JL Audio Dominion Subwoofers Preview

Last year at CEDIA, JL Audio announced the E-series subwoofers. This year, at the 2014 CEDIA, they continued that trend with the d110 and d108 Dominion series subwoofers. These two subs rock 10" (d110) and 8" (d108) long-throw drivers. Contained in sealed boxes, the Dominion subs have massive amps - 500 watts for the d108, 750 watts for the d110. The cabinets come in either high gloss black or black ash (likely a vinyl wrap). Targeted at the budget conscious, the Dominion series subs cost $1099 (d110 Gloss Black), $999 (d110 Black Ash), $899 (d108 Gloss Black), and $799 (d108 Black Ash). The tags at CEDIA had the d110 price for gloss less than the black ash but we're pretty sure that was a mistake. We've never seen a gloss finish that was less expensive than the non-gloss option.

Performance is par for the course for JL Audio. The d108 dips down to 29Hz -3dB while the d110 reaches 25Hz. The d108 measures 11.37  by 10 by 13.23 inches and 26.4 pounds and the d110 measures 13.4 by 12 by 15.86 inches and weighs 38.2 pounds. We imagine this is just large enough to get the driver and the amp in the box with not a lot of room to spare. We're particularly interested in how well these will perform in room as they are quite small but have very impressive specs for their price. Check out some of our pics from the show below.
