The STX828S is a high power
subwoofer system containing two
2242H patented Super Vented Gap
Cooled™ 18" woofers in a front-
loaded, vented enclosure. The
enclosure is designed to present a
minimum frontal area. The system
offers complete input connection
flexibility for compatibility with a
variety of cabling schemes. A recessed,
external switch allows selection of
either contacts +1/-1 or +2/-2. By
relocating an internal connector, it is
also possible to drive each woofer
discretely from a separate amplifier
channel.
The enclosure is constructed of top
quality birch/poplar laminate plywood
and coated in JBL’s rugged DuraFlex™
finish. Each woofer is housed in an
isolated chamber and the enclosure is
heavily braced to maximize low-
frequency performance. The attractive
CNC-machined, 14-gauge steel grille is
internally lined with acoustically
transparent cloth to provide additional
driver protection and give a very
professional appearance.

JBL continually engages in research related to product improvement. Some materials, production methods and design
refinements are introduced into existing products without notice as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this
reason, any current JBL product may differ in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or
exceed the original design specifications unless otherwise stated.
