High-Output Compact Reference Subwoofer | Available at Trimira Audio
The JL Audio Fathom® f112v2 (F112v2-GLOSS-240V) delivers high-performance low-frequency reproduction in a comparatively compact cabinet, making it well suited to demanding two-channel systems, media rooms, and dedicated home cinemas.
Built around JL Audio's 12-inch W-Cone sub-bass driver, the f112v2 combines a long-excursion driver architecture with a powerful integrated amplifier, sealed cabinet construction, and D.A.R.O. (Digital Automatic Room Optimization).
At Trimira Audio, we recommend the f112v2 for listeners seeking substantial low-frequency authority and sophisticated room integration without stepping up to the larger f113v2 or dual-driver f212v2.
Key Features & Technological Innovations
Patented 12-Inch W-Cone Driver
The f112v2 uses a 12-inch (300 mm) W-Cone driver with JL Audio's long-excursion architecture, OverRoll surround geometry, and DMA-optimised motor structure.
The driver is engineered to maintain controlled motor behaviour during substantial excursion while providing the displacement required for powerful, accurate bass.
1800-Watt RMS Internal Amplifier
A dedicated 1800 W RMS continuous amplifier provides substantial power reserves for demanding music and cinema content.
The high-efficiency switching power supply and Class-D output stage provide direct control of the subwoofer driver without requiring an external power amplifier.
Digital Automatic Room Optimization — D.A.R.O.
The integrated D.A.R.O. system uses the supplied calibration microphone to measure the acoustic response of the room.
Its 18-band digital equalisation system helps address room-related peaks and boundary effects, producing a more consistent low-frequency response at the listening position.
Heavy-Duty Sealed Enclosure
The f112v2 uses a rigid, high-density MDF enclosure with substantial internal matrix bracing.
The cabinet construction is designed to minimise:
- Cabinet flex
- Structural vibration
- Internal resonance
- Acoustic coloration
Front-Mounted Control Panel
Controls positioned behind the removable front grille provide convenient access to:
- Gain
- Crossover frequency
- Variable phase
- Polarity
- D.A.R.O. calibration
This makes system setup straightforward while maintaining the subwoofer's clean exterior appearance.

Two-Channel & Home-Cinema Integration
Two-Channel
The f112v2 is an excellent foundation for extending a high-performance stereo system into the sub-bass region.
Careful adjustment of crossover, level, phase, and placement allows the subwoofer to complement the main loudspeakers while maintaining a cohesive presentation.
Home Cinema
With 1800 W RMS amplification, a 12-inch long-excursion driver, and D.A.R.O., the f112v2 provides substantial capability for LFE reproduction in dedicated cinema and media-room applications.
Installation & System Setup
At 53 kg, the f112v2 benefits from careful planning of delivery, placement, and final positioning.
Trimira Audio can assist with:
- Optimal subwoofer placement
- Crossover and phase alignment
- D.A.R.O. calibration
- Two-channel integration
- Home-cinema LFE configuration
- Multi-subwoofer planning
- Room-acoustic optimisation
