JL AUDIO L IMITED WARRANTY (US A)
Automotive Subwoofer Components
MEDIUM GRAY ( MINIMUM):
From a reliability standpoint,this zone represents
a very comfortable operating power range for
each driver.This levelof power will not stress the
woofer but will not extract all of its performance
potential,either.
Use of less than the minimum power level will
not damage the woofer, but may result in
unsatisfactory performance.
L IGHT GRAY (OPTIMUM) :
This zone represents the best compromise
between long-term reliability, high-output and
low-distortion performance. This power level is
lower than the woofer’s continuous power rating
(as published in its specifications),but you willstill
be taking advantage ofthe woofer’s,low-distortion
performance range without undue risk offailure.
DARK GRAY ( MAXIMUM):
Slightly more SPL will be gained by pushing the
power into this zone,but typically not more than
2dB,compared to the light gray zone.The subwoofer
driver is designed to operate safely up to this power
range,but not beyond.Operate with caution.
BL ACK ( WARRANTY VOID) :
We do not recommend operating woofers at
this levelofpower.In this zone,there is a very high
probability that the driver willfaildue to excessive
heat and/or mechanicalstress.
