DS18 Carbon12.2D- 12" High Excursion Subwoofer with Carbon Fiber Cone | 3500W RMS / 7000W Peak | Dual 2-Ohm Voice Coil
Built for serious low-frequency performance, the DS18 CARBON12.2D 12" High Excursion Subwoofer is engineered to deliver massive bass output for high-powered car audio systems. Rated at 3,500 watts RMS and 7,000 watts maximum power, the CARBON12.2D combines extreme power handling with a high-excursion design to produce deep, powerful bass in demanding applications. Its dual 2-ohm voice coil configuration provides flexible wiring options, allowing installers to configure the subwoofer for different amplifier loads, including 1-ohm parallel or 4-ohm series wiring.
The CARBON12.2D combines premium materials with a powerful motor structure designed to handle extreme power while maintaining reliable performance. Its carbon-fiber cone and matching carbon-fiber dust cap provide a lightweight and rigid diaphragm designed for controlled movement and high-output bass reproduction. A 3.5" aluminum voice coil with CCAR winding supports high power handling and heat management, while the massive 425 oz ferrite magnet provides the motor force needed for high-excursion operation. The foam surround and aluminum basket support the moving assembly during demanding use, while 22.5 mm of one-way Xmax allows the subwoofer to move substantial amounts of air. With a 10β200 Hz frequency response, the CARBON12.2D is built for powerful low-frequency performance in serious car audio systems.
