Description

Powerbass XL-1244 is a 12-inch, 4-ohm subwoofer featuring a large roll Santoprene surround and 400W RMS (800W max) handling, built for serious bass in compact sealed or ported enclosures. Car audio enthusiasts will appreciate its rugged construction and enclosure versatility for tight, hard-hitting low end.

  • Surround: Large Roll Santoprene surround for durable excursion and controlled cone motion under heavy playback.
  • Cone material: Proprietary non-pressed paper with DDC coating to improve stiffness and damping in real use.
  • Voice coil: 2.0" vented BASV voice coil former for high excursion and effective heat management.
  • Cooling & vents: Perimeter Aero-Vent cooling vents help dissipate heat during demanding sessions.
  • Basket: Proprietary non-resonance polycarbonate/glass fiber basket minimizes enclosure coloration.
  • Enclosure compatibility: Optimally designed for both small sealed or ported enclosures, offering installation flexibility.
  • Cutout & mounting depth: Cutout diameter 11 1/16" (281mm); mounting depth 5.75" to fit shallower enclosures.
  • Xmax: 8 mm of peak linear travel for extended bass before distortion.
  • Sensitivity: 86.78 dB (1W/1M), indicating solid output with moderate amplifier power.
  • Frequency range: 26 Hz – 300 Hz for deep bass extension and musical responsiveness.

In a compact build, the XL-1244 delivers deep, controlled bass thanks to its Santoprene surround, high-excursion voice coil, and rigid basket. The 186 oz magnet provides strong motor strength to help control the cone at higher levels, while the 4-ohm load and 400W RMS rating give you headroom with a wide range of amplifiers. Its enclosure-friendly design and low-cutout requirements simplify integration without compromising performance.

Recommended Monoblock Amplifiers

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.
