• Ported Enclosure: The ported design enhances low-frequency response and extension.
• Black Texture-Coated Finish: The enclosure has a durable, aesthetically pleasing finish.
• 600W RMS Amplifier: The built-in amplifier provides ample power for the drivers.
• Signal Processing: The system includes a comprehensive suite of signal processing features for optimal performance and room correction.
• D.A.R.O.: The 18-band Digital Automatic Room Optimization system helps to minimize room acoustics issues.
• Two-way Crossover: A true two-way crossover with high-pass outputs allows for seamless integration with other speakers.
• Easy-to-use Interface: The system features an LCD display and menu-driven interface for easy setup and control. 
• Floating Cone Attach Method (FCAM™): This patented JL Audio technology ensures proper surround geometry and excursion control for better sound quality. 
• DMA (Dynamic Motor Analysis): This technology analyzes the speaker's dynamic behavior under real power conditions, providing a more accurate model than traditional methods.
