What's a component sub and why would I want one?

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.

Our take on the Diamond Audio S124

by Jo Greene
HEX sub

Reinventing shallow subs

Space is at a premium in your vehicle, but you don't want to settle for wimpy bass. Diamond Audio engineered HEX subwoofers with sports cars, trucks, and compact vehicles in mind--they left conventional compact subwoofers in the dust, and redesigned shallow-mount bass from the ground up. So, drop this HEX Series S124 12" woofer in your ride, and next time you're cruising the town, you'll hear full, satisfying bass that makes for a very entertaining drive.


Revolutionary front-mount motor assembly

motor cutaway

Most conventional shallow-mount subwoofers place a compact motor assembly at the back end of the woofer to save space. Diamond Audio saw the space in front of the woofer cone as an opportunity to use a bigger, more powerful motor assembly, allowing them to use a conventional cone and surround. As a result, these subs can deliver stronger performance than most shallow-mount subwoofers.


Woven carbon-fiber cone

Diamond Audio uses a unique pressurizing technique to create highly rigid, lightweight carbon fibers woven together to form an exceptionally responsive cone. The front-mount motor assembly leaves room for HEX subwoofers to employ a high-quality stabilizing spider and a deeper cone shape comparable to conventional-design subs, so this sub can push more air with more control, for heavier, more accurate lows.


Non-resonant aluminum basket

Frame profile

The cast aluminum basket gives this sub the stable foundation it needs to deliver faithful, uncolored bass. Diamond Audio's proprietary O2 casting technique creates a denser, less porous basket that virtually eliminates unwanted resonance, so your favorite music sounds just as the artist intended.

    Our Product Research Team

    At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

    Features

    Shallow Mount Design: In order to build a more shallow subwoofer, the Diamond Audio HEX design places a neodymium motor structure (magnet) in front of the speaker cone. Since the cone geometry is not changed to reduce the depth, the HEX series subs maintain the same performance you expect from standard depth Diamond Audio subwoofers.

    Spring-Post Terminals: The spring-post terminals will accept pin connectors, single banana plugs, and bare wire up to 10-gauge.

    Sealed Enclosure: The recommended sealed box volume is 1.0 cubic feet.

    Vented Enclosure: The recommended vented box volume is 1.5 cubic feet with a 3" diameter, 8-3/4" long port; resulting in a tuning frequency of 34 Hz. A 30 Hz sub-sonic filter is recommended for vented enclosures.

    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I have this sub hooked up to a 210 watt amp and a sealed box and this thing pounds when I crank up the bass. It has my seat and mirror vibrating. I'm not an audiophile or anything but i think it sounds great. I've never bought an aftermarket sub before so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it is a HUGE upgrade from my two factory 6x9's. I've only had it for 2 days, so its not broken in and i can't say anything about quality, but its definitely built well.
