The Power Acoustik Caliber CBW‑124 12" Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer delivers precision-engineered bass performance designed for clarity, reliability, and affordability. Tailored for modestly powered car audio systems, the CBW‑124 doesn't rely on oversized magnets or gimmicks. Instead, it focuses on refined acoustic engineering and the selection of durable components to produce a deep, low-frequency response without distortion.

At the heart of this 12-inch subwoofer is a molded polypropylene cone, selected for its rigidity and lightweight structure, which contributes to responsive bass with minimal breakup. Surrounding the cone is a butyl rubber surround, renowned for its longevity and ability to withstand vibration and wear over extended use.

The dual 4-ohm voice coils offer flexible wiring options and are wound on Kapton formers—a high-temperature material that facilitates consistent performance and thermal control during extended listening sessions. This is complemented by a vented T-yoke motor design, which helps dissipate heat and reduce power compression —a common issue in sealed or compact installations.

Engineered with a 6mm top plate, poly-cotton suspension, and stitched tinsel leads, this subwoofer is designed to withstand the test of time. It maintains performance integrity even under demanding playback conditions. The sensitivity rating of 85.3 dB and frequency response centered at 34.6 Hz (Fs) ensure that bass output is tight, controlled, and well-grounded in the lower frequency range most desired by enthusiasts.

With a peak power rating of 1,500 watts and RMS power handling of 500 watts, the CBW-124 strikes a balance between output and efficiency, making it an ideal match for entry- to mid-level amplifiers. Whether you're building a custom trunk enclosure or upgrading your factory system, this sub delivers impact without overburdening your power supply.

Designed under the Caliber series, the CBW‑124 maintains the Power Acoustik tradition of delivering value-oriented, performance-grade car subwoofers. It’s not just about sound—it’s about sustainable design, quality components, and engineering that respects both the listener and the equipment.

This model is perfect for those searching for:

  • 12-inch subwoofer for car audio
  • 1500-watt peak / 500-watt RMS subwoofer
  • dual 4-ohm voice coil sub
  • Power Acoustik Caliber 1500
  • low-frequency subwoofers with polypropylene cones
