5512-44 12" DVC 4-Ohm Car Audio Subwoofer

The MTX 5512-44 is a 12 inch dual voice coil subwoofer wired for 4 ohms, rated for 400 watts RMS and 800 watts peak. Its Inverted Apex surround widens the cone's usable surface area for more output per watt than a traditional half-roll design, and Spider Plateau Venting paired with a radial ribbed t-yoke manages heat at the voice coil during extended play.

A progressive suspension keeps excursion under control as power increases, so bass stays defined rather than breaking up at higher volume. At 6.188 inches of mounting depth, the 5512-44 fits a 1.0 cu ft sealed enclosure for tighter, more accurate bass or a 2.32 cu ft vented box when the goal is maximum output. Its 4-ohm wiring makes it a straightforward fit for amplifiers built around a 4-ohm load, and it is a solid single-subwoofer option for stepping up from a 10 inch sub without moving into full competition territory.
