**Parameters are AFTER break in. Elite.12 does not require any special break in procedure. 

One to two weeks of normal use will naturally break in the suspension of the driver.     

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.

FEATURES:
• 60mm of Peak to Peak Excursion
• Dual 4 and 2 Ohms Voice Coils 
• 3.0” Premium OFC Copper Wound Voice Coil
• Dual Long Throw Spider Suspension
• Woven Tinsel Leads
• Composite Material Hybrid Cone
• High Excursion CAE/CAD Motor Design
• Vented Titanium-Aluminum Hybrid Former
• One Piece Aluminum Plated Dustcap with Tri-Blue LEDs
• High Roll Butyl Rubber Surround
• Nickel Plated 12 Gauge Speaker Terminal
• Optimized for Sealed or Vented Enclosures
• Rigid Powder Coated Anti-Resonant Castbasket

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.
