Description
The American Bass HD-VELOCITY Series 12" Subwoofer is built for serious car-audio enthusiasts seeking deep, powerful bass with lasting durability. A die-cast basket with a blue finish, carbon-fiber-enhanced cone, and a high-temperature 3.0-inch voice coil handle up to 2200W RMS (4400W MAX), in a design that supports 1-ohm and 2-ohm setups.
- RMS Power: 2200 W RMS continuous power handling — enables sustained, dynamic bass when paired with a suitable amplifier.
- Max Power: 4400 W peak — accommodates brief transients and dynamic bass hits without immediate risk of damage.
- Impedance: D1/D2 — dual voice coils selectable for 1-ohm or 2-ohm wiring to match your amplifier and enclosure needs.
- Sensitivity: 84.4 dB / 84.3 dB — efficiency indication of loudness per watt at 1 m, helping gauge system output potential.
- Voice Coil: 3" high-temperature voice coil — larger coil improves heat management for longer high-power listening sessions.
- Magnet Size: 315 oz — substantial magnet mass provides strong motor force for controlled bass.
- Basket Type: Cast — rigid frame reduces flex and supports consistent performance under heavy excursions.
- Mounting Depth: 9.02 in — required depth to fit into typical trunk or door panel installations.
- Cutout Size: 11.34 in — diameter of the mounting hole needed for installation.
- Ported Box: 2–2.5 ft³ — recommended enclosure volume for a ported configuration to optimize bass extension and output.
- Finish/Cone: Die-cast blue basket with carbon-fiber-enhanced cone — combines rigid construction with distinctive styling and accurate cone response.
- Spider/Magnet System: Multi-layer poly-cotton spiders and triple-stacked magnet system — designed for stable, efficient performance under demanding bass.
- Recommended Amp (Pair): Godfather 5D — pairing guidance to achieve suitable headroom in a two-driver setup.
In a ported 2–2.5 ft³ enclosure, this sub delivers strong low-end extension with clean, controlled response. The dual impedance options, large magnet, and 3" voice coil support robust power handling, while the cast basket, carbon-fiber cone, and multi-layer spiders contribute to long-term durability in demanding driving conditions. The result is a high-performance, premium-thinking subwoofer designed for serious systems.
