JBL Club Series Shallow Subwoofer
JBL Club 102SL 10 Inch Shallow Subwoofer
A 10 inch subwoofer that needs only 3-1/4 inches of mounting depth, with a switch on the terminal cup that sets it to 2 or 4 ohms. The Club 102SL handles 350 watts RMS on an aluminum cone and fits the thin sealed boxes, behind-seat enclosures and door or floor panels a full-depth 10 cannot.
350W RMS
3-1/4" Mounting Depth
Sealed, Ported or Free-Air
2 or 4 Ohm Switch
One Coil, Two Loads
JBL's Selectable Smart Impedance (SSI) switch sits on the input terminal. Flip it to 2 ohms to get more power from a mono amplifier, or to 4 ohms to run a pair in parallel at 2 ohms. There are no jumpers to wire and no coil math. Turn the amplifier off before you change it. Power handling is the same 350 watts RMS and 1050 watts peak in either setting.
One woofer: 2 ohm setting on a 2 ohm stable mono amp, or 4 ohms if the amp is not 2 ohm stable.
Two woofers: both at 4 ohms, paralleled, for a 2 ohm load. Both at 2 ohms in parallel give 1 ohm.
Built Shallow
The cone is JBL's own aluminum design, made to hold its shape at full excursion so the woofer stays clean when pushed. It rides on a rubber surround in a steel basket with a vented motor that keeps the 2 inch voice coil cool at high output. Cutout is 9 inches, overall diameter 10-1/2 inches, and the flange sits 21/32 of an inch above the mounting surface. No grille is included.
JBL's Recommended Boxes
| Box | Net volume | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed | 0.53 cu ft (15 L) | Workable range 0.42 to 0.69 cu ft |
| Ported | 0.53 cu ft (15 L) | One 2.76" (70 mm) round port, 9.84" (250 mm) long, tuned to 43.4 Hz |
| Free-air | Infinite baffle | Power handling drops by half, to 175W RMS |
With a Qts of 1.22 at 2 ohms and 1.10 at 4 ohms, this is a high-Q woofer built for small spaces. In JBL's 0.53 cubic foot sealed box the standard formula puts system Q near 1.8 to 1.9 and resonance around 57 to 58 Hz, so expect punchy, full upper bass rather than deep, flat extension. The 4 ohm setting has the lower Qts and is the slightly tighter choice sealed. For more low end in the same space, JBL's ported box tuned to 43.4 Hz digs deeper.
