The W12K9D2 V3 is a 12-inch car subwoofer with dual 2-ohm voice coils. This version adds a Punisher-series polypropylene dustcap, an inner dustcap and a voice coil spacer over the V2. These changes are meant to keep the voice coil cooler during sustained high-power use.
It has a 3-inch, 4-layer voice coil wound with USA-made OFC wire on a black aluminum former, rated stable up to 240°C. The motor uses a double-stacked 190 oz magnet and a vented T-yoke, with an optimized pole vent for extra heat dissipation. The cone is non-pressed paper with red stitching reinforcement and a thick foam surround. The spider is Nomex, and the basket is cast aluminum with a black sanded finish.
The dual voice coils wire in parallel for 1 ohm or in series for 4 ohms. The subwoofer works in sealed or ported enclosures. A custom rubber boot magnet cover and a mounting gasket protect the magnet and seal the mounting.
