Reference 1200S


Low-Profile Design

Because today’s compact cars offer less space, the Infinity Reference Subwoofers are designed to fit into small enclosures. They’re slim, sleek, stylish, and don’t sacrifice on sound.


Harman-Proprietary SSITM (Selectable Smart Impedance)

Unlike most dual-voice coil woofers, which provide either 1 or 4 ohms or 2 or 8 ohms, the Infinity Reference Subwoofers allow the listener to 2-ohm and 4-ohm at the flip of a switch, providing the two most often used impedances from a single woofer. This allows the system designer unparalleled flexibility in extracting every last watt from your amplifier without compromising stability and thermal safety margins.


Frequency Response As Low as to 27Hz

Your audio is filled with delicious sounds. Unfortunately, you’re not always hearing them all. With lows that dig down into the depths of 27Hz, you’ll hear the low-end frequencies you’ve been missing.


OEM-Level Reliability Testing

Infinity tests every speaker design to the same rigid specifications as the automakers, subjecting them to extreme conditions that would break lesser speakers. We freeze them, bake them, shake them, blast them with ultraviolet light and drive them at full power for days to make sure your audio investment lasts for years.

Slim subs big bass best bang for the buck.

I would absolutely recommend Infinity Reference REF1200s they require less than a cubic foot of air space. I am very impressed with these subs, the box I have them mounted in is 4.5" wide. They bump very hard I love them. I have them set at 4 ohms on a 250 watt rms amp. They do exactly what I was hoping for. Great value great product. I was skeptical of slim subs in general but being that I have a crew cab Silverado I had limited space to work with. The mirror actually vibrates and I can feel the bass hit. More than I expected for sure.

Great Subwoofer

This subwoofer hits harder than I thought it would. I was looking for great overall sound, not overkill. This subwoofer worked out perfect for my application.

Great subwoofers

These subs sound amazing. They shake the truck and hit hard. For shallows I am extremely impressed. 2 12" with a JL 500 watt amp matches them perfectly. Would recommend for awesome sound.

Solid sub

Good sound and doesn't require alot of power, but most importantly to me fits nicely under back seat of my double cab tundra.
