Description
The American Bass XFL Series 12" Subwoofer is a high-power, cast-basket driver designed for serious car-audio builds that demand controlled, impactful bass. It handles 1000W RMS continuous power and 2000W peak, delivering clean output in a vented enclosure.
- RMS Power: 1000W RMS continuous power handling; reflects the amount of power the driver can sustain for extended periods without thermal compression or damage.
- Max Power: 2000W; peak input capability used for short-term bursts or transient peaks in demanding tracks.
- Impedance (Ohms): D2/D4; dual 2-ohm or 4-ohm voice-coil configurations provide wiring flexibility to match different amplifier loads.
- Sensitivity DB: 86.5; indicates efficiency and how much output you get per watt at a standard measurement distance, influencing how loud it sounds with a given amp.
- Mounting Depth (In): 8.34"; depth requirement to install the sub in a given location, important for trunk or under-seat clearances.
- Cutout Size (In): 11.4"; diameter of the mounting hole needed in the enclosure panel.
- Ported Box (ft³): 2 – 2.5; recommended vented enclosure volume to achieve the intended bass response and efficiency.
- Magnet Size (Oz): 200; large magnet contributes to motor strength and control at high excursion for reliable performance.
- Voice Coil Size: 3"; a 3-inch voice coil supports heat dissipation and power handling under demanding playbacks.
- Basket Type: Cast; rigid frame enhances structural integrity and voice-coil alignment, reducing distortion.
- Recommended Amp (Pair): VFL COMOP 2K; designed to be paired with this amplifier for optimal power delivery and system matching.
In a real car audio build, the XFL 12" excels in a 2.0–2.5 ft³ ported enclosure and shines when paired with the VFL COMOP 2K amplifier, delivering the designed 1000W RMS with solid impedance options for flexible system design. The combination of a 200 oz magnet, 3" voice coil, and cast basket provides durable, controlled bass under high-excursion conditions, making it a robust choice for enthusiasts seeking loud, accurate low-end in a street-legal setup.
