XL-1244 12-Inch 400W Car Subwoofer | Safe and Sound

The XL-1244 is the largest subwoofer in PowerBass’s XL Series, a 12-inch driver built for deep, powerful, room-filling bass. Rated at 400W RMS with an 800W maximum and reaching down to 26 Hz, its big cone moves a lot of air for serious low end. At Safe and Sound we have spent over 30 years building bass systems, and the XL-1244 is a great-value way to get genuine 12-inch impact into your vehicle.

Maximum bass from the XL range

With the biggest cone area in the XL line-up, the XL-1244 is the choice when you want the most output and the deepest extension. PowerBass designed the XL Series for extended low frequency response, and this 12-inch model digs all the way down to 26 Hz. A proprietary non-pressed paper cone with a DDC coating delivers smooth, natural bass with low distortion even at high output, while a large-roll Santoprene surround lets the cone move freely for real impact.

Built to stay cool and last

Bass puts heat through a voice coil, so the XL-1244 is built to manage it. A 2-inch vented BASV voice coil former, combined with perimeter and pole Aero-Vent cooling, keeps air circulating to keep temperatures down on long, loud sessions. The non-resonant polycarbonate and glass-fibre turbine-style basket supports dual stack magnets and an extended dome backplate for solid, reliable performance, and chrome push terminals ensure strong current transfer from your amplifier.

Sealed or ported, your choice

The XL-1244 is optimised to perform well in both sealed and ported enclosures. A sealed box delivers tight, accurate bass, while a ported box adds output and impact for a louder, more dramatic low end, so you can tailor the build to the sound you are after and the space you have.
