Car Subwoofer JBL GT-12BP Review

The sound is slightly delayed due to the structural features of the case. But you quickly get used to it. It will not be possible to voice the street, but a back massage is provided in the salon Its pros: Bass is velvety. Speaker inside the case. There is no whistle from the phase inverter slot. Some cons: In winter, until the interior warms up, it’s as if it doesn’t exist. The angle of inclination does not match the angle of the seat.

With its pros. Very pleasant bass. I connected without an amplifier to the pioneer sph10bt, it allows you to do this. I thought it would not shake, but the Lada Urban salon was filled with a powerful clear sound. The JBL Club 6522 installed in the front doors did not provide the necessary depth and at the level of 40 out of 59 broke into a wheeze. With this subwoofer I cut off at clubs from 200 hertz, the sub cut off up to 250 - it sounds good! Got cons: Large for my configuration, I chose Lada

I use it for other purposes, for voice acting of a village disco. This sub + amplifier Kicx KAP-23 (I ADVISE!) + a converted computer power supply for 14.5 Volts 400 Watts + HF 10 GDV-4-16, MF 4A-32.

I chose between this and another bandpass subwoofer - Alpine SBG-1244BP. As a result, I bought both)) because. both found with good discounts. And I use them not in the car, but indoors. They work with a 350W amplifier - Kicx AR 1.350, which is even a little extra power for them. Not once have I dared to turn them on to the fullest. Already somewhere at 30% of the power, all free-standing objects begin to ring and rattle, then I begin to worry about the structural integrity of the building…

The sub is essentially a midbass with increased efficiency achieved due to the increased size of the resonant chambers. A slightly worse result is easily achieved with a 3 times smaller volume on a phase inverter. Honest power is 212 watts. The indicated 300 from the passport is the root mean square power, not the nominal one. The height of the polypropylene speaker cone is almost sufficient to compensate for its bending, but it would be better if it was made of paper, since these resonances…

Its pros: Clear juicy bass! After this subwoofer, you don’t even want to listen to something else! Its cons: Good vibration isolation is a must! otherwise your car will fall apart from the vibrations!

If you use it in a car, then I think it will be great, but if you use it at home, I recommend that you independently calculate and assemble the box for the speaker you are going to use (as I did)
