Our take on the JBL JBLSUBST1200SAM

The JBL SUBST1200SAM is a slim, powered car subwoofer in a compact carpeted enclosure. It pairs a 12-inch polypropylene cone with a 250 W RMS amplifier (1000 W peak) and a 2-ohm single voice coil rated at 91 dB sensitivity, so it plays loud from modest power. Its shallow 7.75-inch depth lets it fit behind seats and in tight trunks where a full-size box will not. It suits drivers who want added low end without giving up cargo space, and it is simpler than building a separate sub and amp.

Best forDrivers with limited trunk or behind-seat spaceAdding bass to a factory stereoPickup and SUV owners wanting a self-contained subBuyers who want an all-in-one powered box
Pros
  • Shallow enclosure fits tight spaces
  • Built-in 250 W RMS amplifier, no separate amp needed
  • High 91 dB sensitivity for strong output
  • RCA inputs work with most aftermarket head units
  • Carpeted finish and included grille protect the driver
Cons
  • 2-ohm single voice coil limits wiring options
  • Bass depth is modest for a 12-inch driver in a slim box
  • Bluetooth and voice control are unusual for a car sub and add little
  • No waterproofing, so it is not for open-air installs

Questions and answers

Does the JBL SUBST1200SAM need a separate amplifier?
No. The enclosure has a built-in amplifier rated at 250 W RMS and 1000 W peak, so you feed it a signal and power, not a speaker-level amp.
Will it fit behind a truck or SUV seat?
It is 17.25 inches wide, 14.5 inches tall and 7.75 inches deep at the top, so it fits many behind-seat and shallow trunk spaces. Measure your opening first.
How do I connect it to my head unit?
It takes RCA inputs, so it works with head units that have subwoofer or preamp outputs. Factory systems usually need a line-output converter.
Is the 2-ohm impedance a problem?
Not for this powered box, since the amplifier is matched to the driver. It only matters if you plan to run the driver from a separate amp.
Does it work with a factory stereo?
It can, but you will likely need a line-output converter to get RCA signal from a factory head unit.
Where is the JBL JBLSUBST1200SAM cheapest?
At JBL, for $269.95, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the JBL JBLSUBST1200SAM?
5 stores we checked sell it, including Creative Audio, JBL, Walmart, Crutchfield, Amazon.
