The G2 Boston Acoustics Experience

G212-44 subwoofers are great when looking for bass that won't over power you. With this subwoofer you will be able to experience a fuller sound when listening to your music at a level that is comfortable but still deep. The dual 4 ohm voice coil makes the subwoofers great for wiring a single subwoofer at 2 ohms or a pair of subwoofers at 1 ohm or 4 ohms final impedance. This makes them the perfect subwoofer for any application.

Boston Acoustics has built from their previous subwoofer to bring you their new G2 series subwoofers. These subwoofer are not only an improvement but stay true to the quality and performance that comes with Boston Acoustics products. Available in a 10", 12", and 15" size woofer along with the option of either a single 4 ohm voice coil or dual 4 ohm voice coil for multiple wiring options that better suits your personal needs. All G2 series subwoofers are equipped with Boston Acoustics specific technologies such as SureSet™ impedance selection that makes wiring easy and accurate as well as adds protection from overdrive to the voice-coil. G2 subs also feature a RadialVent® cooling system that decreases heat dissipation as well as distortion cause by thermal discharge. This improves the subwoofer's ability to perform at higher power handling levels while still producing quality bass output. All G2 series subwoofers feature a co-polymer woofer cone and foam surround for rigidity and increased excursion. So if you are looking for a subwoofer that can deliver deep bass, high sensitivity and long excursion, then the G2 series subwoofers are the perfect match at a competitive price.

I installled 2 dvc's in a box I built to 2 cu ft. and I am thoroughly impressed. Unreal lows even at high power levels yet still give great mid sound as well. I've put close to 400wrms of Rockford power to each and haven't given off signs of hating life yet. Underated for sure. Would advise single coils though to get the impedance down w/o needing 1 ohm stable amp. Excellent build quality. Highly recommend these subs.

Just installed the sub today in 1 cubic foot box, I have a jl XD700/5 giving this sub 300 clean watts and its amazing, the bass is nice, clean and tight. The construction of this sub is built to last, great quality. I love the SureSet impedance selection feature. This sub exceeded my expectations. Don't hesitate and buy it now.

This sub hits harder than both my Tornado Kenwood 12 inch subs. That's amazing and it also sounds better at a higher volumes as well as cleaner at lower frequencies. If I had two of these I think I could blow out my back window, but that would be no fun and I still want to keep my hearing. Awesome sub.
