What exact subwoofer does this fit?
This enclosure is precision-built specifically for a single 8" JL Audio® W7 or W7AE subwoofer (models 8W7-3 or 8W7AE-3). The cutout diameter is perfectly matched to the W7's unique footprint at 6.94" (6-15/16").
Will it fit in my vehicle?
Yes, it is designed to maximize output while maintaining a practical, space-conscious footprint in your trunk or cargo area. The exact external dimensions are 18.75" W x 12.875" H x 14" D.
How is the performance and wiring?
This vented/ported design is tuned optimally to 36.8Hz to unlock the incredible output, extreme excursion, and deep low-end extension (down to 30.1Hz F3) that the 8W7 is famous for. It features an upgraded 2" round nickel-plated binding post for secure and reliable wiring connections.
OEM-Spec™ Enclosures: Purpose-Built for JL Audio®
Dropping a premium JL Audio® subwoofer into a cheap leaky box is a quick way to leave performance on the table. Our LAB OEM-Spec™ enclosures aren't trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they are precision-built tools manufactured right here in the USA to do exactly what JL Audio® intended.
We construct these with rock-solid 3/4” CNC-cut MDF and feature 1” or thicker front baffles on select models to support heavier motors. These enclosures follow JL Audio’s exact volumetric blueprints to the letter. By utilizing their highly efficient smaller-airspace designs, you get two very practical benefits. You get increased mechanical power handling to keep your sub safe from over-excursion, and you gain a significantly smaller footprint in your trunk.
Available in both ported and sealed configurations for most JL Audio® drivers, the OEM-Spec™ line delivers the accurate, hard-hitting bass JL is famous for at a price point that actually makes sense.
