The JL Audio F113V2 is the largest single-driver model in the Fathom series, designed to fill demanding rooms with deep, powerful bass and low distortion. It features an ultra-long throw W7 13.5-inch driver and a very powerful 3000W RMS Class D switching amplifier, the same technology used in JL Audio's flagship Gotham series. The sealed enclosure and advanced driver design provide shockingly deep bass extension and excellent dynamic capabilities, suitable for both cinematic and musical applications. The subwoofer includes JL Audio's Digital Automatic Room Optimization (D.A.R.O.) system with a calibrated microphone for automatic in-room frequency response tuning. Front panel controls allow adjustment of low-pass filter, phase, polarity, and extreme low-frequency trim. Inputs include balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections, with an XLR output for connecting a slave unit. The enclosure has a black gloss finish and measures 16.5" x 19.25" x 19.25", weighing 133 lbs. It is precision-built in the USA and highly regarded as a benchmark subwoofer for home theater and professional studio use.
