B&C 12" 8 Ohm 1400W Waterproof Low Frequency Woofer – 12FW88-8

Overview

The B&C 12FW88-8 is a high-performance 12-inch low-frequency driver designed to deliver exceptional power and clarity for modern loudspeaker systems. Part of the FW88 series, this woofer incorporates a large 3.5-inch (88 mm) aluminum voice coil and a powerful high-flux ferrite magnet motor to handle up to 1400 watts of continuous program power. Its advanced design ensures unexpected low-frequency depth and midrange extension, making it an incredibly versatile driver for two-way applications and compact subwoofers.

Engineered for reliability in demanding environments, the 12FW88-8 features a waterproof-treated cone front side, allowing it to perform consistently even in humid or outdoor conditions. The driver includes an aluminum demodulating ring to significantly reduce distortion, while the ventilated voice coil gap minimizes power compression during extended use. With a double silicone spider for optimized compliance and a sensitivity of 97 dB, this woofer offers a perfect balance of durability, efficiency, and sonic precision.
