Dual Voice Coil

The invention of the Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer vastly simplified this task for car stereo installation and its’ enthusiasts.

A Dual Voice Coil subwoofer will not produce more bass than a single voice coil subwoofer. It is more about producing the right ohm load for maximum efficiency from the amplifier that you are running. Ohms are a measurement of electrical resistance. The less resistance, the more power that the amp will put out. More power from your amplifier means that you can run your subwoofer at its’ peak performance or be able to hook up more subwoofers to your amplifier.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • 12 inch 1800 Watt Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer.
  • Power Handling (Peak): 1800W
  • Power Handling (Continuous): 900W
  • Sensitivity (1 Watt/1 Meter): 96dB
  • Impedance: Dual 4 OHM
  • Voice Coil: 2 inch
  • Mounting Depth: 5-3/8"
  • Frequency Response: 23 Hz – 3 kHz

Cone – Polypropylene

Commonly called just PP, this plastic has various forms. It is a resilient and durable manufactured material that can be used in thousands of applications across virtually all fields. It can be used for tubes, car trims, and bags. In the specific case of our cones, this material allows for maximum give that produces great sounding speakers lasting you a long, long time.

Surround – Foam

Up until about 30 years ago, foam surrounds tended to deteriorate more quickly, but due to recent advancements, the average life span of standard foam surrounds is about 8 to 16 years. New foam formulas last much longer and are a superior product for speaker drivers that need a large excursion (how much the cone needs to move back and forth). Foam keeps the cone centered and yields a high excursion. Foam is self-damping (the ability to control undesirable movement of the speaker cone) and reduces its own standing waves. It is also very light and has a minimal effect on the motion of the cone. Foam can be mixed with other substances to produce different flex and strength properties.

Voice Coil – Aluminum

One of the most abundant elements on earth, Aluminum is remarkable for its low density and for its ability to resist corrosion. It is nonmagnetic (does not have any magnetic properties) and does not easily ignite. This solid material has the ability to perform under stress in both high tension and high compression environments. Aluminum is relatively soft making one of the more ideal materials to use in voice coils.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fits 2002 Chevy Tahoe and Sounds Great With Factory Amp!
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2016
I purchased this subwoofer for my 2002 Chevy Tahoe with the non-bose system. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it actually fits without modifying the factory box. You do have to drill new holes for the screws to go in, but the basket fits in the opening, and the magnet does not bottom out in the small enclosure. I am currently running it from the factory amplifier and while it won't win any SPL contests, it does sound clear and hits the lows very very well. It's a very accurate subwoofer and downright fantastic when you factor in the price. I posted a video on youtube if you want to see how I did the install. It's titled 2000-2006 Tahoe Subwoofer Install. I attached a picture too, sorry for how blurry it is.

**Update** I have now been using this subwoofer for a few months and still absolutely love it! it sounds even better than it did when I first installed it. It seems to have warmed up a bit as it broke in. I have also now attached a video that outlines my installation in my 2002 Chevy Tahoe. I hope it's helpful.
