JL Audio JLA-010-03082-00 M6 8" Marine Subwoofer - Titanium Sport Grille
Compact marine bass reproduction with LED illumination and premium titanium styling — M6 8" subwoofer delivers high-output low-frequency performance with Transflective™ lighting in space-efficient format for Australian offshore conditions.
Product Overview
The JL Audio M6 8" marine subwoofer with titanium sport grille delivers reference-grade bass reproduction with integrated Transflective™ LED lighting in a corrosion-resistant package for infinite baffle or enclosed installations. Engineered with injection-moulded mica-filled polypropylene cone and 14mm linear excursion capability, this marine subwoofer handles 200W RMS continuous power with 86.8 dB sensitivity. The compact 8" format provides space-efficient bass reinforcement ideal for smaller vessels, under-seat installations, and space-constrained applications requiring dedicated low-frequency output with sophisticated titanium sport aesthetics and vibrant LED illumination without sacrificing performance.
Features & Benefits
Compact 8" Format: Space-efficient design delivers substantial bass output in smaller footprint compared to 10" subwoofers, ideal for centre console boats, smaller cruisers, and installations where mounting space is limited including under-seat locations, small enclosures, or tight bulkhead mounting applications.
Dual-Configuration Versatility: Engineered for both infinite baffle (free-air) and enclosed (sealed/ported box) installations with optimized Thiele-Small parameters (Qts: 0.787, Vas: 15.29L), enabling flexible mounting options matching available space constraints in compact vessel configurations and space-limited installations.
200W RMS Power Handling: Robust thermal management and heavy-duty voice coil construction supports continuous 200W power with recommended amplifier range of 50-200W, enabling substantial bass output levels for compact format critical for smaller vessels and space-constrained installations requiring dedicated low-frequency reinforcement.
14mm Linear Excursion: Generous Xmax specification (14mm one-way) provides exceptional cone travel capability for 8" format, enabling high output levels without distortion critical for reproducing deep bass frequencies in demanding marine environments where space limitations require maximum excursion capability.
Premium Titanium Sport Grille: Sophisticated metallic titanium finish combines aggressive sport styling with corrosion-resistant construction, offering distinctive aesthetic presence ideal for luxury yachts, performance vessels, and premium recreational craft requiring upscale visual impact matching titanium M6 speaker and subwoofer installations.
Transflective™ LED Lighting System: Integrated multi-colour LED illumination with 10-14.4 VDC operation and 486mA current draw creates stunning visual effects during night cruising, dock parties, or offshore entertainment, enabling synchronized lighting effects across multi-zone marine audio systems matching M6 Sport speaker installations.
Mica-Filled Polypropylene Cone: Advanced injection-moulded cone material delivers exceptional rigidity, controlled damping characteristics, and superior moisture resistance compared to paper or treated fabric cones, ensuring consistent bass performance in high-humidity marine environments with temperature fluctuations and continuous vibration exposure.
Marine-Grade Corrosion Protection: Fully marinized construction with UV-resistant materials, sealed motor structures, and corrosion-resistant hardware provides reliable long-term performance in harsh saltwater environments including coastal cruising, offshore fishing, and tropical marine conditions with sustained exposure to spray and humidity.
Optimized Enclosure Specifications: Factory-engineered sealed and ported enclosure recommendations eliminate guesswork, with sealed IB configuration (56.6L, F3: 51.78 Hz) for space-efficient output or ported configuration (42.5L, F3: 31.26 Hz, tuned to 37 Hz) for extended bass response in compact enclosures.
Easy LED Integration: Flying lead with 4-conductor 20 AWG wire simplifies LED wiring integration with compatible marine head units or dedicated LED controllers, enabling colour customization, brightness adjustment, and synchronized lighting effects across multi-zone marine audio systems.

Caution: Verify mounting depth clearance (127mm minimum) and mounting hole diameter (187mm) before installation. Subwoofer requires dedicated amplifier power—do NOT connect to head unit speaker outputs. Sport models require LED wiring connection for lighting functionality. Ensure marine electrical system can support 486mA LED current draw. Infinite baffle installations require adequate backside volume. Enclosed installations require properly constructed sealed or ported enclosures matching JL Audio specifications. 8" format provides compact solution with less bass extension than 10" models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the advantage of 8" subwoofers over 10" models?
The 8" format provides space-efficient bass reinforcement ideal for smaller vessels, under-seat installations, and space-constrained applications. While 10" models offer deeper bass extension and higher output, 8" subwoofers require less mounting space and smaller enclosure volumes, making them perfect for compact installations.
Does this subwoofer come as a pair or individually?
This is sold as a SINGLE subwoofer. Marine subwoofers are typically sold individually as many installations use one centrally-located unit. Order multiple units for dual-subwoofer configurations in larger vessels or high-output systems.
How do I connect the LED lighting on this subwoofer?
Connect the flying lead with 4-conductor 20 AWG wire to compatible marine head units with LED control outputs or dedicated LED controllers. Wire colour coding enables multi-colour illumination and brightness adjustment. Ensure electrical system can support 486mA current draw per subwoofer.
What size enclosure is required for this 8" subwoofer?
For sealed IB configuration: 56.6L net internal volume (406mm W x 406mm H x 464mm D external). For ported configuration: 42.5L with 102mm diameter port (343mm length), tuned to 37 Hz (406mm W x 406mm H x 384mm D external). See complete specifications in documentation.
What's the difference between infinite baffle and enclosed configurations?
Infinite baffle (free-air) mounts the subwoofer directly to a bulkhead or panel without an enclosure, requiring adequate backside airspace. Enclosed configurations use sealed or ported boxes with specific internal volumes. IB provides simpler installation, while enclosed offers deeper bass extension and more control over response characteristics.
