About this product

The JL Audio® MicroSub™ W3 Enclosed Car Subwoofer delivers powerful, accurate bass from a remarkably compact enclosure, making it an ideal solution for vehicles where installation space is limited. Built around JL Audio’s W3v3 subwoofer technology, the MicroSub system combines a high-performance driver with a purpose-engineered enclosure to produce deep, articulate low-frequency output without requiring the space of a traditional subwoofer box. Garmin offers the MicroSub W3 family in 6-, 8-, and 10-inch configurations, with single- and dual-subwoofer options available depending on size.

W3v3 drivers incorporate technologies originally developed for JL Audio’s flagship W7 series, including a DMA-optimized motor system for precise, linear cone movement and reduced distortion. A mineral-filled polypropylene cone provides the rigidity and durability needed for strong bass reproduction, while Elevated Frame Cooling™ improves heat dissipation and power handling. The result is a compact, installation-ready bass solution designed to deliver impressive output, accuracy and sound quality at moderate power levels.
