DS18 SLC12S Select Series 12-Inch Single Voice Coil 500 Watts Max Subwoofer, Set of 1

I tested these in free air as part of a break in process I do with any sub I buy. Its interesting to hear mechanical noise from the rear of a driver, it tells a lot about how the cooling around the voice coil is managed, how much noise the spider and suspension are making, and how linear the cone movement is. I have been running an MTX terminator 12 at the same time, and to be honest, they are very similar, low mechanical noise and sharp response. These are low cost drivers, so it's silly to have expectations of windows blowing out etc. However, as anyone who's ever designed an enclosure for a subwoofer will know, it's alot to do with box design. I'd say given enough room to breath (as it has quite a small motor assembly) this could move enough air to satisfy most people. I'd say you could get 130db with one driver in the correct enclosure in the right car with the right amp. Power handling will be it's limitation, with only a 50mm coil, it will burn up very quickly if you mistreat it with a massive amp, but treat it properly and it should last - it looks well built. In terms of sound quality, again, with a larger enclosure this could perform beautifully. It's a far cry from the crap churned out by big brand names in the 90s that's for sure! 👌

Great value for money

Not happy at all on way home from work and subs just went off not even at full power wouldn't buy this product again
