JL Audio HO110RG-W3V3 Subwoofer with Enclosure
550,00 €
JL Audio HO110RG-W3V3 is an enclosed car subwoofer designed to add bass to a vehicle audio system. Its slot-ported enclosure directs sound toward the rear, so allow suitable space in the boot. Nominal system impedance is 2 Ω, and continuous power handling is 500 W RMS. The dark grey carpeted enclosure has a black insert, and aluminium bar grilles are included.
JL Audio HO110RG-W3V3 is an enclosed car subwoofer designed to add low frequencies to a vehicle audio system. Its nominal system impedance is 2 Ω, so the amplifier must be suitable for that load. Its continuous power handling is 500 W RMS. This rating describes the subwoofer system’s power handling limit; it is not a statement of an amplifier’s output power.
Enclosure design
The coupled-chamber enclosure has a slot port and directs sound toward the rear. Allow space behind it when choosing a position in the vehicle. Items placed close to the back of the enclosure could obstruct the sound, so check the space around it as well as the space needed for the box itself.
The enclosure is finished in dark grey carpet with a black insert. Aluminium bar grilles are included and cover the front of the subwoofer. When loading the boot, it is still sensible to keep luggage and other objects from striking the enclosure. Consider how you normally use the available cargo space before deciding where the box will stand.
Choosing and setting up an amplifier
Start with the amplifier’s permitted load. This system has a 2 Ω nominal impedance, and the amplifier needs to be rated for use with that load. When comparing amplifier power figures, use ratings given for the same load and under comparable measurement conditions. A maximum-power figure alone does not tell you how an amplifier will operate with this enclosure. The subwoofer’s RMS figure describes continuous power handling and does not, by itself, specify a particular amplifier model.
If your amplifier or car audio unit has a low-pass filter, use it to set the transition between this subwoofer and the other speakers. Begin at a moderate bass level, then raise it gradually while listening. If the bass starts to dominate the rest of the music, reduce the level. The enclosure’s controls and connector types are not specified, so make these adjustments using the equipment in your existing audio system. Check its available settings and connections when planning the installation.
Finding a place in the vehicle
Measure more than the floor of the boot before choosing a position. The enclosure has different depths at its base and top, which matters particularly beside a sloping seat back. Check the available space higher above the floor as well as the floor space. Because the sound is directed rearward, also check that there will be clear space behind the enclosure once it is in place.
The enclosure weighs 15.74 kg. It should stand securely in the chosen location without preventing you from using the boot as needed. If you expect to remove it, consider whether you can lift it comfortably and move it through the boot opening. The dimensions below describe the enclosure itself; getting it through the opening and into position may require additional room.

FAQ
What amplifier does this enclosure need?
Choose an amplifier that can operate with a 2 Ω load. Assess its continuous power rating at that load, using comparable ratings when considering different amplifiers. The enclosure’s RMS rating is a power handling figure, so it does not identify one required amplifier model.
Can I connect the enclosure directly to my car radio?
This passive subwoofer system requires a suitable amplifier. A radio’s subwoofer signal output alone cannot power it. The connector type is not specified, so choose wiring that matches the connections on the amplifier you use and on the enclosure.
Will the enclosure fit beside a sloping seat back?
Compare the 305 mm external depth with the space at the boot floor and the 190.5 mm top-panel depth with the space higher up beside the seat back. Check both levels: a floor measurement alone cannot establish whether the enclosure will fit.
Can I use this enclosure with standard car speakers?
It is designed to supplement the low frequencies, so it can play alongside other car speakers. Set the balance using your amplifier or audio unit. Compatibility with specific vehicles or factory audio systems is not stated.
How should I balance the bass with the rest of the system?
Start with a low bass level. If your equipment allows it, adjust the low-pass filter while listening to a familiar recording. Aim for bass that supports the other speakers without overwhelming them, and reduce the level if it becomes too prominent.
Can I use two of these enclosures?
Using two changes the total load seen by the amplifier. That load depends on how the enclosures are connected. Before connecting both, calculate the resulting load and compare it with the amplifier’s permitted limits.
What is included?
The enclosure comes with aluminium bar grilles. Plan for an amplifier and wiring separately, according to your car audio equipment and the installation location you choose.
