The JVC CS-AW8240 is a member of the 2009 JVC mobile line. It differs from the other members in the line by having a 103 Oz. Dual-Stacked Strontium Magnet, much heavier and more powerful than the standard magnets the rest of them have. It comes with a 2 year warranty, something the website doesn't list all of them having, and delivers 3000 watts of maximum power handling, along with 1000 watts of continuous power. It has fuse protection for its rapid-fire impedence selector terminal. The JVC CS-AW8240 is built with great features for taking care of the excess heat its power can product. It has a T3 Chassis (Thermal Transfer Technology) that works with the air vented aluminum cast basket and the heat transfer silicon to make sure that the product isn't damaged by an excess build up of heat.
