1000 Watts of car banging bass. The CXX12 is a 12 inch 4 OHm sub with a Sensitivity of 85 dBs. Reviews on this woofer stress breaking it in properly. This includes a 3-year warranty. Subwoofers are going to take the most physical beating of any component in an audio system because of how they’re used, so the warranty is a great vote of confidence from Boss Audio and it extends through all their woofers.
It has a 4-inch diameter and comes with all the mounting hardware needed. For the quality and price, it’s a nice deal.
Boss Audio CX122
Not to be confused with the CXX12, the CX122 offers 1400 watts of power. This comes with a 3-year warranty and a single 4 Ohm Voice coil. Rubber compliments the metal to give it a solid enclosure.
Besides being one of the strongest subs you can buy, it looks cool and has the weight of a part that inspires confidence along with their warranty. But the price blew us away, you get something super loud for super cheap. Just make sure you break in this woofer properly, it can take a little while.
Boss Audio P129DC
Capable of 2600 Watts, this Boss Audio P129DC is the big boy in this category. You can become that guy that rolls down the street and irritates soccer moms once you have a few of these crankin’. It has a poly composite housing and you’re gonna need a decent amplifier to feed it that delicious electricity it will require.
The 3-year warranty helps in case you blow this thing out. It’s double the price of previous options but double the power as well. The housing is well built including double stitching between the cone and the surrounding casing. Over 5″ of mounting depth required, so you’re going to need to find a nice cave for this guy to go in.
