Our take on the STRATO-15 1250 Watts RMS 15 Inch Car Subwoofer

The CT Sounds Strato-15 is a 15-inch car subwoofer rated at 1250 watts RMS, built for high-output bass in a ported or sealed enclosure. Its 3-inch four-layer copper-clad aluminum voice coil, 170 oz double-stacked Y35 ferrite magnet and die-cast aluminum basket put it in competition-oriented territory. The dual 2-ohm voice coils and revised basket with more spider landing space are aimed at people running big power who want deep, loud low end. Against mainstream 15s it trades everyday efficiency for raw output, and owners rate it highly for the bass it delivers for the money.

Questions and answers

What amplifier power does the Strato-15 need?
It is rated 1250 watts RMS with dual 2-ohm voice coils. Wire the coils in parallel for a 1-ohm load or in series for 4 ohms, and match an amplifier that delivers its rated power at that load.
What size enclosure does it want?
It is a 15-inch competition-style sub with a large magnet and long excursion, so it needs a substantial ported or sealed box. Check CT Sounds' recommended box specs for your tuning before building.
Is it a dual voice coil sub?
Yes. The Strato-15-D2 has dual 2-ohm voice coils, so you can wire it to 1 ohm or 4 ohms depending on your amplifier.
Will it work with a stock electrical system?
Running 1250 watts RMS usually calls for an upgraded battery and alternator or a dedicated second battery. On a stock system you will likely see voltage drop and reduced output.
How does it compare with the previous Strato-15?
This version uses a basket with more spider landing space and a competition mega foam surround, which CT Sounds says improves Xmax and excursion over the earlier model.
What is in the box?
The subwoofer itself. Mounting hardware and wiring are not included, so plan for screws, speaker wire and an enclosure separately.
