Description: About the UL12The BEST Listening scores in Car Audio history: Jazz score: 9.5/10, Reggae score: 9.5/10, Electronic/House: 9/10, R&B Score: 9/10, Instrumental: 9/10The CRITICAL MASS UL12 is rated #1, considered “the Best” and “the Perfect Sub” and beat all subwoofers in Car Audio & Electronics Magazine including JL Audio, Alpine, Kicker, ORION, Rockford Fosgate, Image Dynamics, Digital Designs, Cerwin Vega Stroker pro, Phoenix Gold and many many more that did NOT make the top 10.Sensitivity: 97 db (2.83V / 1m) (coils in parallel). Motor Type: C.M.G.A.P. / Internal NEO-M Magnet. Voice Coil Type: Ultra-High Temp Dual Coil. Voice Coil Diameter: 4”. Voice Coil Impedance: 1.5 ohm nominal per coilTrue Carbon Fiber cone. Enormous proprietary NEO-M Motor structure capable of sustaining 5KW peaksthe ultimate Sound Quality super subwoofer weighing a fraction of what a super subwoofer weighs and designed to take little to no usable space while utilizing up to 2500W RMS in tiny sealed or small ported enclosuresWhy is The Critical Mass UL12 so special? It's "the Best".. Beating all other subwoofer manufacturers might be simple when the person doing the testing is a novice or a blogger or enthusiast or even a lifelong audiophile, but when the testing engineer is Mr. Vance Dickason, who literally wrote the book on speakers (top-selling Loudspeaker Design Cookbook all editions 1-8) then things become real. In the world of car audio one can have subwoofers that are Light weight or handle tons of Power or are High Efficiency or emphasize on Sound Quality or even work in small enclosures. But the only one to hit all those and beat everyone in sound quality and SPL all in a small enclosure 1.35cuft is the Critical MASS audio UL12. The UL12 reference testing enclosure used weighed in under 40lbs (including the UL12) sounded better (highest sound quality test scores in CA&E history) and punched harder than even the largest enclosure subwoofer combinations weighing well over 200lbs. The UL12 is capable of making enormous output in large SPL enclosures up to 154db (as tested by James Claridy of Audio Enhancers) However as incredible as that is, that is not the special ingredient of the UL12. The amazing achievement is that not only can it beat monster subwoofers weighing over 100lbs in total output but it also can be installed in the tiniest of enclosures (as small as 0.25cft) and still produce ample output while beating the best sound quality subwoofers in every measurable sound quality criteria as tested by Mr. Vance Dickason (who literally wrote the book on speakers) top-selling Loudspeaker Design Cookbook all editions 1-8.

At only 20 lbs, this subwoofer handles up-to 3times more power, has a considerably higher linear and maximum excursion, andaudibly lower distortion, while weighing as much as 66% less than other Ultra-PerformanceSubwoofer (woofers with an excursion capability of greater than 2.5”).These subwoofers made by other companies can weigh as much as 55 lbs. On theother hand, the Critical MASS Ultra-Performance Lightweight Subwoofer will notonly play louder and handle more power, but it will also play in a smaller box, andtherefore, can save you as much as 100 lbs from subwoofer system weight whencombined with the reduced weight of a smaller enclosure (based on two 12” subs).A 100 lbs reduction in your system weight, translates to accelerations gains resultingin up to 1/10th of a second off your 0-60 mph times, or as much as 1 car lengthfaster. So the next time you plan to invest $1000 on an exhaust system, keep in mindthat you may have already lost your expected performance gains, unless you are usingCritical MASS UL-Series subwoofers and speakers.G.A.P. TECHNOLOGY:Allows for much greater linear excursion and power handling than conventionaldrivers. This Ultra-Performance Subwoofer utilizes the G.A.P. configuration motor technology,which results in up to 2.5 times more X-max than conventional motor designs.Huge, radial vented, NEO motor structure. Utilizing the latest and best high temp,high grade Neodymium-Iron-Born magnets, which generate up-to 20 times more magnetic energythan conventional ceramic magnets of equivalent size. The radial slot vents keep themotor running cool, enabling much greater power handling capability than conventionalNeo designs. CARBON FIBER SANDWICH CONE:This cone is one of the only cones that will withstand 5000 Watts of peak music power.The Lightweight Carbon Fiber Sandwich Cone increases rigidity, and therefore efficiency,which ultimately means more, undistorted, car-shaking bass.ULTRA-PERFORMANCE LIGHTWEIGHT SUBWOOFER DESIGN: This driver is the first Ultra-Performance Subwoofer to be made with the automotive performance enthusiast in mind. At only 25 lbs, this subwoofer handles up-to 3 times more power, has a considerably higher linear and maximum excursion, and audibly lower distortion, while weighing as much as 66% less than other Ultra-Performance Subwoofer (woofers with an excursion capability of greater than 2.5”).
