{"product_id":"jbl-stage102-10-car-audio-subwoofer","title":"JBL STAGE102 10\" Car Audio Subwoofer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe JBL STAGE102 is a 10-inch passive car audio subwoofer designed to add dedicated low-frequency output to an aftermarket sound system. It is intended for shoppers building a bass upgrade around a separate amplifier and enclosure. With a 4-ohm nominal impedance and 225-watt RMS power handling, it provides a practical match for appropriately rated mono or multi-channel amplifier systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis subwoofer is suited to drivers who want more weight and impact from kick drums, bass guitar, electronic music, and movie soundtracks than typical full-range car speakers can provide. Its rated frequency response is 35Hz to 200Hz, allowing it to cover the low-bass range while a crossover directs higher frequencies to the main speakers. The final bass character depends on the enclosure, amplifier setup, vehicle cabin, and crossover settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lightweight, stiff polypropylene cone is paired with a high-roll rubber surround for controlled movement and long-term durability in a vehicle environment. JBL rates the Stage 102 at 89dB sensitivity at 2.83V\/1m, with a 1.5-inch voice coil and 900-watt peak power handling. These elements support bass reproduction in systems designed around moderate amplifier power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STAGE102 can be used in sealed or vented enclosures, giving installers flexibility when balancing cargo-space needs and bass preferences. JBL specifies a 1.23-cubic-foot sealed enclosure for a compact, controlled setup. Its recommended vented alignment uses a 1.0-cubic-foot enclosure tuned to 30Hz for greater efficiency in the upper-bass region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a component subwoofer, the STAGE102 is not a self-powered enclosure and requires an external amplifier, speaker wire, and a suitable enclosure. It can serve as the low-frequency foundation of a first aftermarket audio system or as a straightforward replacement for an existing 10-inch subwoofer. A foam mounting gasket is included to help create a sealed installation between the driver frame and enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10-Inch Subwoofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds dedicated bass capability to a car audio system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e225W RMS Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports amplifier matching for sustained listening levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-Ohm Nominal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with compatible 4-ohm amplifier channels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolypropylene Cone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a lightweight, stiff diaphragm for bass reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Roll Rubber Surround:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports cone movement and durable vehicle use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealed Or Vented Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows enclosure selection based on space and output goals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STAGE102 uses a polypropylene cone and rubber surround in a 10-inch frame with a 1.5-inch voice coil. Its outer diameter is 10 inches, while its mounting depth is 4-7\/16 inches. JBL includes a foam gasket, two two-color brand stickers, and an owner’s manual; a protective grille is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the subwoofer from the outside of a properly built enclosure and use the included gasket to help make the frame-to-box connection airtight. The terminals accept bare or tinned wire, with JBL recommending 14 AWG to 8 AWG speaker wire depending on run length; heavier wire is preferred for runs over 6 feet. Use an amplifier compatible with a 4-ohm load and set the system crossover and gain carefully for the enclosure and vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JBL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45632407797830,"sku":"STAGE102","price":114.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/71tl8dh66JL.jpg?v=1784399935","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/jbl-stage102-10-car-audio-subwoofer","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
