You won't find an off-the-shelf woofer in any JL Audio home subwoofer because designing and building superior subwoofer drivers lies at the core of our passion for audio.
The company has developed proprietary electromagnetic and suspension analysis systems and invested heavily in state-of-the-art testing and manufacturing systems. JL Audio's intense focus on research has borne subwoofer driver designs widely considered as reference standards for linear displacement and dynamic stability.
The Fathom subwoofers sacrifice nothing, thanks to the dynamic advantages of their proprietary JL Audio woofers.
These exceptional drivers allow for a true subwoofer passband and very high output, while keeping distortion well below audible thresholds. To extract full benefit from the excursion envelope of its woofer, each Fathom employs an exceptionally powerful switching amplifier with a large toroidal transformer and a patented circuit designed to enhance control and fidelity. Simply put, Fathom is the compact subwoofer system for those who enjoy demanding program material and won't settle for compromises.

JL Audio subwoofer systems incorporate a clever piece of technology called Automatic Room Optimization or (A.R.O.) for short. The A.R.O. system self-generates a series of calibration tones, measures the response at the listening position, analyzes the shape and magnitude of the primary response error and configures an appropriate filter to tame it. The system effectively allows for smooth, well-balanced sub-bass from a variety of locations that may have been less than ideal. Incredibly powerful and accurate bass that will enhance the performance of any audio or home-theater system.
