15 reviews4.8/5 averageUpdated Mar 15, 2026

What buyers praise

  • Punchy, deep bass despite shallow mounting depth
  • Very shallow mounting fits under seats and tight cargo areas

What to watch for

  • Performs best with specific enclosure volume — one reviewer prefers about 1.1 cu ft (others used larger/ported boxes), so confirm box specs for your application
Overview

A slim-profile 12" subwoofer engineered to deliver deep bass where traditional, deeper drivers won’t fit. The T1S2-12 pairs a single 2-ohm voice coil with a long-excursion, slotted voice coil assembly and dual spiders to maintain strong low-end performance in shallow enclosures.

Best for

  • Installations with limited mounting depth
  • Customers who want a 12" subwoofer without a deep enclosure
  • Setups that benefit from a single 2-ohm voice coil for simpler wiring

Key points

  • Slimline 12" design for reduced mounting depth
  • Single 2-ohm voice coil simplifies wiring configurations
  • Dual asymmetric aligned spiders for enhanced bass control across low frequencies
  • Slotted voice coil assembly engineered for long excursion travel
  • Available in sealed and ported options to suit different enclosure choices
  • Technologies: FlexFit Basket, CEA-2031 compliance, Klippel Verified, Inductive Damping Heat Sink, Anodized Aluminum Voice Coil Former, Stitched Tinsel Leads

Fit and use

Intended for vehicles or installations where standard-depth subwoofers cannot be accommodated. Choose sealed or ported enclosure options based on desired bass character and available space. Sold individually (1 each); match the subwoofer with an appropriate amplifier and enclosure design for best performance.

What to know

Performance depends on enclosure type, amplifier power, and system tuning—refer to full specifications for exact electrical and enclosure requirements. The T1S2-12 is designed to approximate traditional Power T1 performance in a shallower package; consult technical resources for details before purchase.

Manufacturer details

Perfect Fit – Available in multiple options, including sealed and ported options, these subwoofers make it easy to find the perfect fit for any installation, no matter the space.

Additional details

Need bass but don't have a lot of space?  How about more power handling than your average shallow subwoofer? Well, the T1 "Slimline" subwoofers are not your average shallow, in fact, they have been painstakingly designed to near exact performance characteristics of traditional sized Power T1 subwoofers you're already familiar with.

We're calling these "slim" subwoofers because they don't take a lot of depth and offer bass response similar to a traditional sized model.  How can this be true? Well, let's just say the Wizards-of-Fos engineered an ingenious slotted voice coil assembly that exhibits long excursion travel. Don't worry, you don't need to understand it, you just have to listen to how awesome they sound!
