About the Sony XS-L121P5
Sony's imaginative "pentagonal" woofer brings big bass output to your sound system. Its five-sided design controls standing waves that can detract from sound quality. Plus, the polypropylene cone is more rigid, so it can handle serious bass without losing its shape.
This sharp-looking sub features a longer, four-layer, edge-wound voice coil for improved power handling. An all-aluminum voice coil former controls distortion by dissipating heat, while the triple-layered spider provides excellent cone suspension.
The XS-L121P5 12" subwoofer handles up to 350 watts RMS, and works well in sealed or ported enclosures.

Features
Enclosure Compatibility
P5 Cone Design: This woofer has a five-sided polypropylene cone. This design stiffens the cone, resulting in lower distortion and higher power handling.
Foamed Rubber Surround: The foamed rubber surround provides high power handling, enhanced cone control and flexibility. "Hash Marks" in the surround provide added stability.
P5 Center Cap: The five-sided dust cap adds strength to the cone assembly.
Inner Cap: The inner cap at the top of the voice coil former stabilizes the former's "roundness" and strengthens the connection between the cone and the former.
Dual Dampers: Three-layer woven dampers provide enhanced cone control and have the lead wires woven in to prevent shorting to the frame.
Four-layer Voice Coil: The four-layer, edge-wound voice coil provides plenty of copper to pass the current necessary for high power reliability.
Binding Posts: The gold-plated binding posts will accept bare wire, pin connectors, spade lugs and banana plugs. The binding posts are spaced too far apart to accept dual banana plugs.
Enclosure Compatibility: This woofer can provide extended bass in sealed and ported enclosures (please see the "Enclosure Compatibility" section for more information on the recommended enclosures).
Recommended Sealed Box Volume: Sony recommends mounting this woofer in a sealed enclosure with an internal volume of 1.0 cu/ft.
Recommended Ported Box Volume: Sony recommends mounting this woofer in a ported enclosure with an internal volume of 1.58 cu/ft. A ported enclosure with an internal volume of 1.58 cu/ft uses one 3" diameter x 8" long port.

These subs are awesome. Ive had my two subs for 4 years. They are in a nice sealed box and each has 1000 watts to them. They are still smooth and work perfect. Shame they are discontinued i wish i could afford 2 more.
