Know before you buy
For optimal performance, use a sealed enclosure of 0.5 cubic feet or a ported enclosure of 1.0 cubic feet.
The SA-Series v.2 is rated for 1250 Watts RMS, with a peak power handling of 2500 Watts. Ensure your amplifier is capable of delivering stable power within this range to get the best results.
This subwoofer has a mounting depth of 6.92 inches. Be sure to measure your enclosure or vehicle space to ensure it fits comfortably.
The choice depends on your amplifier's stable impedance and how you plan to wire your system. Choose the dual 2-ohm version if you want to wire to a 1-ohm or 4-ohm final load, or the dual 4-ohm version for a 2-ohm or 8-ohm final load.
The v.2 features a larger 2.75-inch voice coil for better heat management and a wider spider design. These upgrades allow for improved linear excursion and better motor force compared to the original model.
While it is built with competition-grade materials like a cast aluminum frame and high-temperature voice coil wire, it is designed to be durable enough for daily use. Its robust cooling features make it a reliable choice for high-output bass in everyday vehicles.
