Gotham V2

$24,000.00 (each)

The Gotham® v2 is the maximum, unfettered expression of JL Audio’s deep commitments to beautiful design, exceptional build quality and truly great audio. With an intoxicating combination of texture, tightness, dynamics and extension, Gotham v2’s are ideal as a complement to fine stereo loudspeakers, or as the low-frequency foundations in a top-tier home theatre.

The Gotham® v2’s massive fibreglass-composite enclosure is hand-finished in luxurious gloss black and highlighted by machined aluminum and stainless steel accents. The look and feel is elegant and spectacular at the same time. More importantly, this beautiful cabinet houses a pair of JL Audio’s highest-technology subwoofer drivers, each with over four inches of peak-to-peak excursion capability. The Gotham® v2 amplifier offers a mind-numbing 4,500 watts of clean, controlled power, while a completely new signal processing system employs DSP for all functions. This includes a more powerful, digital version of our automatic room optimization technology, with 18 bands of response correction to flawlessly integrate the Gotham® v2 into your room’s acoustics.

Listening to a Gotham® v2 reveals an entirely new dimension of subwoofer performance… a dimension so satisfying that listening to lesser subwoofers will forever become an act of compromise.
