DC Audio M3 Level 1 12" Subwoofer

The DC Audio M3 Level 1 12" Subwoofer is a high‑performance 12-inch woofer built for serious bass enthusiasts who demand precise control and robust power handling in a compact enclosure. Leveraging a double‑stacked FEA‑optimized motor, chrome top plate and yoke, and a 2.0" voice coil, it pairs a stiff motor with refined cone geometry for clean low end at high output.

• 12" subwoofer with 2.0" voice coil: combines extended excursion with reliable heat management for sustained bass under demanding programs.
• FEA analyzed and optimized motor assembly – Fully CNC machined: ensures consistent performance and mechanical stiffness, reducing distortion at high excursion.
• Stitched surround and paper cone assembly: provides controlled cone motion and long‑term durability under heavy duty use.
• Rubber motor boot with DC logo and Polypropylene dust cover with DC logo: protect the motor and inner components while maintaining a low‑mass, rigid structure.
• Heavy‑duty interweaved tinsel lead wire sewn to the spider: supports reliable electrical transfer during extreme excursions.
• Stamped steel black frame and Rubber mounting gasket: rigid, non‑resonant chassis with a compliant seal for enclosure integrity.
• Chrome spring‑loaded push terminals: secure, easy wiring for reliable connections in automotive environments.
• 2.0" voice coil and Ohm options: d2/d4: flexible wiring configurations to suit different amplifier and enclosure designs.
• Power handling: 300W RMS / 600W peak to support dynamic bass without clipping.
• Key Thiele–Small specs: Sd 481 cm², Vas 47.7 L, Cms 0.12 mm/N, Mms 168 g, Re 8 Ω, Le 2.79 mH, Fs 32.6 Hz, Qts 0.43, Qms 2.52, Qes 0.51, Xmax 19 mm, Ref SPL @ 1 W 86.9 dB.
