Product Overview

Make room for deep bass in a tighter installation with the DS18 IXS12.4S shallow 12-inch subwoofer. This 4-ohm, single voice coil subwoofer handles 800W RMS and 1600W maximum power, with a 4.33-inch mounting depth for space-conscious car audio builds.

Key Features & Benefits

• Shallow-mount design: The 4.33-inch depth gives you more placement options in compact spaces.
• High power handling: 800W RMS and 1600W maximum handling suit builds planned around those ratings.
• Low-frequency response: Its 20–600 Hz frequency response covers a broad range of bass frequencies.
• Durable materials: An aluminum basket, ferrite magnet, and stitched rubber surround form the subwoofer’s construction.
• Sealed-enclosure guidance: A minimum volume of 28 L / 1 ft³ gives you a clear starting point for enclosure planning.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Product?

The IXS12.4S is designed for car audio installations where enclosure space is limited but bass output still matters. Its shallow profile can help you plan around restricted mounting areas, including trunks or under-seat spaces, while its stated sealed-enclosure volume and F3 give you useful reference points for a real build.

The 4-ohm impedance and 85 dB sensitivity help you assess how the subwoofer may fit into your amplifier and system plan. Match the amplifier to the subwoofer’s power and impedance ratings when choosing components.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Check the available mounting area against the 4.33-inch mounting depth, 10.79-inch front cutout, and 12.6-inch overall diameter. Allow for the stated 0.93 L displacement when planning enclosure volume.

For a sealed enclosure, the stated minimum volume is 28 L / 1 ft³. Confirm your amplifier supports a 4-ohm load and plan around the subwoofer’s 800W RMS power handling.
