Product Overview
Bring JBL-voiced bass to a system with room for a 10-inch subwoofer. The JBL Stage 102 car subwoofer handles 225W RMS and uses a single 4-ohm voice coil for straightforward amplifier matching.
Its polypropylene cone and Hi-Roll rubber surround support bass response from 35Hz to 200Hz. JBL acoustic engineers individually voice each unit for consistent Stage Series sound.
Key Features & Benefits
- 225W RMS power handling: Match it with an amplifier rated for the subwoofer’s 4-ohm load.
- 10-inch size: Consider it when a 12-inch subwoofer won’t fit your planned enclosure space.
- Polypropylene cone: The lightweight, rigid cone supports accurate bass reproduction.
- Hi-Roll rubber surround: It allows cone excursion for deep, punchy bass.
- Single 4-ohm voice coil: The SVC design avoids dual-voice-coil wiring configurations.
- 89dB sensitivity: The stated sensitivity is measured at 2.83V/1m.

Why Choose This Product?
The Stage 102 offers JBL Stage Series bass in a more compact 10-inch format. Its 35Hz–200Hz frequency response covers deep sub-bass through upper bass, while the single 4-ohm impedance keeps amplifier matching simple.
Choose an enclosure to suit your listening priorities: a ported enclosure tuned to 35–40Hz is recommended for maximum output, while a sealed enclosure is suggested for tighter, more accurate bass.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Pair the Stage 102 with a mono amplifier rated at 150–225W RMS at 4 ohms. The JBL Stage GT 50011 is rated at 300W RMS at 4 ohms; keep its gain conservative to stay within the subwoofer’s 225W RMS rating.
The supplied wiring guidance calls for 8 AWG or heavier speaker wire from the amplifier to the subwoofer, and 4-gauge power and ground wire to the amplifier. For a ported enclosure, set the low-pass crossover at 80Hz and the subsonic filter at 30Hz. Check enclosure space and installation requirements before purchase.

Loading amplifier suggestions…
Suggestions use 75–125% of the subwoofer’s RMS rating at the wiring load shown. Check wiring, enclosure needs, electrical capacity and installation space. Set gain and filters correctly to avoid overpowering the subwoofer. Buying more than one subwoofer changes the match.
