Why Choose This Product?
The Jester combines high power handling with detailed electrical parameters and specific ported-enclosure guidance. That information helps you plan a bass system around the subwoofer’s needs instead of choosing an enclosure by guesswork.
In a properly designed ported installation, it is intended to deliver extended, controlled bass with the potential to fill large spaces when matched with the right amplifier and enclosure.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Plan for the 16.85-inch mounting depth and the recommended 4.75–5.5 cu ft ported enclosure. The stated port area is 14–16 in² per cubic foot, with tuning between 28 and 36 Hz.
This subwoofer is not recommended for sealed enclosures. Match the dual 2 Ω voice coils to your amplifier’s supported impedance, and provide suitable ventilation for the 3,000 W RMS application.
