Earthquake Sound's 12" SZ-12 Subzero series subwoofer has a look like no another woofer around. One look at this woofer and you know that it means business and that it was manufactured to stand the test of time. With 1000 watts RMS this Dual 4 ohm woofer will offer an unbelievable amount of bass, at a crisp, clean, and precise rate.

after hearing this sub, its pretty obvious why they call this brand Earthquake. This thing moves more than any other 1000w 12" ive ever seen, and DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, check the specs!!!! plus a 5 year warranty! the basket is real quality metal, not cheap chrome paint like you find on crappier subs! The bass is super tight and way more accurate than any SPL woofer ive ever heard. DAMN.
