12" Shallow Car Subwoofers

Get full-size 12" bass in a slim-profile package with 12 Volt Outlet's selection of 12" shallow mount car subwoofers — the largest and most powerful shallow mount subwoofer size available, delivering the deep, authoritative low-frequency output of a 12" driver without requiring the enclosure depth of a conventional woofer.

A 12" shallow mount subwoofer is the ultimate space-saving bass solution for builds where maximum output and minimum depth are both non-negotiable. The 12" cone area produces the deep, chest-moving bass that serious listeners expect from a full-size subwoofer, while the shallow mount design keeps enclosure depth low enough to fit under seats in full-size trucks, in custom slim-profile ported or sealed boxes in tight trunk spaces, and in applications where a standard 12" in a conventional enclosure would never work.

12" shallow mount subwoofers require more careful enclosure design than smaller shallow mount drivers — the combination of large cone area and reduced motor depth demands precise tuning to extract maximum performance — but when properly built and crossed, the result is indistinguishable from a conventional 12" subwoofer install in most listening environments. Pair with a quality mono amplifier matched to the driver's RMS rating for a complete, space-efficient bass system that delivers everything you'd expect from a full-size 12".

We carry 12" shallow mount car subwoofers from the most respected brands in the industry including Wavtech, AudioControl, American Bass, DS18, Rockford Fosgate, Massive Audio, and more — brands that push the limits of what a shallow mount subwoofer can do at 12".
