Purpose-built for subwoofer applications, the RD1500/1 monoblock amplifier delivers 1500 watts of jaw-dropping bass output into 1 OR 2 ohms (14.4V, 1% THD). At the heart of this ultra-sleek and compact power plant is JL Audioās exclusive NexDā¢ Class D technology, permitting high power output with exceptional efficiency and low distortion.
For your convenience, all of the RD1500/1ās controls are located on top of the amplifier, beneath a protective cover, with all connections found along one side of its chassis. Signal processing features include a 12 dB / octave low-pass filter, with continuously variable frequency selection from 50-500 Hz, and a variable bass boost EQ. Dual-range, differential-balance inputs are also onboard, capable of accepting most input voltage levels. Automatic turn-on capability (via signal sensing or DC-offset sensing) is standard, along with a set of preamp outputs so you can easily pass signals to another amplifier.
The RD1500/1 is also equipped with an onboard LED-clipping indicator. This all-new, innovative feature lets you easily set your amplifierās input sensitivity setting, quickly and accurately, with no special equipment needed. The RD1500/1 features a durable, black powder-coated finish and a top-mounted, dual-color LED light strip that reports the overall status and condition. Control of the subwoofer level from the driverās seat is easily accomplished with the addition of the optional RBC-1 remote level control (sold separately).

JL Audio 12W7AE-3:Ā 12-inch (300 mm) Subwoofer Driver 3 Ī©
10th Anniversary Edition - W7 12-inch Subwoofer Driver (1000 W, 3 Ī©)
The 12W7AE brings serious performance to the table by combining the breakthrough of the long-excursion W7 design with a large 12-inch bore. It has been called "addictive," "seductive" and "the new subwoofer reference", by some of the world's toughest reviewers, and has earned these accolades by delivering nearly limitless dynamics, exceptional balance and world-class sound quality.
This potent driver is best used with amplifier power in the 400W - 1000W range and is optimized to operate in a 1.375 cu. ft. (38.9 l) sealed enclosure, or a 1.75 cu. ft. (49.6 l) ported enclosure. Detailed enclosure recommendations can be found in the "Specifications" tab.
W7AE (Anniversary Edition) Subwoofers celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the launch of the W7 subwoofers. Functionally, they are identical to the original W7's, but are they distinguished by the following cosmetic differences:
Satin-Black Powdercoated Baskets
Bright Anodized Surround Clamp Ring
Anniversary Edition Cone Badge
Anniversary Edition Terminal Label
