A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back. Sony launches some low-frequency magic with the XS-L1200B 12" subwoofer! This hardworking sub features a polypropylene cone that's light and rigid for accurate performance, with a treated foam surround that wards off damage from moisture and heat. The vented, 4-layer voice coil promotes good power handling (up to 200 watts RMS). This sub is designed to work best in a small sealed enclosure. Details: polypropylene cone foam surround 4-layer voice coil frequency response 22-2,500 Hz power range 50-200 watts RMS peak power handling 800 watts sensitivity 89 dB depth 4-15/16" recommended sealed box volume 1.0 cu. ft.
