Wāvtech thinPRO12 12” Professional Series Shallow Subwoofer

Product Overview

The Wāvtech thinPRO12 is a 12-inch professional-series shallow subwoofer for adding deep, controlled bass in tight vehicle spaces. Its 3-inch mounting depth, 750 watts RMS power handling, and 20 mm linear Xmax suit compact installations where cone movement and enclosure space matter.

Key Features & Benefits

• Shallow mounting depth: The 3-inch depth helps accommodate installations such as under-seat or compact cargo-area spaces.
• High-excursion design: More than 2 inches of peak-to-peak excursion and 20 mm linear Xmax support substantial cone travel.
• Large voice coil: The 5-inch coil and four-layer winding on a vented polymide composite former support heat dissipation during demanding playback.
• Rigid cone and suspension: A Honeycomb Nomex® and glass fiber cone pairs with a double-roll NBR surround and mirrored internal NBR spiders.
• Robust connections and frame: 8 AWG push terminals and a vented cast aluminum frame provide substantial electrical and mechanical hardware.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Product?

The thinPRO12 combines a shallow profile with a dual-gap motor structure designed for controlled, linear cone movement. Its cone and suspension components are intended to support large excursions while maintaining stability. That combination makes it a specific option for compact sealed or ported enclosures within the stated volume ranges.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Plan around the 3-inch mounting depth, the stated 11 1/8-inch (282 mm) dimension, and the standard 12-inch cutout. Confirm available space in your vehicle and enclosure before installation; vehicle fit depends on the space available. Pair the subwoofer with an amplifier capable of supporting its 750 watts RMS power handling.

Choose a sealed enclosure between 0.4 and 1.0 cu ft, or a ported enclosure between 0.8 and 1.5 cu ft. The stated optimum volumes are 0.6 cu ft sealed and 1.0 cu ft ported. The TP12G protective grille is sold separately.
