Product Overview
Add deep, controlled low-frequency sound to your car audio system with the AudioControl Spike Series 12-inch high-performance subwoofer. Available as the SPK-12S2 or SPK-12S4, it combines a fiber matrix paper cone with a mica coating, a high-temperature voice coil former, and dual damping features.
Choose a ported enclosure tuned to 39 Hz or a sealed enclosure for a different bass response and enclosure approach. A removable grille is included to cover the cone.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-excursion design: Substantial cone travel supports deep bass at high listening levels.
- Fiber matrix paper cone with mica coating: Stiffness and damping help control cone motion.
- Heat-ready voice coil construction: The 2.5-inch coil and three-layer high-temperature former are designed for demanding use.
- Dual damping and dual dust cap systems: These design features support cone control and help reduce enclosure-related compression.
- Removable grille: The included grille covers the cone in your installation.
