Vonyx SPSL12 - 12 Inch 600W Replacement Woofer Speaker
The Vonyx SPSL12 is a high-performance replacement speaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in low and mid-frequency applications. With a 12-inch (30 cm) diameter and a maximum power handling of 600W, this woofer is the ideal choice for both repairing damaged speaker cabinets and building custom (DIY) sound systems. Its robust construction and quality components ensure durability and reliable, powerful audio reproduction.
This speaker stands out for its vented ferrite magnet , a clever design that significantly improves heat dissipation. This allows the speaker to operate at peak performance for extended periods without risk of overheating, ensuring consistent response and a longer lifespan. Furthermore, its rigid suspension provides precise cone control, resulting in defined, powerful, and distortion-free bass, even at high volumes.
Main Features
-
High Power: Capable of handling up to 600W peak power and 300W RMS, delivering a powerful and present sound, suitable for a wide variety of applications.
-
12-Inch Woofer: Its large diameter allows it to move a significant amount of air, generating deep, nuanced low frequencies.
-
8 Ohm Impedance: A standard impedance that ensures high compatibility with most amplifiers and power stages on the market.
-
Quality Construction: Equipped with a 19-ounce ferrite magnet and a 1.5-inch voice coil, mounted on a solid steel chassis that minimizes unwanted vibrations.
-
Simple Connection: Incorporates spade-type (faston) terminals that facilitate a quick, safe and reliable connection of the wiring.
-
Efficient Cooling: The vented magnet optimizes airflow around the coil, preventing thermal compression and keeping sound quality intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this speaker active or passive?
The Vonyx SPSL12 is a passive speaker. It's a component that needs to be connected to an external amplifier or power stage to function.
What type of amplifier is recommended for this woofer?
An amplifier that is stable at 8 ohms and can deliver close to 300W RMS per channel is recommended to obtain maximum performance and avoid distortion (clipping).
Can it be used in any type of speaker box?
Yes, its design is versatile and adapts well to different types of enclosures, such as sealed boxes for controlled and precise bass, or bass-reflex port boxes for greater extension in the low frequencies.
Does the package include the mounting hardware?
No, replacement speakers like this one typically don't include screws or wiring. These must be purchased separately depending on the specific installation requirements.
