Dual 13.5 Gloss system with 4,500 Watts of RMS Power. RMS power is a Root Mean Square measurement that gauges output during regular use–rather than promoting peak numbers rarely used by listeners. It’s important to note that power isn’t just about volume—it’s about clarity. High-wattage models allow for clean, distortion-free sound even at higher volumes. 

Room Calibration 

Bass signals are particularly hard to manage and are susceptible to distortion with the slightest deviation in room dimensions or speaker placement. Almost all subwoofers include room calibration technology to adjust the sound before it even leaves your subwoofer. For example, JL Audio uses Digital Automatic Room Optimization. Using calibrated microphones, audio experts like Electronic Concepts work with the software to prepare your subwoofer settings for optimal performance within your hi-fi or home theater system.

 

While the right power and calibration make all the difference, there’s no better way to find the perfect audio equipment than to test it out yourself. We have a state-of-the-art showroom in Northern New Jersey where you can hear some of the best high-end speakers and subwoofers.
