JL Audio CS112G-W6V3 Enclosed Car Subwoofer
905,00 €
The JL Audio CS112G-W6V3 is a car subwoofer in a sealed enclosure. Its 2 Ω nominal impedance and 600 W RMS continuous power handling help you choose a suitable amplifier. The black carpeted enclosure measures 359 × 406 × 295 mm, so you can plan its position in the boot using its dimensions. A protective grille is included.
The JL Audio CS112G-W6V3 is a car subwoofer in a sealed enclosure. It has 600 W RMS continuous power handling and a 2 Ω nominal system impedance. These are the key figures to check when choosing an amplifier. The enclosure is finished in black carpet, and a protective grille is included.
Sealed enclosure and finish
A sealed enclosure has no bass reflex port. You therefore do not need to leave room for a port opening when planning where the enclosure will sit in the boot. You do, however, need to keep space clear in front of the speaker. Avoid placing the enclosure where luggage will press against the grille. The grille covers the speaker; it is not a support for other items.
Think about the things you usually carry before choosing a position. Check whether they could shift during a journey and end up against the grille. A position that works with an empty boot may be less practical once you load it, so consider how you will use the space day to day.
Choosing an amplifier
The 2 Ω nominal impedance is the load the amplifier output must be able to handle. If you intend to bridge amplifier channels, check the permitted load specifically for bridged operation. An amplifier’s ability to drive 2 Ω on a single channel does not, by itself, tell you what load it can handle when its channels are bridged.
The 600 W RMS figure describes continuous power handling. It is not a recommended listening volume or a suggested position for an amplifier control. Compare amplifier power ratings at a 2 Ω load, under the conditions stated for that amplifier. A peak power figure does not replace that comparison. For everyday use, the continuous ratings and proper amplifier adjustment are more useful guides.
The connection type for this model is not specified here. Impedance and power figures alone therefore do not establish how the speaker cable should be connected. Before installation, decide where the enclosure will go and plan a route for the speaker cable from the amplifier to that position.
Finding space in the car
The enclosure’s external dimensions are 359 × 406 × 295 mm, measured as width, height and depth. Measure more than the spot where you want it to rest: also check the opening through which you will carry it into the boot. Once it is in place, confirm that the boot lid can close.
Its 21.31 kg net weight matters when planning to move the enclosure and deciding where it will sit in a moving car. Keep it accessible if you may need to reposition it or reach other equipment in the boot. The chosen position should leave the grille free from pressure and allow you to use the boot in the way you need.
Adjusting the sound
Set the low-pass filter and bass level on the system amplifier or another device that provides those controls. If your amplifier has a low-pass filter, around 80 Hz is a starting point. Listen from your usual seat and adjust the setting until the bass blends with the other speakers in the car. The starting point is a way to begin listening and adjusting, rather than a fixed setting for every installation.
The amplifier’s input sensitivity control is not an extra volume control. Setting it too high can cause distortion before you reach the listening level you want. Consider enclosure placement and amplifier settings together: moving the enclosure can change the balance of bass you hear from your seat. After changing its position, listen again before deciding whether the settings need adjustment.

FAQ
What should I check first when choosing an amplifier?
Check that it can operate with a 2 Ω load and look at its stated continuous power under those conditions. If you plan to bridge channels, use the specifications for bridged operation when assessing the amplifier.
Can I connect it directly to my car stereo?
No. Do not connect it directly to the car stereo. It needs an amplifier suitable for a 2 Ω load. Check the amplifier’s stated continuous power at that load.
Can the enclosure sit close to a wall of the boot?
The sealed enclosure has no bass reflex port that requires a gap. You still need to leave clear space in front of the grille in the position you choose.
Will it fit if the boot has enough space for its dimensions?
Compare the dimensions with the boot opening as well as the intended position. The direction in which you carry it in, whether the lid closes, and access to other items can all affect where you place it.
What should I adjust if the bass overwhelms the other speakers?
First, reduce the bass level on the amplifier. If the amplifier has a low-pass filter, adjust it while listening from your usual position in the car.
Is this model intended for a home stereo or cinema system?
This enclosure is intended for a car. Connecting it to a home amplifier or cinema receiver would depend on whether that equipment can operate with a 2 Ω load.
