Wāvtech thinPRO12 – Shallow-Mount 12" Subwoofer for Deep Bass

Wāvtech thinPRO12 – High-Performance Shallow-Mount Subwoofer

The Wāvtech thinPRO12 is a 12-inch shallow-mount subwoofer designed to deliver deep, powerful bass in space-limited installations. With an ultra-thin 3-inch mounting depth, it fits where traditional subwoofers cannot. Engineered for high excursion, durability, and efficiency, the thinPRO12 provides tight, impactful bass without compromising performance.

Compact Design with Maximum Performance

The thinPRO12 is built with aerospace-grade materials to maintain a lightweight yet rigid structure. Its honeycomb Nomex® and glass fiber cone minimize distortion while ensuring long-lasting durability. The nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) surround and dual NBR spiders support over 2 inches of peak-to-peak excursion, allowing it to perform like a larger subwoofer. A 5-inch, 4-layer voice coil on a vented polyimide composite former handles 750W RMS (2250W peak power), delivering clean, powerful bass. This subwoofer is designed to work efficiently in both sealed and ported enclosures, giving flexibility in tuning.

Optimized for Space-Limited Installations

With a 3-inch mounting depth, the thinPRO12 fits in tight spaces such as under-seats, behind panels, or in custom enclosures. The cast-aluminum basket provides a rigid foundation while maintaining a lightweight structure for secure mounting. Eight-gauge push terminals ensure a strong connection, reducing signal loss for better sound quality. The device adapts to different system requirements and is designed for both sealed and ported enclosures. The optional TP12G protective grille helps safeguard the subwoofer from damage in exposed installations.

Engineered for High-Power Handling

With its 750W RMS (2250W peak) power rating, the thinPRO12 is built to handle extreme conditions. The large voice coil and vented pole piece efficiently dissipate heat, preventing thermal overload during extended play. A custom suspension system allows the cone to move freely while maintaining stability at high excursion levels. The subwoofer's high power capability means it can handle deep bass frequencies without distortion, ensuring clarity at all volume levels. This makes it ideal for both daily drivers and competition-grade audio setups.

Versatile Enclosure Compatibility

The thinPRO12 is designed for both sealed and ported enclosures, providing flexibility for different bass preferences. A sealed enclosure between 0.4 to 1.0 cubic feet is recommended for tight, accurate bass. A ported enclosure between 0.8 to 1.5 cubic feet is ideal if higher output and deeper bass are preferred. The recommended tuning frequency for a ported box is 34Hz, ensuring deep and controlled low-end response. It integrates easily with various amplifier setups with both 2-ohm and 4-ohm configurations available.
