- 4 layer high-temperature copper voice coil capable of handling 1000 watts RMS program power, which makes high acoustic output
- High roll U surround gives an 17.5 mm of Xmax for low bass reproduction without any issues
- Side forced cooling system with vented back plate design for better heat dissipation
- Dual 4 Ohm, easy setup to connect two subs in parallel to 1 ohm

This subwoofer features a beefy magnet motor that enhances its power and bass response, allowing it to handle more power and produce richer, fuller bass tones.
Its double magnet motor combined with flexible high foam surround allows for a remarkable 17.5mm Xmax, delivering high excursion guaranteeing to put out some crazy output.
Put some extra lows in your system with this 12″ sub, which can reach 1.50″ peak-to-peak excursion before damage! Providing deep low frequency bass!
PRV 12” Car Subwoofer RS12-SUB Dual 4 Ohm 1000 Watts Double Stacked Magnet 17.5mm Xmax
Recommended Amplifier configurations:
- 1 Subwoofer – 1x RS900 BASS 2 Ohm, one sub in parallel
- 2 Subwoofers – 1x RS3200 BASS 1 Ohm, both subs in parallel
The LPF on amplifiers should be set between 60 – 90 Hz when using musical power up to 1000 Watts RMS, Subsonic filters should be set according to music style, this will help to avoid subwoofer damage from excess excursion caused by ultra low frequencies.
Take your time and break them in! A brand-new sub is always a little stiff after break-in, the subwoofer soft parts will stretch out! This means with less power you will create the same output with more extended low bass tones

Q & A
RS12-SUBD4











I upgraded my cars sound in all the doors and added one of these in the trunk. This is an impressive speaker. I am adding a second one of these because I over did it on the door speakers…whoops! I can’t wait to hear the result!
I used 2 of these in a custom box with plenty of airspace and they definitely passed my expectations. We put them on a QS5000 full range amp because thats what we had available at the time and the combo does not disappoint. Strong panel flexing lows and sharp high notes make for a great all around subwoofer. Watch the video and see even in this Yukon XL which is huge its flexing the whole truck,
handle big power and distribute hard bass even the ground shakes
i got two of these 4 omhs speakers together they bump the truck, clear high quality base
Had a box built to specs for the subs and installed with the new 3200 watt PRV bass mono block amp. Man these things eat, very satisfied customer!!
I really like the Dusk Cap and Power Handling, I installed this sub in a ported box and let me tell you, this one sub sounded like I had two in my trunk. I was running 800 watts at 2 ohms on this sub. I will definitely order another one.
Love them Very good quality and bass
