Our take on the Shockwave-12 Powered 12" Pro Audio/DJ Subwoofer Cabinet with Class D Amp 800 Watts

The Shockwave-12 is a powered 12-inch subwoofer with a built-in Class D amp rated 400 watts RMS and 800 watts peak. Seismic Audio specs it from 40 Hz to 200 Hz with up to 121 dB SPL and under 0.1% THD, in a ported cabinet weighing 50.7 pounds. It suits DJs, bands and small venues for 100 to 300 people who want a compact sub under 12- or 15-inch mains. Against passive subs it saves you an amp and crossover; against premium powered subs it is a budget option with fewer DSP features, and owners rate it highly for output per pound.

About the Shockwave-12 Powered 12" Pro Audio/DJ Subwoofer Cabinet with Class D Amp 800 Watts

The Shockwave-12 is a powered 12-inch subwoofer for DJs, bands and live sound engineers. It adds low-end reinforcement for medium-sized venues such as clubs, bars, wedding receptions and outdoor events with 100 to 300 people.

It uses a 12" woofer with a 70 oz magnet and a 2.5" voice coil, and covers 40 Hz to 200 Hz. The built-in Class D amplifier delivers 400 watts RMS and 800 watts peak. Maximum SPL is 121 dB, with total harmonic distortion of 0.1% or less. The ported cabinet has a 5/8" plywood front and an MDF body, and it weighs 50.7 pounds.

The low-pass filter adjusts from 40 Hz to 250 Hz to set the crossover point for your main speakers. The outputs carry a 100 Hz high-pass signal to full-range speakers, which keeps them from reproducing the lows the subwoofer handles. Dual XLR inputs and outputs connect to a mixer or powered speakers. The included pole mount lets you place main speakers on top of the sub. It pairs with 12" or 15" main speakers.

Questions and answers

Does the Shockwave-12 need a separate amplifier?
No. The Class D amp is built in, rated 400 watts RMS and 800 watts peak. You feed it a line-level signal from a mixer or powered speaker.
What speakers pair well with it?
Seismic Audio suggests 12- or 15-inch mains. The 100 Hz high-pass output sends filtered signal to them, and the pole mount lets you stack a main on top.
How low does it go?
The rated range is 40 Hz to 200 Hz, with the low-pass filter adjustable from 40 Hz to 250 Hz to match your mains.
Can I use two for more output?
Yes, each is self-powered with its own XLR in and out, so you can daisy-chain signal. There is no cardioid or stereo-linking DSP.
How big a room will it cover?
Seismic Audio targets 100 to 300 people, such as clubs, bars and wedding receptions. Maximum SPL is 121 dB, so very large rooms will need more subs.
What is in the box?
The powered subwoofer and its pole mount. Cables and mains are not listed as included.
