E-Sub e110

JL Audio · E-Sub Series

A compact sealed 10-inch subwoofer with 1,200 watts behind it: deep, clean bass and a true two-way crossover for seamless music integration.

Price is for one subwoofer. Black Ash and Gloss Black are priced separately.

The e110 pairs a deep-architecture 10-inch JL Audio driver, with a DMA-optimized motor for long, linear excursion, with a 1,200-watt proprietary switching amplifier in a sealed cabinet barely over 14 inches tall. Its true two-way crossover sets the low-pass for the sub and offers high-pass line outputs, so the deepest bass can be taken off your main speakers. Each E-Sub is built and individually tested in JL Audio's U.S. factory.

Reviewers describe the e110 as smooth and balanced, with clean, deep bass that seems out of proportion to the box; it reaches 23 Hz at −3 dB. It's an easy match for small standmount speakers and for stereo systems where the sub should be felt more than heard. It has no built-in room correction, so setup relies on placement and its phase, crossover and polarity controls. For larger rooms or more movie output, the e112 has the same feature set with a 12-inch driver.

Key technologies

  • Long-excursion driver. A deep-architecture JL Audio driver with a DMA-optimized motor for linear excursion at high output.
  • Proprietary switching amplifier. Efficient and compact, so the cabinet stays small for the output.
  • True two-way crossover. High-pass line outputs can take the deepest bass off your main speakers for a cleaner hand-off.
  • Speaker-level inputs. Adds an E-Sub to amplifiers and receivers that have no line-level sub output.
  • Sealed cabinet. Built and individually tested in JL Audio's U.S. factory.

Finishes

  • Black Ash black ash vinyl veneer
  • Gloss Black high-gloss black

Supplied with a grille. Photos show the Black Ash finish.
