JL Audio 12TW1 -4

Discover the 12TW1 -4, a powerful 12" (30cm) subwoofer from the renowned brand JL Audio. This subwoofer, based on the patented Thin Line subwoofer technology, is characterized by a low installation depth and high excursion capability. Its powerful combination makes it compatible with extremely small enclosures, while still delivering superior sound and bass. The 12TW1 -4 also boasts a unique design that requires minimal frontal clearance for the driver to travel. Despite its compact size, it does not compromise sound quality and delivers the rich, deep and controlled bass you expect from a JL Audio subwoofer system.

• The 12TW1 , based on JL Audio's patented Thin Line subwoofer technology, offers a powerful combination of shallow depth and high excursion while operating in insanely small enclosures (0.65 cu.ft. / 18.4 liters).
• In combination with a frame made of a special cast alloy, the 12TW1 able to work in extremely tight volumes.
• JL Audio's patented Thin-Line woofer technology compresses the architecture of the 12TW1 by a "Concentric Tube" structure built into the injection-molded cone body. This structure supports the voice coil and a fully annular spider while allowing a large motor structure to be placed further forward in the speaker than in conventional designs.
• The 12TW1 also features a sophisticated frame design that minimizes the frontal distance required for the driver to travel. This is achieved by deepening the suspension mounting surface so that most of the forward travel occurs within the frame dimensions. Thanks to this feature, the 12TW1 Even with the grille installed, there is only 22 mm (0.87 inches) of frontal clearance. This allows for more efficient use of space and a larger enclosure volume within a given overall depth.
• Although the 12TW1 Optimized for an enclosure much smaller than any other JL Audio 12-inch subwoofer, it never sounds like a big woofer struggling in a tiny box... instead, it delivers all the rich, deep, and controlled bass you've come to expect from a JL Audio subwoofer system.
