JL Audio JLA-010-03072-00 M3 10" Marine Subwoofer - White Sport Grille

Premium marine bass reproduction with modern styling — infinite baffle design delivers deep, powerful low-frequency extension for Australian offshore conditions.

Product Overview

The JL Audio M3 10" marine subwoofer with white sport grille delivers professional-grade bass performance in a versatile infinite baffle design built for harsh saltwater environments. Engineered with injection-moulded mica-filled polypropylene cone and 10.7mm linear excursion capability, this subwoofer handles 175W RMS continuous power with 87.23 dB sensitivity and 41.84 Hz free-air resonance. The infinite baffle configuration allows flexible mounting in sealed enclosures, under-deck installations, or custom fibreglass applications without requiring ported box construction. The white sport grille provides UV-resistant protection with a contemporary aesthetic and includes JL Audio logo badges, while stainless steel mounting hardware ensures long-term reliability in Australian coastal conditions. Ideal for centre consoles, bowriders, and performance vessels requiring powerful bass extension with modern styling without RGB lighting complexity or dedicated subwoofer box space.

Features & Benefits

Infinite Baffle Design: Versatile mounting configuration allows installation in sealed enclosures, under-deck cavities, or custom fibreglass applications without requiring ported enclosure construction, maximizing installation flexibility in space-constrained marine environments.

High Power Handling: 175W RMS continuous rating with 50-175W recommended amplifier power delivers substantial bass output capable of overcoming engine noise, wind, and water splash in open-cockpit offshore applications.

Extended Linear Excursion: 10.7mm one-way linear excursion (Xmax) enables deep bass reproduction without distortion, maintaining clean output during high-volume operation or demanding musical passages with extended low-frequency content.

Corrosion-Resistant Marine Construction: Mica-filled polypropylene cone with sealed motor assembly and stainless steel mounting hardware withstands constant saltwater exposure, UV radiation, and temperature extremes common in Australian coastal waters and offshore environments.

White Sport Grille Design: Modern white sport grille with 40mm protrusion provides UV-resistant protection while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic perfect for modern boat styling, performance watercraft, or updated vessel refits. Includes JL Audio logo badges for branded appearance.

Optimized Thiele-Small Parameters: Carefully engineered Qts of 0.754 and Vas of 36.53L deliver optimal sealed enclosure performance with 42.9 Hz F3 response in recommended 56.6L cabinet, providing deep bass extension suitable for marine audio applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this subwoofer be mounted without an enclosure?

Yes, this infinite baffle design allows free-air mounting in sealed under-deck cavities or fibreglass enclosures, though JL Audio recommends 56.6L sealed enclosure for optimal performance with 42.9 Hz F3 response.

How much amplifier power do I need for this subwoofer?

JL Audio recommends 50-175W RMS with the 175W continuous rating providing optimal performance around 100-150W from a quality marine monoblock amplifier.

Does this white sport grille subwoofer have LED lighting?

No, this model (JLA-010-03072-00) does not include LED lighting. For RGB LED functionality, select model JLA-010-03071-00 (grey sport with LED).

Will one 10" subwoofer provide adequate bass for my boat?

For vessels up to 7.5m, one 10" M3 subwoofer typically provides sufficient bass extension. Larger vessels (8m+) or extreme SPL applications may benefit from dual subwoofer installations.

What mounting depth clearance is required behind the subwoofer?

You'll need 127mm clearance behind the mounting surface, with the subwoofer requiring 168mm total depth including the 40mm frontal grille protrusion for sport models.
