GW3-12 | 2500W Gothic Series 2Ω Dual Voice-Coil Subwoofer

Power Acoustik GW3-12 Gothic Series 12" Subwoofer – High-Output Bass Engineered for Precision

The Power Acoustik GW3-12 is built to meet the demands of high-powered car audio systems seeking aggressive, distortion-free bass. As part of the renowned Gothic Series, this 12-inch subwoofer combines advanced materials and smart thermal engineering to deliver performance that’s not just loud—but accurate.

Reinforced Flax Fiber Cone for Bass Accuracy

Unlike traditional subwoofer designs, the GW3-12 uses a twisted and woven flax fiber cone, designed to minimize flex and distortion at high excursion. These torsion-strengthened fibers are bonded with epoxy, marrying the sonic benefits of natural pulp paper with structural resilience. This means tight bass hits and deep, well-defined low-end reproduction, even under heavy load.

Extended Excursion Surround for Deep Low-Frequency Response

The subwoofer’s NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) surround offers durability and flexibility under extreme cone movement. This high-temp, automotive-grade material ensures consistent performance without compromising on excursion depth, critical for subwoofers tuned to deliver ultra-low frequencies.

Overcast Stitched Cone Assembly for Longevity

The GW3-12 cone is not just glued—its surround is double overcast stitched directly to the flax fiber surface. This heavy-duty mechanical bonding minimizes the chance of separation during peak performance, ensuring that the cone maintains shape and sonic accuracy over time.

Intelligent Thermal Management with Vented Motor Design

Designed for continuous output at high power levels, the GW3-12 features a vented backplate and T-yoke system. These strategically placed thermal vents in the motor structure, including the voice coil and aluminum former, help dissipate heat during intense usage. The result: greater thermal efficiency, improved power handling, and fewer thermal failures.

High-Powered OFC Voice Coil for Clean Power Delivery

At the heart of the subwoofer is a 2.5-inch 4-layer OFC copper voice coil, wound on a vented aluminum former. This setup allows the sub to handle up to 2,500 watts peak power and 1,200 watts RMS, maintaining tight coil control and clean signal response. Whether wired for daily driving or competition SPL setups, this coil architecture supports stability and power without saturation.
