The 10\" sibling to the Stage 122, the Stage 102 brings the same JBL-voiced sonic character and polypropylene cone construction to a more compact footprint — ideal for builds where a 12\" won't fit but you still want proven JBL Stage Series bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stage 102 is built around a \u003cstrong\u003epolypropylene cone\u003c\/strong\u003e — lightweight and rigid for accurate, low-distortion bass reproduction with frequency response reaching down to 35Hz. The \u003cstrong\u003ehi-roll rubber surround\u003c\/strong\u003e maximizes cone excursion for deep, punchy bass while maintaining long-term durability in demanding in-car environments. The \u003cstrong\u003e38.8mm voice coil\u003c\/strong\u003e handles the 225W RMS thermal load efficiently, and the single \u003cstrong\u003e4-ohm impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps wiring simple — connect directly to any mono amplifier rated at 4 ohms without worrying about DVC wiring configurations. Sensitivity reaches 89dB at 2.83V. Frequency response spans 35Hz to 200Hz, covering the full subwoofer range from deep sub-bass to upper bass punch. Each Stage 102 is \u003cstrong\u003eindividually voiced by JBL acoustic engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e to ensure consistent sonic character across the lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePair the Stage 102 with a mono amplifier rated 150–225W RMS at 4 ohms. The JBL Stage GT 50011 at 300W RMS (4 ohms) provides ample headroom — keep gain conservative to stay within the sub's 225W RMS rating. Use a ported enclosure tuned to 35–40Hz for maximum output, or a sealed enclosure for tighter, more accurate bass. The single 4-ohm impedance makes this one of the simplest subwoofers to wire and integrate into any system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose the JBL Stage 102?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndividually Voiced by JBL Acoustic Engineers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each unit is tuned to deliver consistent JBL signature bass character — not just spec-matched, but sonically validated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolypropylene Cone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight and rigid for accurate, low-distortion bass reproduction down to 35Hz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHi-Roll Rubber Surround:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maximizes cone excursion for deep, punchy bass while maintaining long-term durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e89dB Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Efficient design delivers strong bass output without taxing your amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e225W RMS \/ 900W Peak Power Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handles real-world amplifier power without distortion or thermal compression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle 4-Ohm Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simple, straightforward wiring — no DVC configurations to manage, connects directly to any 4-ohm mono amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e35Hz – 200Hz Frequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep sub-bass extension to upper bass punch — full subwoofer bandwidth coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 10\" Footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e JBL Stage Series engineering in a smaller package — ideal for builds where a 12\" won't fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAmplifier \u0026amp; Enclosure Recommendations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair the Stage 102 with a mono amplifier rated 150–225W RMS at 4 ohms.

For enclosures: a ported box tuned to 35–40Hz maximizes output for hip-hop, EDM, and bass-heavy music. A sealed enclosure delivers tighter, more accurate bass for rock, jazz, and everyday listening. Set your amplifier's low-pass crossover at 80Hz and subsonic filter at 30Hz for ported enclosures. Use 8 AWG or heavier speaker wire from amp to sub, and 4-gauge power and ground wire to your amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJBL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStage 102\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Handling (RMS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e225W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Handling (Peak)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e900W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity (@ 2.83V\/1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35Hz – 200Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 ohms (Single Voice Coil)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoice Coil Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38.8mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCone Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurround Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHi-Roll Rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.8 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What amplifier pairs best with the Stage 102?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A mono amplifier rated 150–225W RMS at 4 ohms is ideal. The JBL Stage GT 50011 at 300W RMS (4 ohms) works well — keep the gain conservative to stay within the sub's 225W RMS rating. Contact us at Trinity Car Audio for a specific amp recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does the Stage 102 compare to the Stage 122?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The Stage 102 is a 10\" sub at 225W RMS — more compact, ideal for builds where a 12\" won't fit. The Stage 122 is a 12\" sub at 250W RMS for more cone area, slightly deeper bass extension (34Hz vs 35Hz), and a touch more output. Both share the same JBL-voiced sonic character, polypropylene cone, and single 4-ohm impedance. Choose based on available enclosure space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the Stage 102 a single or dual voice coil subwoofer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The Stage 102 is a single voice coil (SVC) subwoofer at 4 ohms. This makes wiring simple and straightforward — connect directly to any 4-ohm mono amplifier. If you need impedance flexibility, consider the JBL Club 102 with SSI™ selectable impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What enclosure type should I use with the Stage 102?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A ported enclosure tuned to 35–40Hz maximizes output for bass-heavy music. A sealed enclosure delivers tighter, more accurate bass for everyday listening.
