Great "Boom" For The Buck!

With 1000 watts of peak power handling and 250 watts RMS, the JBL CS Series CS1214 subwoofer handles a serious amount of power. Some of its great features include a frequency response of 35Hz – 200Hz which enables you to hear the wide bass range that you’ve always wanted. And with a sensitivity of 90dB, it provides for better performance at lower power levels. The woofer cone is polypropylene and very light, ensuring maximum performance and efficiency. JBL also uses a progressive spider on the CS Series, which offers better control at the excursion limits, rather than the linear spider commonly used by other manufacturers. This helps reduce distortion even at the highest output levels.



The Sound of quality

Sonic Electronix, one of the leaders in car audio, recently visited Harman, the premium global audio and infotainment group, at their research and development locations in Northridge, California and Detroit, Michigan. The purpose of these visits was to utilize and combine the powerful brand of Harman and the industry leading knowledge behind Sonic Electronix to begin working together on developing future car audio projects.

jbl cs 1214 is great

These speakers are just simply amazing I was ultra surprised at how loud they are compared to other speakers and I would recommend these to anyone really just an amazing product they are worth way more than they are selling for.

Exceeded Expectations

Running two of these in a sealed box and they really surprised my how good they sound. I wasn't expecting much but they do get pretty loud and low. I'm giving them 500 watts rms to share so the power is perfect for their capability. For a budget sub they're perfect. They're 12's and they sound like 12's. I only wish they had better terminal connectors.

JBL Are The Truth

These JBL subs are just AWSOME! I'm using them in a vintage pair of JBL L100T's. The original woofers deteriorated over time which I purchased over 30 years ago. I had them reconed once and they deteriorated again. I caught a deal on a pair of Kicker Comps which I purchased and caught a deal, buy one and one free for $99. The where ok but could not hit the low bass I was looking for. I'm pushing these speakers with vintage NAD 2155 in 4 ohm mode. I then put a pair of Alpine Type R in the Jbl cabinets. They hit pretty good which I thought was great until I purchased these JBL-CS1214. Man do these subs sound like the original woofers. These bad boys slam. I mean they really slam and the low bass I was looking for was there. I ended up playing every cd in my collection all over again and even the NewSchool music with all the strong low bass was a joy to listen to. I sold the Kickers and the Alpines and I will buy another pair of these JBL'S to put in my pickup truck when I restore it. Trust me when I say that these JBL'S are the truth.

Great subs

I like these subs you don't need a huge amp to get deep and heavy bass out of them. I have them in a ported box with a Sony classD amp at 500w RMS at 1/2 gain to break them in and they slam. I like the look of these subs no chessy plastic or rubber on the magnets and cone. They have a big JBL 1000watt on them to let you know they mean business and let me tell you they do. I would recommend these for anyone.

JBL CS1214

I have installed these in 4425 studio speaker cabinets, they of course are not meant for that environment tons of low end , at an awesome price. They look awesome, Pushing them with a Kenwood home stereo from the early 90's running 100 w RMS and they could easily take double that.

In love with these subs

Bought one 12 inch cs1214 for my truck a long time ago, went through about 20 different set ups/systmes in my truck, and just recently i bought 4 12 inch cs1214's my trunk in my BMW. It bangs so hard! i love it, im so happy i came back to JBL. it definelty is a lot better than kicker, kenwood, jl, lanzar, planet audio, id recommend JBL to anyone who wants the best bass for their money, i have the best car system anyones ever heard around town, i shake the cars next to me at lights and im only giving 1 cubic foot of air for each subwoofer. the best bang for your buck

JBL all the way
