SMALL TERMINAL: LEDs
(+12v and Ground Only)
LARGE TERMINAL:
VOICE COIL
The Elite.12 has three terminals. The two larger terminals are
connected to the voice coils. The small terminal is used to
power the LEDs with a +12v and ground connection only.
DO NOT CONNECT AN AMPLIFIER’S SPEAKER OUTPUT TO THE
LED TERMINAL. It will damage the LEDs, this is not covered by
warranty. Only use +12v and ground to power the LEDs.

Power Handling Note:
The Elite.12’s recommended power range is 1200 to 1600 watts
RMS for normal use. Driving the woofer with significantly higher RMS
power will cause thermal failures (burnt voice coils) and will have no
audible increase in output. A subsonic filter is also required when
using a vented enclosure as it will increase reliability and perfomance
drastically.
