P1222

I have one in my trunk of my car in a big ported box and it bumps hard. The best 12 i eva had thats 400 watts.

Beast!!!

Wow, this thing really sounds good!! I have one of these and a crunch 1500.1 mono amp. i can flex my roof like 2 inches!!! It handles all of the power easily, my box is tuned to about 28 hertz. I am very impressed with this subwoofer.

HOLY SH*T

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!

nice!!!!

I am running one of these in a 3.2 ft. box tuned to 30 hz powered by a 2400 watt volfenhag amp. The bottom line is the rated power for the sub is way underrated with phenominal output. just wish i could get two more!

Good sub

I contacted JBL and the comment in the previous review about this sub being 400W per coil. This is not true. The JBL P1222 has a total RMS of 400W. Hope this helped

this woofers hit

If i was you i will get this subwoofer just because its a 400 rms woofers most people think its weak i had a p3,hx2,pionner 1000 rms woofer those woofers died on me im feeding 1200 rms to 800 rms woofers and they take it like a champ if you live in the san diego area and want to check them out hit me up soloboy_619@hotmail.com

great sound

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!!

pretty good!

not as great as people say

I'm really rather disappointed with this. can't stand to listen to metal with it because every time they do like a double pedal bass drum it doesn't respond fast enough to discern separate hits of the drum. when it comes to rap its adequate, but it bottoms out at too high of a tone. my old rockford fosgate p3 hit much much lower. also the frame on this thing is way too big for a twelve i can't put it in a lot of boxes because the part you screw into the box hangs over the edges of the box. I've never had that problem with any other sub.
so all in all i guess its ok but there's much better options for about the same price. probably gonna get rid of mine and get a jl w7 or something

Bumpin, Thumpin, and Slammin.

I own 2 of these bad boys on a 2000w JBL monoblock and they POUND, I have them in an undersized sealed enclosure and they still hit just as hard or harder than anyone around, I would recommend these subs for anyone who wants to POUND HARD and have amazing sound quality, I have friends that have loud systems but they dont have the deep rumble that my system has. If you plan on buying these sub's note that they are 400w rms and 1600 peak PER COIL so thats 800w rms and 3200 peak per sub, I talked to a JBL employee to find that out, the only downfall for these subs is the mounting rim, it is 14-5/8" from side to side which makes it difficult to find a box thats the right size and fits the subs right, other than that little discrepancy these subs are amazing, and you can get them for a steal here at sonic. Expect nothing less than AWESOME from JBL.
