Polk db212-2 enclosed auto subwoofer
Date Published: 6/23/06
What could be better than a Polk Audio subwoofer? Two of them, of course! The db212-2 enclosed subwoofer combines a pair of 12-inch drivers in a substantial slot-loaded cabinet, creating a system that is not for the faint of heart.
The db212-2 features a cabinet with Polk's Power Port, which reduces port turbulence noise. The cabinet is made from 3/4-inch MDF that does an admirable job reducing resonance while providing a rich tone. Heavy ABS grills in an attractive wheel hub design cover the drivers. More than just a cosmetic feature, the grills protect the drivers from any potential damage.
Each long-throw driver employs a single voice coil with parallel wiring to create a nominal impedance of 2 ohms. The frequency response of this monster is listed as 20Hz to 200Hz, with a sensitivity of 91dB. The continuous power handling is a massive 720 watts.
The cones are made from polypropylene and the surrounds use Santoprene rubber, both of which are designed to withstand the harsh car interior environment of heat, cold, humidity, and sunlight, all of which will slowly but surely break down lesser materials.
The subwoofer enclosure is optimized for the drivers using the latest technologies, and the drivers themselves are designed with advanced laser analyzers to provide a smoother frequency response with very low distortion.
The Polk Audio db212-2 is a monster subwoofer with a big sound designed for a system with the power to make it roar.
