PRV Audio 12MB1000FT-4 12" Midbass Loudspeaker
Features For high output speaker systems, PRV Audios 12MB1000FT-4 midbass is an excellent option capable of amazing performance. A great new addition to the Forte Series, where more power handling and less distortion on mid low mid bass frequencies is the key. All this attention to detail in the 12MB1000FT-4 makes it one impressive driver. With 97.5 dB efficiency and 1000 watts of continuous program power (RMS), this mid bass is ideally suited for car audio systems, making it easier to match a car audio amplifier to only 2 or 4 speakers wired in parallel. Also, its smooth response from 70 to 3,200 Hz makes it perfect for 2 or 3-way designs. Installation tips: 2x 12MB1000FT-4 wired in parallel to a SQ3500X at 2 Ohm 4x 12MB1000FT-4 wired in parallel to a SQ6000X at 1 Ohm Tuned with PRV DSP at HPF 100Hz at BT18 / LPF 3000Hz at BT18 Highlights 3? Inside/Out aluminum voice coil wound on fiberglass former for hi-temp performance, 4 Ohm Ventilated voice coil gap reduces power compression High Xmax for more Midbass output 1,000 watts continuous program power rating makes high acoustical output Excellent performance in 2-way or 3-way systems Weather-resistant paper cone and dust cap Also Available at 8 Ohm A rigid cast aluminum frame with narrow spokes to minimize reflections back into the cone. In addition, the frame includes force cooling system openings which allows airflow to cool the voice coil. To drive the voice coil, a large ferrite magnet with a very precise machined top and bottom plate has been used. The additional dual forced vent in the back plate of the coil allows this driver to handle up to 1000 watts RMS without issue. Features a special high strength pulp composition paper cone designed to achieve the best possible linearity within the middle frequency range, which, together with a protective cone treatment dedicated to enhancing the dampening properties of the moving assembly, considerably improves its smooth frequency response. The voice coil is wound on a 3? glass fiber with aluminum wire, keeping weight to a minimum for an incredibly quick transient response. Engineered with 17.5 mm of winding depth, this inside/outside voice coil provides excellent thermal and mechanical durability. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Nominal Diameter 12?
