  • Key Specs
    • RMS Power: 1200 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
    • Peak Power Handling: 2500 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
    • Impedance: 2 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 25 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

  • Owner's manual

Q: Does this speaker call for a vented box or none vented also the specs for the box needed ?

A: Can use either style box. 1.0 Cub Ft sealed, 1.75 Cub Ft Ported.

Q: Can this speaker handle being hooked up 1ohm??

A: Yes, the sub doesn't care about ohms. Also, power rating for the sub will be the same regardless of how many ohms it is wired at. The amp hooked up to it will be the determining factor as to if 1 ohms is safe or not.

Q: Will 2 of these work fine with a 2500w Xplode amp or do I need more or less power?

A: Yes, they will work, you may have to rewire it to make the ohm load higher, depended on the model amp's capabilities. Will you be pushing them to the max? No, the opposite actually. Will that damage the sub? Not at all

Q: Will this push 2 gothics? Audiopipe apmn 1500 2 channel

A: Not to the max. For cheap subs they are fire!!!!

Q: I have a Jbl 600a1 mono Amp. Will it work on two gothic 12s

A: Will be under powering them however it will work
