The SML12 is a 12-inch shallow-mount subwoofer from Sundown Audio's SML series. The series is an inch shallower than the brand's SLD line but delivers nearly the same excursion. It is designed to fit under or behind a seat and performs well in small enclosures.
The voice coil is wound on a black aluminum 2.5-inch former that helps dissipate heat. It uses high-temperature 4-layer copper wire. Stitched-on "Mini-XL" tinsel leads guard against fatigue and failure.
The motor has a vented pole piece, a multi-vented magnetic gap and a dual-magnet design for smooth acoustic response. A custom-tooled cone shape reduces mechanical noise over high excursion. The bolt-through motor design is built for durability.
