This 12 (30cm) subwoofer delivers an impressive 4500 watts RMS of power thanks to its triple magnets and massive 4 dual 2 ohm voice coils, while reaching an incredible 9000 watts under impulse load. The cast aluminum basket and double-stitched surrounds ensure unsurpassed stability. With a sound pressure level of approximately 151 dB in a 75-liter enclosure, it unleashes its full power. The Masori Lowest Price Guarantee ensures you get this cutting-edge technology at the best price.

Amazing power of 4500 watts RMS and 9000 watts max

The Hifonics Colossus CX12D2 is designed to deliver performance beyond the ordinary. With 4500 watts RMS and a maximum power handling of 9000 watts, this subwoofer can reproduce the deepest tones with powerful precision. These impressive power figures allow the subwoofer to be used in situations where extreme levels are required. A lower RMS rating would limit its use to less powerful systems. The maximum power underscores its ability to effortlessly handle even extreme music styles like dubstep and hip-hop, providing the foundation for an immersive soundstage.

Triple magnet with 3 x 285 ounces for controlled power

The use of a triple magnet with a total weight of 3 x 285 ounces ensures unparalleled power control in the Colossus CX12D2. This design decision enables precise voice coil control and optimizes motion damping. Compared to conventional subwoofers with simpler or weaker magnet structures, this design offers far greater control and greater efficiency. Reducing this value could result in less precise bass reproduction, compromising the overall sound quality in the vehicle.

100 mm dual voice coils with X-Max of +/- 25 mm

The 100 mm dual voice coils, wound with a special high-temperature-resistant aluminum and copper wire, allow an excursion (X-Max) of +/- 25 mm. This technical refinement makes the subwoofer robust against extreme thermal requirements and mechanical stress. A smaller voice coil size or a smaller X-Max compromises the subwoofer's ability to reproduce low frequencies loudly and with control. This value demonstrates the mobility of the diaphragm, which is crucial for precise, powerful bass, and gives the Colossus CX12D2 its characteristic subwoofer performance.

Double-stitched beading and dual Nomex spider for long-lasting durability

The Hifonics Colossus CX12D2 features double-stitched surrounds and a dual-centering Nomex spider, ensuring the subwoofer's structural integrity even under extreme conditions. These features ensure that the cone's movement is optimally supported by stability and flexibility. Compared to single-stitched or less robust materials, this construction ensures greater durability and reliability. These features contribute significantly to consistent sound quality even under heavy loads and prevent unwanted distortion or mechanical damage.

Cast aluminum basket and handmade paper membrane

The Colossus CX12D2's sturdy cast aluminum basket provides a resilient structure that minimizes unwanted resonances, while the lightweight, hand-made paper cone ensures highly precise sound reproduction. The cast basket allows for a firm hold of the entire structure, which is crucial for distortion-free performance and bass intensity. Unlike plastic cabinets, aluminum not only provides stability but also improved heat dissipation, maximizing acoustic performance.

Sound Quality and SPL: 151 dB sound pressure in 75 liters volume

The Hifonics Colossus CX12D2 achieves outstanding sound quality and SPL characteristics by generating an incredible 151 dB of sound pressure from a 75-liter cabinet. These specified performance values ​​are responsible for deep bass and an impressive volume experience that leaves nothing to be desired. A lower sound pressure level would significantly diminish the subjective impression of the loudness and intensity of the bass sound. The high SPL value ensures that the powerful bass comes through clearly and distinctly, even with competing external noise.

Dual 2 ohm impedance for flexible wiring options

The dual 2-ohm impedance voice coils of the Hifonics Colossus CX12D2 offer versatile connection options and make it easy to optimally match the overall impedance to the amplifier's power. The advantage of this configuration is the ability to use parallel or series circuits to adjust the final impedance to 1 ohm, 2 ohm, or 4 ohms, increasing flexibility when building complex car hi-fi systems. In comparison, a fixed-impedance subwoofer configuration would significantly limit the adaptability and restrict the unit's application range.

Thiele-Small parameters: Fs, Qts, and Vas for finest audio tuning

With an Fs of 36 Hz, a Qts of 0.34, and a Vas of 25 liters, the Hifonics Colossus CX12D2 provides the foundation for a detailed audio configuration. The Fs value indicates the system's resonant frequency, at which the subwoofer operates most efficiently. The Qts number of 0.34 indicates that the subwoofer is well suited for applications requiring both precise sound and powerful SPL. A low individual Vas value suggests that the subwoofer can utilize compact enclosures well without compromising sound quality.

High-quality special adhesive for extreme loads

The use of robust special adhesive during assembly of the Hifonics Colossus CX12D2 ensures that all components remain firmly connected under extreme loads. Secure bonding is essential to hold the subwoofer together during high-amplitude vibrations, thus extending its service life. Poor adhesive would increase the risk of mechanical damage, especially at high power levels, and could adversely affect overall sound quality and reliability. The combination of this technology with the other high-quality components is the secret behind the subwoofer's longevity.
