In-Wall Subwoofer System with Dual 13.5-inch Subwoofer Drivers, 2000 watts

The same minds that engineered JL Audio's reference-grade Fathom® and Gotham® powered subwoofers have created an amazing in-wall subwoofer solution, centered on a pair of purpose-engineered, thin-line drivers with patented technology.

Housing these exotic drivers are two critically engineered enclosures with a unique floating mount design to minimize wall excitation. The enclosures feature extensive architectural features aimed at improving rigidity while keeping a very low profile and minimal wall thickness.

A paintable, fine steel-mesh grille, also designed to control vibration, is included for each enclosure in the system.

The IWS System Two is driven by a rack-mountable, purpose-tuned amplifier, capable of delivering up to 2 kW of clean power, and armed with serious processing features, including our acclaimed Automatic Room Optimization system.

There is no need to lower your expectations when selecting this remarkable in-wall solution... it's a real Fathom®.

The IWS System Two is available to fit a variety of 2" x 4" and 2" x 6" wall studs. Consult your Authorized JL Audio Dealer for specific application information.

Enclosure Finish: Flat Black (hidden from view when installed)

Grille finish: Primer White (paintable)

Enclosure Construction: CNC-Cut Birch Plywood

Technology
Automatic Room Optimization (A.R.O)

JL Audio's exclusive A.R.O. technology is designed to easily and automatically optimize a subwoofer's in-room response. Taking just a few minutes to accomplish, this innovative feature delivers a superb low-frequency listening experience, no matter where the subwoofer is placed.

Dynamic Motor Analysis - DMA Optimized Motor

JL Audio's proprietary Dynamic Motor Analysis system is a powerful suite of FEA-based modeling systems, first developed by JL Audio in 1997 and refined over the years to scientifically address the issue of speaker motor linearity. This leads to vastly reduced distortion and faithfully reproduced transients... or put simply: tight, clean, articulate bass.

Floating Cone Attach Method - FCAM™ (U.S. Patent #6,501,844)

This assembly technique, conceived by JL Audio, ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment.

Concentric Tube Suspension

Our Concentric Tube Suspension™ technology delivers unprecedented excursion in a low-profile woofer.

High-Damping Feedback Circuitry (U.S. Patent #6,441,685)

This proprietary, discrete control circuit design allows our Class D switching amplifiers to maintin an excellent damping factor for improved transient behavior and fidelity.

Built in U.S.A. with Global Components

JL Audio's Miramar, Florida loudspeaker production facility is one of the most advanced in the world.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.
