Description
Designed for hardcore car-audio enthusiasts, the Deaf Bonce Apocalypse DB-3012R D1/D2 is a 12-inch subwoofer with dual-impedance options and extreme power handling, built to deliver massive bass in demanding installations.
- Size: 12 inch — A large-diameter cone moves more air, enabling substantial bass output and higher potential volume in a compact vehicle space.
- Voice coil size: 3.00 inch — A bigger voice coil improves heat capacity and power handling during long, loud passages.
- Cone: Paper — Paper cones offer damping characteristics that support controlled bass transient response and clear mids.
- Magnet: Ferrite — Ferrite magnets provide robust magnetic strength with solid thermal performance and cost efficiency.
- Voice coil wire: None — (No separate coil winding specified in this configuration.)
- Surround: Foam — Foam surrounds allow linear cone movement across a wide frequency range while withstanding repeated excursions.
- RMS Power: 2800 W — Indicates continuous power handling capability for sustained bass output when paired with an appropriately rated amplifier.
- MAX Power: 5600 W — Shows peak handling for transient peaks in music or dynamic bass bursts.
- Frame: Alu — Aluminum frame provides rigidity and durability for high-excursion operation.
- Impedance: 1+1 / 2+2 Ohm — Dual-impedance options allow flexible amplifier matching and easier wiring to achieve the desired load.
- SPL: 86.50 / 86.50 dB — Sensitivity indicates efficiency; this driver delivers substantial output from a given input across both impedance configurations.
- Fs: 33.80 Hz — The resonant frequency informs the low-end extension and enclosure tuning considerations.
- Qts: 0.43 / 0.43 — A moderate Qts suggests suitability for a range of enclosure types and a stable low-frequency response.
- BL: 26.00 / 26.00 — Motor strength value; higher BL typically improves transient response and efficiency.
- Vas: 30.20 / 30.20 L — Vas translates to enclosure size calculations and how the driver integrates with air spring characteristics.
- Xmeh: 38.00 / 38.00 mm — Mechanical travel limit defines how far the cone can move before contact.
- Xmax: 19.00 / 19.00 mm — Maximum linear excursion; influences usable displacement for loud bass without distortion.
- Mounting depth: 8.82 inch (224.0 mm) — Depth requirement helps determine fitment in shallow enclosures or tight installations.
- Cut-out dimension: 11.18 inch (284.0 mm) — Cut-out size needed for proper mounting in the enclosure or vehicle panel.
- Gross weight: 61.51 lb (27.90 kg) — Heavy mass reflects a robust, rigid unit suitable for demanding, high-output installations.
In high-output builds, the Apocalypse DB-3012R D1/D2 excels when paired with a capable amplifier and an appropriately sized enclosure. The dual impedance options enable precise load matching, while the ferrite magnet and large voice coil sustain heat and power handling during aggressive bass passages. With substantial Xmax and Xmech, it delivers meaningful displacement at loud drive levels, all within the confines of a 12-inch, aluminum-framed design suitable for demanding vehicle installations where space and mounting depth are considerations.
