Inside JL Audio Manufacturing Facility - Sportsman's "Behind The Glass" (Season 2 - Episode 4)

Welcome to Sportsman Boats, "Behind The Glass," Season 2. This series is based around the construction process of a Sportsman Boat. In this episode we are on the road visiting JL Audio at their home manufacturing plant in Miramar, Florida. Join us as we take you inside and show you how JL builds their world class speakers used in every Sportsman Boat.
Come back every Friday as we release new episodes and take you through the processes we have developed to build the fastest growing line of center console and bay boats on the market.

Great video. The detail of the content and production is outstanding. It’s obvious Sportsman is dedicated to producing the best media content in the industry. How big of a team does it take to create content? I’d love to see a video that shows us your process.

It all depends on the size of the shoot, we are 100% in house. For most of the Behind The Glass content it's a 1-2 man production. From script writing, to filming and editing. When we get into bigger shoots such as new model shoots we have lots of people to drive boats, clean boats, help all aspects of production and more. We've got a great team here that works hard and really knocks it out of the park.

Are you guys no longer using JL audio amps and speakers?

[@SportsmanBoatsOffical]

Starting in Model Year 2024 we have done a full switch to a Garmin Fusion system standard. This DSP system is fully tuned on all models for the best sound possible. It's equivalent to the upgraded JL Audio package we previously offered.

I have always liked JLs products just felt they were incredibly overpriced. After watching this I don't feel that they are as overpriced as I once did. If we want American made products with American workers that is the price we have to be willing to pay.

Did u not notice all the not American workers they have ? They are still over priced plastic garbage only a fool will buy
