DC Audio PS3 12" Subwoofer

Hand-built in the USA with a 7–14 day build time, the DC Audio PS3 12" Subwoofer is a high-power driver engineered for sealed, ported, and open-air installations, delivering controlled, deep bass in demanding automotive builds.

• Power Handling: 1250W RMS / 2500W Peak — reflects the continuous vs. burst power capability; paired with a capable amplifier, it maintains dynamic bass without collapsing into distortion.
• Voice Coil: 3.0" Hi-temp voice coil on a black anodized former — larger coil surface and heat tolerance support sustained excursion with reduced thermal compression.
• Motor & Frame: Triple 8" OD semi cup spider, 2.5mm aluminum shorting ring, FE A analyzed and optimized motor assembly, fully CNC machined cast aluminum frame — combines stiffness and precision to minimize distortion under heavy power and open-air conditions.
• Cone & Surround: Extremely rigid non-pressed paper cone with multilayered polymer foam surround and polypropylene dust cover — aids linear motion and durability across enclosure types.
• Mounting & Terminals: Cast aluminum black frame with rubber mounting gasket and chrome spring-loaded push terminals; no invert mount — provides reliable installation and adaptable enclosure integration.
• Physical Fit (12" model): Mounting Depth 6.75", Mounting Hole Diameter 11", Outside Driver Diameter 12.5" — clear cutout and mounting parameters help ensure proper fitment in common spaces.
• Enclosure Recommendations: Sealed Box 1.0 ft, Ported Box 1.25 ft — guidance for achieving predictable bass response in a 12" PS3 installation.
• Performance Metrics: Ref SPL @ 1W/1m 79.89 dB, Fs 36.21 Hz, Re 4.18 Ohm, Le 2.98 mH, Qms 11.21, Qes 0.92, Qts 0.851, Xmax 23 mm, Vas 12.64 L, Cms 42.5 μm/n, Mms 453.67 g, Sd 457 cm² — these figures describe efficiency, mechanical resonance, electrical impedance, and excursion limits that guide enclosure tuning and system pairing.

Benefits: In a real car audio build, the PS3 12" pairs with appropriate amplification and enclosure to deliver substantial bass in a compact footprint. Its design supports sealed or ported configurations while also performing in open-air installations, making it suitable for high-performance cars, motorcycles, Slingshots, or side-by-side builds. The advanced motor and aluminum shorting ring help maintain linearity under heavy power, while the robust construction and vented cooling strategies support sustained, loud bass without compromising reliability.
