Pure Marine Bass Power – JL Audio M3-10IB-S-GW-i-4 Subwoofer
Introduction
The JL Audio M3-10IB-S-GW-i-4 10-inch marine subwoofer is built to bring deep, distortion-free bass to your boat’s sound system without the need for an enclosure. As part of JL Audio’s proven M3 Series, this model delivers impactful low frequencies, smart styling, and legendary durability, all in a design optimized for open-air, infinite baffle use. With its glossy white “Sport” grille and saltwater-rated construction, it’s the ideal upgrade for boaters who want to feel every beat while riding the waves.
Infinite Baffle Design for Easy Open-Air Installation
Unlike enclosed subwoofers, the M3-10IB-S-GW-i-4 is optimized for infinite baffle (free air) mounting, which means you can install it directly into your boat’s panel or bulkhead — no box required. This design makes it ideal for marine environments where space and air volume are limited, yet performance expectations remain high. You get tight, controlled bass response without sacrificing valuable storage or interior space.
Marine-Grade Materials for Saltwater and Sun
JL Audio has engineered the M3-10IB-S-GW-i-4 to handle life on the water. From its UV-resistant injection-molded polymer basket to its marine-tested motor assembly and synthetic fiber spider, every component is selected for long-term resistance to salt, spray, and sunlight. The gloss white Sport-style grille is not only durable but gives your boat a sleek, premium appearance while staying cool under the sun.
Strong, Efficient Output on Limited Power
Designed with marine systems in mind, the M3-10IB-S-GW-i-4 delivers powerful performance even with modest amplifier power. Its 4-ohm single voice coil ensures easy integration with most marine amps, and its 250 watts RMS power handling means it hits hard without distortion. Whether you're parked in the marina or flying across open water, this subwoofer delivers rich bass you can feel.
Clean, Stylish Sport Grille Design
The included Sport-style white grille is more than just eye candy. It’s crafted to withstand UV rays and corrosion while maintaining its sleek look season after season. Designed to complement JL Audio’s full line of M3 speakers, it ensures your system not only sounds amazing but looks polished and cohesive too.
Built Tough for Real Marine Duty
Like all JL Audio marine subwoofers, the M3-10IB-S-GW-i-4 is IP65-rated and marine-certified, assembled in the USA, and built for high humidity, vibration, salt exposure, and UV abuse. It’s a trusted solution for anyone who needs serious bass in a boat audio system that’s exposed to real-world marine conditions.
