JL Audio E-Sub e110 – 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer, Gloss Black or Ash Black

This Garmin link is for the JL Audio E-Sub e110-GLOSS, part number 010-03809-00. It is the 10-inch, high-gloss black model, featuring a 1,200-watt amplifier and a compact sealed enclosure.

Product Description

Powerful bass. Precise control. Compact design.

The JL Audio E-Sub e110 delivers deep, articulate bass from a compact powered subwoofer designed for high-performance stereo systems and home theaters. Combining a purpose-built 10-inch long-excursion driver with a 1,200-watt amplifier, the e110 provides substantial low-frequency capability without requiring the space of a larger subwoofer.

Its sealed enclosure, advanced driver engineering and studio-grade analog signal processing make it particularly versatile. Whether complementing bookshelf speakers in a dedicated listening room or providing low-frequency effects in a premium media room, the e110 offers extensive controls for precise system integration.

Finished in high-gloss black, it combines understated styling with the performance and installation flexibility expected from JL Audio.

Advanced 10-Inch Long-Excursion Driver

The E-Sub e110 features a specially engineered 10-inch driver designed to maintain control throughout its extended excursion range.

JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA) technology optimizes the driver's motor behavior under real operating conditions, helping minimize distortion and maintain consistent output. The driver's deep motor structure also allows generous spacing between its suspension elements, improving mechanical stability during demanding bass passages.

A Vented Reinforcement Collar strengthens the junction between the cone, spider and voice coil while directing cooling airflow toward the voice coil. JL Audio's Floating Cone Attach Method (FCAM) maintains accurate surround geometry and dynamic voice coil alignment.

Together, these technologies help the e110 reproduce low frequencies with the definition required for music and the dynamic capability demanded by movie soundtracks.

1,200-Watt Amplification

The e110's integrated switching amplifier delivers 1,200 watts RMS of short-term power. Its regulated switching power supply provides the energy needed to drive the long-excursion woofer while maintaining a compact amplifier design.

The sealed enclosure and powerful amplifier work together to deliver an anechoic frequency response of 25–116Hz (±1.5dB), with low-frequency extension reaching 18Hz at −10dB.

This combination allows the e110 to add convincing weight to orchestral recordings, electronic music and cinematic effects while maintaining the control required for critical two-channel listening.

True Two-Way Analog Crossover

The e110 incorporates an adjustable analog crossover designed to simplify integration with a wide range of loudspeakers and amplifiers.

Its 24dB-per-octave Linkwitz-Riley crossover operates from 25Hz to 130Hz. Unlike subwoofers that provide only a low-pass filter, the e110 also offers high-pass-filtered line outputs, allowing low-frequency content to be redirected away from the main speakers when used with a compatible external amplifier.

This arrangement can reduce the bass demands placed on smaller loudspeakers while allowing the subwoofer to handle the lowest frequencies.

For home theater installations with an AV processor handling bass management, the e110's crossover can be defeated and its line outputs configured for pass-through operation.

Flexible Connectivity and Bass Integration

Stereo RCA inputs and dedicated speaker-level inputs allow the e110 to connect to compatible stereo amplifiers, preamplifiers and home theater processors.

Its high-pass or pass-through RCA outputs provide additional flexibility for two-channel systems and installations using multiple subwoofers.

Variable phase adjustment from 0° to 280°, switchable polarity and a continuously adjustable level control allow the e110's output to be matched to the main loudspeakers and listening environment.

A selectable input-grounding switch can also help address ground-related noise when integrating the subwoofer with other audio components.

Compact Sealed Enclosure

Measuring approximately 14.2 inches tall and 13.5 inches wide, the e110 provides substantial bass capability in a cabinet that fits comfortably into a variety of listening environments.

Its sealed construction and high-gloss black finish make it suitable for dedicated stereo rooms, living spaces and professionally designed media rooms. A removable fabric grille provides a discreet appearance, while top-mounted controls allow convenient access to crossover, level and phase adjustments.

An integrated control-panel cover protects the settings during everyday use, and automatic signal-sensing power operation adds convenience.
