Description
DS18 IXS12.4D is a shallow-mount 12-inch subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils, delivering 800W RMS and 1600W max for high-impact bass in tight install spaces.
- Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coils (4+4 Ω): Enables flexible wiring options to match a wide range of amplifiers, with series/parallel configurations for different impedance needs.
- RMS Power Handling: 800W continuous power, providing steady, reliable bass when driven by an appropriate amplifier.
- Maximum Power Handling: 1600W peak, allowing brief dynamic bursts without clipping when demanded by the music.
- Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 600 Hz, covering deep bass fundamentals up through lower midrange, enabling impactful low-end presence.
- Sensitivity: 85 dB (1W/1m), indicating efficient conversion of electrical power into sound for strong output at moderate amp levels.
- Shallow Mount / Compact Enclosure Fit: Designed to fit in tight spaces while requiring less box volume, expanding installation options without sacrificing bass impact.
- Construction: 12" nominal diameter; Voice Coil Diameter 2.5" (63.5 mm); Cone Material: Paper; Dust Cap Material: Fiberglass; Surround: Stitched Rubber; Basket: Aluminum; Magnet: Ferrite.
- Recommended Enclosures: Sealed internal volume 28 L (1 ft³) with F3 around 40 Hz for predictable low-end performance in compact enclosures.
- Displacement: 0.93 L / 0.033 ft³, indicating the amount of air the woofer can move under load in a sealed box.
- Thiele & Small Parameters: Vas 37.3 L; Fs 33 Hz; Qms 4.034; Qes 0.861; Qts 0.71; Mms 184 g; Cms 104 mm/N; Le 7.07 mH; Diaphragm Area Sd 494.81 cm²; Re 3.6+3.6 Ω.
In a car audio build, the IXS12.4D excels in sealed enclosures around 28 L, delivering defined bass down to the low end of the spectrum with precise control. The shallow design and dual voice coils provide installation flexibility and amplifier compatibility, making it well-suited for tight-footprint installations under seats, in trunk walls, or other confined spaces where deep, impactful bass is still required.
