Brand: JL Audio

#90 JL Audio Fathom f113: $2,799 Discontinued eBay

Same family: the JL Audio Fathom f110 (smaller subwoofer, rated 3/5), the JL Audio Fathom f112v2 (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, estimated 3.9/5) and the JL Audio Fathom f212v2 (larger subwoofer, ranked higher, estimated 4.3/5).

Pros: A sealed 13.5 inch subwoofer with tight, strong bass for music and movies in a heavy, solid cabinet, now discontinued but worth buying used. Independent CEA-2010 testing records 104.3 dB at 20 Hz and 118.9 dB through 40-80 Hz. The sealed enclosure with 13.5” (343mm) driver delivers substantial upper-bass output for movie effects and music.

Cons: Deep-bass output is more limited than the strong 40-80 Hz result suggests, so it is not the right choice when the lowest movie effects are the priority. The 501.6H x 419.1W x 488.9D mm cabinet and 59.0 kg mass still require deliberate placement and calibration. Discontinued.
