With oversized, overbuilt components and very powerful motor systems, M7s are extreme subwoofers optimized for high-power operation in open-air applications.
Features
- Generates stunning bass in OPEN-AIR applications
- Engineered for use without a dedicated enclosure
- Grille and trim ring are easily removable for painting
- Models available with patented led illumination
- Exceeds international standards for salt fog and uv exposure
- 3-YEAR Warranty
- Incredible Displacement: Displacement is a direct measure of a subwoofer’s output capability. With more than twice the displacement of most 10-inch subwoofers, the M7-12IB is in a class of its own.
- Infinite Baffle Design: M7 marine subwoofers are purpose-engineered to operate without dedicated enclosures, needing only large volumes of air behind them.
- High Powered: The M7 marine subwoofer easily handles up to 600 watts RMS.
- DMA-OPTIMIZED Woofers: Proprietary motor, suspension and cone modeling systems are employed, resulting in reduced distortion, improved transient performance and stellar bass sound quality.
In the box
- One marine subwoofer
- One grille
- Six stainless steel mounting screws
- Six stainless steel washers

| Additional | The enclosure recommendations listed above are external dimensions which assume the use of 0.75″ (19 mm) thick material. If you are using 0.625″ (16 mm) thick material, subtract 0.25″ (6.5 mm) from each dimension. Do not use any material with a thickness of less than 0.625″ (16 mm) as this may compromise the rigidity of the enclosure. All enclosure volumes listed above are net internal volumes. Driver displacement, port displacement and brace displacement must be added to obtain the final gross internal volume. All enclosure dimensions above have already taken this into account. When using multiples in a common enclosure you will need to recalculate the enclosure and port dimensions. For assistance please contact your authorized JL Audio dealer or JL Audio Technical Support. We recommend the use of this in a bi-amplified system using high-quality satellites and a high-quality amplifier. We do not recommend the use of this with a passive crossover (coil), as this type of device will adversely affect performance. |
