Anyone know if JL Audio Fathom series v1 and v2 will pair?


Hoping there’s a JL Audio dealer/expert who can tell me if I can daisy-chain two JL Audio Fathom series subwoofers in a master/slave configuration. The big difference seems to be the auto room correction implementation, where the v2 is digital ARO and the v1 is just regular ARO, whatever that means. With the mic in the listening position and running the v2’s ARO sequence, will both subs be corrected at once? If not, what’s the best way to optimize these two subs using their ARO capabilities? Many thanks!

When I tried daisy chaining master/slave as you say the subs together, the newer V2 version is louder than the V1. And, by that method what you are getting is the sum of all. Rather than the best individually.
But, try it both ways.

I own 4 JL F-113 subs. Only one is the V2. The V2 has more output.
I am using mine as stereo pairs connecting the front R sub to the R rear and etc. for the left channel. I have found that using them all as Masters and EQ’ing each individually in there own position, is the best overall.
