BOSS Audio Systems CXX12 12” 1000 W Car Subwoofer - Single 4 Ohm Voice

A new subwoofer must go through a short but important process of “break-in” before it is run under harsh conditions. The “break-in” process will ensure the subwoofer is able to perform as it has been designed to.

This process involves subjecting the subwoofer to no more than low-to-medium volume levels for a number of hours in the enclosure. 3-4 hours is generally sufficient for the subwoofer’s suspension to loosen enough to prevent the voice coil(s) from overheating and causing failure.

The break-in period is also effective in extending subwoofer life. Over-driving the woofer before it has been properly broken-in will usually result in premature failure and poor performance.

Polypropylene is a resilient and durable manufactured material. It allows for maximum flexibility that produces great sounding subwoofers.

Impermeable to air, rubber has the ability to endure or resist exposure to the many types of weather fronts. Rubber has many different applications. We use it for the surrounds in a many of our subwoofers to connect the cone to the basket.

Capable of performing under higher-than-normal degrees with less prone to the fatigue, in turn increasing the performance and efficiency of heavy duty play time.

The CXX12 is designed to work in a medium sized sealed or ported enclosure. Since the woofer has pole-vent, it needs a minimum clearance from the rear wall of the enclosure of 0.75 {19 mm). The dimensions to the enclosures are made to suit the subwoofer’s needs, and designed for maximum output while retaining great sound quality. The dimensions have already accounted for the volume displacement of the subwoofer, and using 3/4 {19mm) MDF. All dimensions are external.
