Wāvtech thinPRO12 – Shallow-Mount 12 inch Subwoofer

Revolutionary Excursion Technology

The ThinPRO12 features Wavtech's patent-pending design that enables over 2 inches of peak-to-peak excursion from a subwoofer with only a 3-inch mounting depth. This is achieved through a sophisticated dual mirrored NBR spider configuration and axial force transfer assembly that allows for extended cone movement without sacrificing control or linearity. The result is bass response that remains tight and accurate even at high output levels.

Advanced Motor Structure

The subwoofer utilizes an FEA (Finite Element Analysis) optimized dual-gap motor structure with double-stacked strontium magnets. This design maximizes flux density and provides precise control throughout the subwoofer's entire range of motion. With 20mm of linear Xmax, the ThinPRO12 maintains consistent performance even during demanding bass passages.

Composite Honeycomb Cone

Unlike traditional paper or polymer cones, the ThinPRO12 features a specialized honeycomb design made from composite Nomex® and glass fiber. This construction creates an extremely strong yet lightweight diaphragm that resists flexing and distortion even under high power. The result is cleaner, more accurate bass reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum.

High-Power Voice Coil

The 5-inch voice coil with 4-layer winding on a vented polyimide composite former delivers exceptional power handling while effectively dissipating heat. This design allows the ThinPRO12 to handle 750W RMS power continuously - a significant achievement for a shallow mount subwoofer. The high-temperature voice coil ensures reliable performance even during extended high-output playing sessions.

Versatile Installation Options

With its ultra-slim 3-inch mounting depth, the ThinPRO12 fits where traditional subwoofers simply cannot. It's ideal for space-constrained installations in trucks, sports cars, or SUVs with limited depth behind seats or in shallow enclosures. Despite its slim profile, the ThinPRO12 performs exceptionally well in both small sealed enclosures (optimal at 0.6 cu ft) and ported designs (optimal at 1.0 cu ft).

Premium Connection Interface

The ThinPRO12 features heavy-duty 8AWG push terminals that ensure solid, reliable connections with minimal signal loss. These terminals accept large gauge speaker wire for optimal power transfer from your amplifier to the subwoofer's voice coil.

Robust Construction

Built with a vented cast aluminum frame, the ThinPRO12 provides superior strength and heat dissipation compared to stamped steel baskets found in many competitors. This robust construction ensures long-term durability and helps maintain consistent performance even during extended play at high output levels.
