American Bass Godfather Series 18" Subwoofer

The American Bass Godfather Series 18" Subwoofer is built for those who demand the highest SPL and enduring reliability from an 18-inch driver, featuring a 400 oz magnet, a 4” flat-wire wound high-temp coil, a multi-spider system, and a double-stitched cone.

• RMS Power: 3000W — designed for sustained high-output bass, matching its heavy-duty motor and cooling to keep performance under load.
• Max Power: 6000W — handles brief peak bass transients and dynamic signal swings without immediate clipping.
• Impedance (Ohms): D1/D2 — dual-impedance configuration options to suit different amplifiers and wiring strategies.
• Sensitivity: 88.9/87.8 dB — reflects how efficiently the driver converts amplifier power into audible output within a given enclosure.
• Mounting Depth: 11.22 in — depth requirement important for fitment behind panels, in trunks, or within deep enclosures.
• Cutout Size: 16.54 in — the required hole diameter for mounting the sub in your enclosure or panel.
• Ported Box (ft³): 5.5–6.5 — recommended enclosure volume for vented tuning to maximize output and control.
• Magnet Size: 400 oz — substantial motor force that supports high excursion and low-end boost with reduced motor flex.
• Voice Coil Size: 4 in — large-diameter coil aids cooling and power handling during intense bass passages.
• Basket Type: Cast — rigid frame that helps maintain precise alignment under heavy excursion.
• Air-Cooled Bottom Plate — integrated cooling feature to improve heat dissipation during extended play, supporting the 3000W RMS rating.
• Coil Type: American-made 4” flat wire wound high temp coil — designed for durability and efficient power transfer at high temperatures.
• Spider System: Multi spider system — distributes load across the cone to improve control and durability during large excursions.
• Cone Construction: Double stitched cone — enhances cone integrity under long-term, high-stress use.
• Recommended Amp (Pair): VFL 5K / VFL 6K — pairing with these high-current amplifiers is suggested to maximize the driver’s rated output in a two-sub setup.

In a real car audio build, this sub excels in large, ported enclosures where extreme bass output is desired. The 11.22" mounting depth and 16.54" cutout define install space, while the 400 oz magnet, 4" voice coil, and multi-spider design keep motion controlled at high excursion. The cast basket and double-stitched cone add durability for long-term installs, and the air-cooled bottom plate helps manage heat during extended playback. When paired with a high-current amplifier like a VFL 5K or 6K, it delivers the rated RMS and peak power with authoritative, low-frequency impact.
