Coil Configuration

Description

The American Bass XFL Series 12" Subwoofer is a high-power, cast-basket driver designed for serious car-audio builds that demand controlled, impactful bass. It handles 1000W RMS continuous power and 2000W peak, delivering clean output in a vented enclosure.

  • RMS Power: 1000W RMS continuous power handling; reflects the amount of power the driver can sustain for extended periods without thermal compression or damage.
  • Max Power: 2000W; peak input capability used for short-term bursts or transient peaks in demanding tracks.
  • Impedance (Ohms): D2/D4; dual 2-ohm or 4-ohm voice-coil configurations provide wiring flexibility to match different amplifier loads.
  • Sensitivity DB: 86.5; indicates efficiency and how much output you get per watt at a standard measurement distance, influencing how loud it sounds with a given amp.
  • Mounting Depth (In): 8.34"; depth requirement to install the sub in a given location, important for trunk or under-seat clearances.
  • Cutout Size (In): 11.4"; diameter of the mounting hole needed in the enclosure panel.
  • Ported Box (ft³): 2 – 2.5; recommended vented enclosure volume to achieve the intended bass response and efficiency.
  • Magnet Size (Oz): 200; large magnet contributes to motor strength and control at high excursion for reliable performance.
  • Voice Coil Size: 3"; a 3-inch voice coil supports heat dissipation and power handling under demanding playbacks.
  • Basket Type: Cast; rigid frame enhances structural integrity and voice-coil alignment, reducing distortion.
  • Recommended Amp (Pair): VFL COMOP 2K; designed to be paired with this amplifier for optimal power delivery and system matching.

In a real car audio build, the XFL 12" excels in a 2.0–2.5 ft³ ported enclosure and shines when paired with the VFL COMOP 2K amplifier, delivering the designed 1000W RMS with solid impedance options for flexible system design. The combination of a 200 oz magnet, 3" voice coil, and cast basket provides durable, controlled bass under high-excursion conditions, making it a robust choice for enthusiasts seeking loud, accurate low-end in a street-legal setup.

Power-matched options for one subwoofer or one complete loaded enclosure. We aim to include same-brand choices when their ratings qualify.

Loading amplifier suggestions…

Suggestions use 75–125% of the subwoofer’s RMS rating at the wiring load shown. Check wiring, enclosure needs, electrical capacity and installation space. Set gain and filters correctly to avoid overpowering the subwoofer. Buying more than one subwoofer changes the match.
