Description


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.

Awesome subs

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.

way under rated

i know these things say there only rated at 300 watts rms but id be willing to say its closer to 600 cause i ran one of these in a ported box on 900 watts rms daily for hours at a time for about 2 months before it finaly gave out. sound quality is awesome i would recommend for any one great woofer. i have 4 15" versions now on a hifonics brutus brz-1700

Excellent subwoofer

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.

Beats both my Tornado Kenwood 12's

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.

Warm Boom

Before I bought this sub i spent a month and half researching subs. I've read nothing but good things about this sub. So when i hooked mines up i had high expectations and it met them. Goes low, hits cleans, and most of all is just a warm sound coming out of it. I listen to a wide range of sound and it brings it every time. I'll say the same thing i've seen in countless other reviews. I can only wonder what the G5 sounds like. I run a single sub system and i can be heard pretty far away if thats' your thing. Im a audiophile so i'm all about listening experience and this sub has raised my standard for sound.

boston g2-jl w3`s 12`s

This sub is just the best sub on earth. boston acoustic g2 is amazing for simple reasons really the sub can never blow. it has fuses on the sub so they pop before your voice coils do, very important important when tight on money. subs maybe need 100 watts to make this baby knock. or if u got a nice 300 rms amp don't be afraid to turn that amp up sub can handle it and will show for it. i had just the one boston g2 in a 32 ht ported box prefect i am a bass freak it was exactly what i was looking for got the sub on ebay brand new for 60$ half price from here but still wanted to comment of how great the sub really is. but like i said i am bass freak so i ended getting a sicker setup in two 12 jl w3s in a jl prowedge box with the g2 all 3 running off a rockford fosgate 300.1 tested in a db run at 148.

Great product

This is a great sub for the price. It started off slow, but after a month it bangs louder than the two MTX subs I had before. don't be afraid to push it.

Looking forward to picking up a G3 at some point.

Great subwoofer

I have this subwoofer in my 1996 grand am and it is hooked up to a profile 1000 watt monoblock that puts out about 600 watts and it sounds great. It's not broken in yet but I can only imagine what it will sound like. I can turn the bass down and listen to super clean bass or I can crank it up and let it bang with the best of them. This subwoofer is worth its weight in gold, to me!! I have heard several subwoofers and i could not make up my mind on what I wanted, I finally decided to go with this one cause I have heard nothing but good news about it, and it was worth it. If you get one you will not be disappointed. I can't wait to get the new boston acoustic g5 when they re-design it.

WOW!

I just bought This Boston G212-44 sub in a G-tuned box and all I can say is wow! I was on a tight budget, so I paired this package with an Alpine mrp-500 monoblock and it sounds so good. The amp puts out more than enough power. This sub hits the lows very well, and will boom when you need it to. The bass is so tight and clean i can\'t get over it. I would take this subwoofer over the JL W3 any day!
