Thank you for purchasing the Phoenix Gold Elite.12 subwoofer. Featuring 60mm of peak to peak
excursion, this monster’s 3.0” voice coil is engineered with a vented Titanium/Aluminum Hybrid former
that is extremely light, rigid and capable of handling 1600w RMS. The dual spider system keeps the
ultra long voice coil centered to eliminate any motor vibrations and losses. It also provides the perfect
mechanical force for the moving assembly of the cone and voice coil, so the end result is smooth
effortless output even during massive excursion or extreme power. The motor has undergone full FEA
optimization that allows the motor force to remain consistent over a wide range of power and excursion
levels. Whether you want to hear intricate bass notes or deliver massive wind shield shattering dynamic
output, the Elite.12 is over-built and over-engineered to get the job more than done.
