Powerbass PS-12 12" Subwoofer

The PowerBass PS-12 is a 12-inch, 4-ohm subwoofer built for budget-minded enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on bass quality. It carries PowerBass DNA and is optimized for both sealed and ported enclosures, delivering versatile, musical low-end performance.

• Size: 12" woofer designed to fit standard automotive mounting applications and deliver deep, controlled bass within typical trunk depths.
• Nominal Impedance: 4-ohm - compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and conducive to efficient power transfer in single-driver setups.
• Power Handling (RMS / Max): 250W RMS / 500W max - enables solid continuous playback with headroom for peaks without immediate distortion or thermal stress.
• Voice Coil Size: 2" BASV voice coil former - large diameter helps improve power handling and linear cone motion under excursion.
• Cone Material: DDC treated paper cone - provides rigidity and durability for consistent performance across temperature changes.
• Surround: 4-layer treated foam surround - supports long-term excursion and improves durability in demanding bass transitions.
• Basket: Stamped steel basket - rigid structure to minimize frame flex during high-energy bass events.
• Enclosure Optimization: Optimized for sealed or ported enclosures - designed to perform well in either type of box for versatile builds.
• Sensitivity: 91 dB (1W/1M) - relatively efficient for a 12" sub, meaning more perceived output from a given amp power.
• Frequency Response: 32 Hz – 450 Hz - extends into the lower bass while maintaining musicality up into higher bass harmonics.
• Mounting Depth: 5.4 in - compact depth for many vehicle trunks and install bays without compromising clearance.
• Xmax: 8 mm - capable of meaningful cone excursion for deep bass before distortion or loss of control.
• Cutout Diameter: 11" (279 mm) - standard cutout size facilitates straightforward installation with common mounting rings.
• Magnet Size: 40 oz - provides adequate magnet force to support its power handling and excursion characteristics.

Benefits: In a typical car audio build, the PS-12 delivers solid bass performance from a 12" driver with practical power handling and versatile enclosure compatibility. Its 2" BASV voice coil and robust cone/surround arrangement support controlled excursion and durable long-term use, while the 4-ohm impedance pairs well with a broad range of amplifiers. The result is a confident, music-focused sub that works in sealed or ported boxes and remains approachable for budget-conscious installations.
