December 12, 2011 Amazing Subwoofer!

I'm running this at 1 ohm in a sealed 1.2 cuft 1.5" thick MDF enclosure with cotton fiber lined interior walls. The output is incredible. My previous woofer was $10 poly cone Dual 12" in a ported enclosure. The JBL P1222 puts out so much more sound that i had to turn the gain and bass boost down to zero. The 97db sensitivity is for real. It's in my computer room and has no problem shaking the entire house. It's powered by an older US Amps XT1000D amp at 15 volts. I can only imagine what this powerhouse would do in a car. My P1222 plays with some 1980s JBL tower speakers that have 10" ported woofers. The P1222 by itself has so much more bass output than the two towers that i can hardly believe it. Together it sounds amazing for classic rock, rap, Starcraft 2, anything. Buy this sub, and buid a very strong box for it.

I would strongly recommend this sub. I just bought one today; placed it into a 2.0 cu. ft. ported box and HOLY BASS! This woofer sounds great. The lows are extremely accurate and, did i mention LOW? I have it underpowered at approx. 250 rms. I've herd basically everything out there and for 200 dollars you CANNOT beat this. My 1 12 alone hits lower and harder then my 2010 Kicker Comp 15s (no joke) Enjoy!

I have two of these subs in a custom ported box in a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. I have them running @ 2 ohms on a mtx jh2400 and they sound great. I have never heard subs hit this hard and sound this clean.
They are a bit bulky for a 12 but if you have the room for them buy them. Great product!!
