Low-Profile Design
Because today’s compact cars offer less space, the JBL Club Subwoofers are designed to fit into small enclosures. They’re slim, sleek, stylish, and don’t sacrifice on sound.

Harman-Proprietary SSITM (Selectable Smart Impedance)
Unlike most dual-voice coil woofers, which provide either 1 or 4 ohms or 2 or 8 ohms, the JBL Club Subwoofers allow the listener to 2-ohm and 4-ohm at the flip of a switch, providing the two most often used impedances from a single woofer. This allows the system designer unparalleled flexibility in extracting every last watt from your amplifier without compromising stability and thermal safety margins.

Frequency Response As Low as to 27Hz
Your audio is filled with delicious sounds. Unfortunately, you’re not always hearing them all. With lows that dig down into the depths of 27Hz, you’ll hear the low-end frequencies you’ve been missing.

OEM-Level Reliability Testing
JBL tests every speaker design to the same rigid specifications as the automakers, subjecting them to extreme conditions that would break lesser speakers. We freeze them, bake them, shake them, blast them with ultraviolet light and drive them at full power for days to make sure your audio investment lasts for years.

Description
This boom is made for all shapes and sizes
JBL latest Club subwoofers offer incredible installation flexibility. Their low-profile design allows them to fit perfectly into even the most shallow of enclosures — great for today’s compact cars. Polypropylene woofer cones deliver exceptional bass response at frequencies as low as 27Hz. But what makes these subs really stand out is their Harman-proprietary SSITM (Selectable Smart Impedance), which allows the subwoofer to present the amplifier with either a 2 or 4 ohm load at the flip of a switch.

Product Q&A
Recomended boxsize, closed and vented ?
Im getting a custom box specifically for a 2000 chevy silverado extended cab. It is sealed and downfiring. Would this be ok?
Does the 0.75 cubic feet requirement on sealed enclosures take into account the amount of volume displaced (consumed) by the sub? If not, how much should one add to the 0.75 cubic feet value to accommodate the sub?
How much airspace foes these subs need?
HOW MUCH DOES THE WS1200 WEIGH?
Will this speaker mount in box fitted behind seat of 04 Escalade EXT w/out speaker touching seat
Whats the minimum airspace required for maximum performance
Would two Club WS1200's safely run on a 300 rms amp?
Can the jbl club ws1200 sub fit in a sub box with a mounting depth bigger than 3-5/16”. If so how would u mount it?
is there a amp that you would recommend to use with two of these?
what should my diamiter of the hole for the box be with this 12 inch sub
how many watts
does this fit a 2011 Chevy Malibu? and is it louder then the stock speakers?
I don't know a ton about car speakers and such, so cut me a little slack here. Does this sub go in the rear deck of the car or in the trunk?? If this goes in the trunk, where can find a sub that goes in the rear deck? Thanks!
What's the usable excursion in inches on the WS1000 and WS1200?
Would it be possible to put the ws1200 in a 0.35 cubic feet enclosure if it has a passive radiator? I really like this speaker and an enclosure over 0.35 cubic feet wouldn't be possible so any help to make this happen would be much appreciated.
I have 3 of the 12 shallow speakers running on 1 OHM what size of amplifier do I need for all 3
