"The JL f110v2 is a mighty mite of a sub, conceding little to its larger brothers. Placing it up front in a stereo system, crossed over to the main speakers and, most crucially, matched to the room with D.A.R.O., it can extend and clarify the bass response of your system."

JL Audio Fathom F110v2 Subwoofer
"Every Impact was realistic, with a visceral quality that I felt in my chest."
"the f110v2 might just be the fastest-sounding woofer I’ve ever encountered, and it was able to move a ton of air for such a small footprint."

"This is a hell of a good subwoofer, If you've got the scratch to buy it and the abs to unpack and install it, you won't be sorry."

"I have reviewed many fine subwoofers and although I enjoyed my time with many of them, I felt no tinge of regret when returning them. The f112s are different. They are not going anywhere as they have now become part of my reference system, until something better (which I can afford) comes along, which I suspect will not be for quite some time. Kudos JL Audio, your f112 combined with your CR-1 gives music lovers a means to integrate superior subs with main speakers in a way that delivers deep, visceral, accurate and distinctively tuneful bass performance in a manner that will give anyone with a heartbeat, many goose bump inducing musical moments."

Editors' Choice Award Winner
The Absolute Sound, 2008-2021 (Fathom f112 & f113)
"What are they, exactly? I can't answer that in a nutshell. Not if you want more specific than fantastic. The condensed version is that they are relatively small, insanely well-built, extremely powerful, very smooth, tight, detailed to a fine line, clean, poise-laden, dynamically proficient, utterly kick-ass subwoofers."

"I really wanted to find fault with this product and go back to using my DIY Perfect Subwoofers which have provided benchmark performance in my systems for over six years. However, the superior performance of the JL Audio Fathom f112 subwoofers is undeniable. A true reference-level component. Does it sound as if I like this product? You had better believe it!"
