Powered subwoofers · Flexible integration
E-Sub offers sealed, powered subwoofer designs for home theater and dedicated music systems. Its adjustable crossover and integration controls help tailor the transition between the subwoofer and your main speakers.

Compact powered subwoofers
Compact, sealed powered subwoofers for music systems, smaller media rooms, and spaces where cabinet size matters. Dominion offers a practical way to add low-frequency support without a large enclosure.
Choose around the room’s volume and desired listening level, not cabinet size alone. We’ll help assess the available space and output needs.

Concealed bass · Planned installations
Explore Fathom IWS and IWSv2 architectural systems, plus Custom Theater subwoofers designed for integration into a dedicated room. These systems pair purpose-built enclosures with the appropriate external amplification.
Construction depth, framing, enclosure clearance, amplifier location, wiring, and service access must be checked for the exact system. IWSv2 system shown.

Indoor & outdoor architectural bass
Pavilion thin-line subwoofers offer a discreet in-wall or in-ceiling approach for compatible indoor and outdoor audio installations. Shallow mounting depth and paintable grille options help them blend into the space.
These installation subwoofers need suitable amplification and a correctly planned mounting location. We’ll confirm construction and environmental suitability.
Discuss this range ↗Integration makes the difference
A subwoofer should support the system, from the lowest notes to the transition into your main speakers. Placement, crossover settings, level, phase, and the room all affect the result. We’ll help plan them together.
Available floor space, seating, walls, and open doorways influence bass response. We’ll consider practical placement options before fine-tuning the system.
Coordinate the crossover, phase, level, and signal path with your main speakers and amplifier. Where appropriate, discuss a dedicated crossover such as JL Audio’s CR-1.
Multiple subwoofers can help distribute bass more evenly across seats when placement and setup are coordinated. The room, listening goals, and available locations guide the choice.
D.A.R.O. is available on selected JL Audio systems. We’ll confirm the chosen model’s tools and coordinate subwoofer setup with any bass management or room correction in your processor.
Audio Exchange · Richmond
Send the room dimensions, photos, speaker and amplifier models, and where a subwoofer could go. Let us know whether music, movies, or both are the priority.
We’ll discuss suitable families, size, finish, connections, and whether a freestanding or concealed solution fits the project. Contact the showroom for a tailored quote.
Confirm placement, wiring, construction details, and the scope of installation and calibration before ordering. We’ll also confirm current availability and any demonstration options.
Yes. A carefully integrated subwoofer can extend low-frequency reproduction and support your main speakers. The crossover and signal path need to suit your amplifier and speakers. Tell us which equipment you use so we can plan the connection and setup.
We start with room volume, placement, listening levels, and your main speakers. Dominion prioritizes a compact enclosure; E-Sub offers flexible integration for music and theater; Fathom v2 adds D.A.R.O. and a wider premium range; Gotham v2 is the flagship dual-driver design. The right model depends on the complete system.
No. Features vary by family and model. Fathom v2, Gotham v2, and selected installed systems offer D.A.R.O.; it should not be assumed on Dominion, E-Sub, or every architectural product. We’ll confirm the exact model and any required microphone or accessories, then coordinate setup with the rest of the system.
JL Audio offers purpose-designed architectural and custom-installation systems. The correct enclosure, amplifier, construction depth, framing, wiring, and access all need to be specified together. We’ll check the exact system’s approved mounting options and the room’s construction before recommending it.
It depends on the room and listening goals. A larger subwoofer may offer useful output and extension, while multiple carefully placed subwoofers can help manage differences between seats. We’ll assess placement, headroom, and bass management together.
Contact Audio Exchange in Richmond for JL Audio pricing, availability, and system advice. We’ll confirm the model, finish, any demonstration options, and installation or calibration needs before you order. JL Audio is handled through our showroom rather than online checkout.
