The Fathom f113v2 from JL Audio is the biggest single driver subwoofer you can get after the range topping Fathom f212v2. If your listening room is smaller than a cathedral hall, the f113v2 would fit in nicely. The f113v2,like the rest of the range are benchmark subwoofers that everyone should always compare against if you are shopping for one. Frequency range is a bone shaking 20Hz to 86Hz with an on board amp than will peak at 3000W when demanded. Its all black, almost 20″ square cube is an ominous presence in any sound room – music or movies. We tend to favor it in a home theater setting where it delivers the stupendous effect to the movie soundtrack. When watching Star Trek’s Into Darkness movie, the f113v2 made us feel like we were really in the Enterprise ship and feeling its eminent destruction. That is a truly amazing experience that very few subs out there can deliver. No wonder Absolute Sound consider it the benchmak of subwoofers. The v2 version you see here is undergone some nice improvements over the original f113. The more telling improvement is the increased in power from 2500W to 3000W. The internal audio circuitry is also routed to the back where it sits in a solid enclosure just on the back side of the massive heat sink plates. This helps reduce the signal path from the connection points on the rear panel to the circuit boards. The circuit boards and power supply are also improved with better grounding to reduce the noise level. JL audio also introduced the D.A.R.O – Digital Audio Room Optimization software in the v2 where it makes setting up a lot easier and with better audio performance that matches the room it is placed in.
Cosmetically, the subwoofer is in good condition. Some scuff marks/polishing swirl marks here and there from being used as a DEMO but nothing major. We have the original box and will ship freight with the sub strapped on a pallet. Warranty to be arranged post sales. Store pickup welcome.
