5512-22 12" DVC 2-Ohm Car Audio Subwoofer

The MTX 5512-22 steps up to a 12 inch cone while keeping the same 400 watt RMS / 800 watt peak rating as its 10 inch counterparts, giving it more air displacement for the same power input. It is wired as a dual 2-ohm voice coil subwoofer, and its Inverted Apex surround increases the cone's usable surface area over a traditional half-roll design, translating into higher SPL at a given wattage.

Spider Plateau Venting and a radial ribbed t-yoke form the subwoofer's cooling system, directing air at the voice coil and pulling heat through the yoke during long, loud sessions. A progressive suspension keeps cone excursion under control as power climbs, so bass stays defined instead of breaking up. At 6.188 inches of mounting depth, the 5512-22 fits a 1.0 cu ft sealed enclosure for tighter bass or a 2.32 cu ft vented box for more output, giving installers a choice depending on whether the priority is accuracy or SPL. It is a solid single-subwoofer option for anyone stepping up from a 10 inch sub without moving into full competition territory.
