Description
JL Audio JLA-010-03487-00 M6 10" Marine Subwoofer - White Classic Grille
Premium marine bass reproduction with timeless styling — M6 10" subwoofer delivers extreme low-frequency output with traditional aesthetics and versatile mounting for Australian offshore conditions.
Product Overview
The JL Audio M6 10" marine subwoofer with white classic grille delivers reference-grade bass reproduction in a corrosion-resistant package with traditional marine styling for infinite baffle or enclosed installations. Engineered with injection-moulded mica-filled polypropylene cone and 13mm linear excursion capability, this marine subwoofer handles 250W RMS continuous power with dual sensitivity ratings (86.1 dB for infinite baffle, 86.4 dB for enclosed configurations). The 10" format provides deep bass extension and high output capability for large vessels, multi-zone systems, and high-performance marine audio installations requiring dedicated low-frequency reinforcement with timeless white classic aesthetics ideal for fishing boats, recreational vessels, and traditional cruiser installations.
Features & Benefits
Dual-Configuration Versatility: Engineered for both infinite baffle (free-air) and enclosed (sealed/ported box) installations with optimized Thiele-Small parameters (IB: Qts 0.840, W: Qts 0.496), enabling flexible mounting options including under-seat locations, bulkhead installations, or custom enclosures matching available space constraints in diverse vessel configurations.
250W RMS Power Handling: Robust thermal management and heavy-duty voice coil construction supports continuous 250W power with recommended amplifier range of 75-250W, enabling extreme bass output levels critical for large vessels, outdoor marine environments, and competition-grade installations requiring chest-thumping low-frequency impact.
13mm Linear Excursion: Generous Xmax specification (13mm one-way) provides exceptional cone travel capability enabling high output levels without distortion, critical for reproducing deep bass frequencies in demanding marine environments where wind, engine noise, and water splash require substantial acoustic output for clarity.
Traditional White Classic Grille: Timeless white finish with classic styling provides proven marine aesthetics compatible with traditional vessel interiors, fishing boat configurations, and recreational craft where conventional appearance complements reliable marine audio performance without modern LED embellishments or sport styling aggression.
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 IB sealed configuration (70.8L, F3: 41.54 Hz) for maximum output or W sealed configuration (21.2L, F3: 50.08 Hz) for space-constrained installations, plus ported options achieving F3 down to 25.09 Hz for extreme bass extension.
Low-Frequency Extension: Dual sensitivity ratings (86.1 dB IB, 86.4 dB W) and optimized parameters enable bass reproduction down to 25-31 Hz in ported configurations or 41-50 Hz in sealed enclosures, providing deep sub-bass impact approaching dedicated home theater subwoofer performance in marine environments.
Simplified Installation: Classic grille design without LED components reduces installation complexity and cost compared to Sport models, eliminating additional wiring requirements and LED current draw concerns while maintaining traditional white aesthetics and reference-grade bass performance ideal for straightforward upgrades or retrofit installations.
4-Ohm Nominal Impedance: Standard impedance rating ensures broad compatibility with marine amplifiers and multi-subwoofer configurations while maintaining stable load characteristics during extended operation in varying temperature conditions and demanding marine environments.

Caution: Verify mounting depth clearance (150mm minimum) and mounting hole diameter (225mm) before installation. Subwoofer requires dedicated amplifier power—do NOT connect to head unit speaker outputs. This Classic model does NOT include LED lighting functionality. Infinite baffle installations require adequate backside volume. Enclosed installations require properly constructed sealed or ported enclosures matching JL Audio specifications. For LED-equipped white sport subwoofer, see part number JLA-010-03085-00.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Classic and Sport grille models?
Classic models feature traditional white styling without LED lighting, offering simpler installation and lower cost. Sport models may include Transflective™ LED lighting with multi-colour illumination requiring additional wiring and current draw. Classic and Sport 10" models share identical mounting dimensions and audio specifications.
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.
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.
What size enclosure is required for this subwoofer?
For sealed enclosures: IB configuration requires 70.8L net internal volume, W configuration requires 21.2L. For ported enclosures: IB requires 70.8L with 102mm diameter port (305mm length), W requires 56.6L with 76mm port (283mm length). See complete specifications in documentation.
How much amplifier power do I need for this subwoofer?
JL Audio recommends 75-250W RMS with the 250W continuous rating providing optimal performance around 150-200W from a quality marine amplifier. Minimum 75W required for adequate output, while 250W enables maximum SPL capability for large vessel or competition installations.
