This 12-inch subwoofer is meticulously engineered to provide exceptional low-frequency performance from an ultra-shallow design, making it the perfect choice for installations where traditional subwoofers simply won't fit. Whether you need to fit bass under your seat, behind a truck bench, or in a custom, space-constrained enclosure, the SML-12 D2 delivers.Compact Powerhouse Performance: Despite its slim profile, the SML-12 D2 is a true powerhouse, capable of handling 600 Watts RMS and 1200 Watts Peak power. This robust power handling ensures that the subwoofer delivers crisp, deep, and impactful bass notes with remarkable clarity and authority. Unlike other shallow-mount subwoofers that compromise on output, the SML-12 D2 is designed to produce powerful, dynamic bass that will truly enhance your in-car audio experience, proving that great bass doesn't require massive space. Its Sensitivity (Sens) of 87.5dB ensures efficient power utilization for impressive output.Revolutionary Ultra-Shallow Design: The hallmark of the SML Series is its innovative, ultra-shallow design. With an incredibly compact 4.45” mounting depth, this subwoofer is specifically engineered to fit into the tightest spaces in your vehicle. It's an inch shallower than our popular SLD series, yet it delivers nearly the same excursion, ensuring deep bass output from a remarkably thin profile. The overall outer diameter of approximately 12.6 inches (Ø320.0 mm) and a cutout diameter of approximately 10.75 inches (Ø273.0 mm) make it highly adaptable for various installations, truly redefining what’s possible for bass in limited areas.Optimized for Small & Sealed Enclosures: The SML-12 D2 is specifically optimized to perform exceptionally well in small enclosures, making it ideal for discreet installations. It excels in a sealed environment, with a recommended enclosure volume ranging from just 0.75 to 1.0 cubic feet. For those seeking more output and deeper extension, it performs powerfully in a ported enclosure of 1.25 to 1.75 cubic feet, tuned to 35Hz with a 26-30 sq in port area. Its Displacement (VAS) of 39.012 L and Qts of 0.394 are optimized for a wide range of small- footprint applications.Advanced Engineering for Durability & Clarity: Every component of the SML-12 D2 is chosen for performance and longevity. It features a robust 2.5” black aluminum voice coil former coupled with high- temperature 4-layer copper voice coil wire, ensuring superior heat dissipation and consistent performance even during prolonged, demanding use. The vented pole-piece and multi-vented magnetic gap further enhance thermal management by promoting airflow to the voice coil. Stitched-on “Mini-XL” tinsel Leads prevent fatigue and failure, guaranteeing reliable connections. Its Dual- magnet design contributes to smooth acoustic response, while the custom tooled cone shape reduces mechanical noise over its 14mm Xmax, providing exceptionally clean and distortion-free bass. A bolt-through motor design ensures maximum longevity and ruggedness.Flexible Dual 2 Ohm Voice Coils: The SML-12 D2 is equipped with Dual 2 Ohm voice coils, providing exceptional wiring flexibility for seamless integration with your amplifier.
