Skytec SP1200 - 12” (30 cm) 8 Ω speaker for woofer replacement

Skytec SP1200 - 12” (30 cm) 8 Ω speaker for woofer replacement

The Skytec SP1200 is a 12” (30cm), 8Ω woofer designed as a reliable replacement for PA speakers, installations and DIY projects. Its architecture combines rigid suspension for precise cone control, a vented ferrite magnet for improved heat dissipation and a 38mm (1.5”) voice coil . It delivers 120W continuous and up to 300W max , with a sensitivity of 96dB (1W/1m) and a frequency response of 50–3,500Hz , achieving defined bass and mid-bass in two-way systems. It is easily mounted thanks to the spade (Faston) terminals and its standard dimensions: cutout diameter 280mm , mounting depth 113mm , outer diameter approx. 311mm and total height 120mm . Approximate weight: 2.5kg . Black finish.

Main features

• 12” (30 cm), 8 Ω : direct replacement for most 8 ohm cabinets and power amps.
• 120W RMS / 300W max : dynamic range suitable for compact PA, monitors and installations.
• Sensitivity 96 dB (1W/1m) and response 50–3,500 Hz : bass and mid-bass with good projection.
• 38 mm (1.5”) coil and 30 oz vented ferrite magnet for greater thermal resistance.
• Rigid suspension : less distortion at high levels and better control of cone displacement.
• Spade terminals (Faston) : quick and secure connection for maintenance tasks.
• Standard mounting dimensions : cut-out 280 mm, depth 113 mm, exterior ~311 mm (total height 120 mm).

Product benefits

• Restore the performance of 12” speakers without modifying the original speaker or filter.
• Reliability in continuous use thanks to the ventilated coil/magnet assembly and robust suspension.
• Consistent sound in the bass-midrange for vocals, rhythm guitar, keys, and general reinforcement.
• Easy installation with standard hardware and Faston connectors.

Use cases

• Replacement of woofers in 12” passive PA speakers and stage monitors.
• DIY two-way projects combining it with a high-frequency motor/tweeter.
• Maintenance of rental equipment and mobile sound systems.

Compatibility and installation

Verify that the system is operating at 8 ohms and that the speaker dimensions— cutout diameter 280 mm and mounting depth 113 mm —fit the enclosure. Apply gasket to ensure tightness between the chassis and speaker box and use appropriate hardware. In two-way systems, keep the manufacturer's original crossover or adjust the crossover frequency if you modify the system design.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can it be used as a dedicated subwoofer? No. Its usable range starts around 50 Hz ; use it as a bass/mid-bass woofer .
• Can I replace a 4 Ω speaker with this 8 Ω speaker? This will change the overall impedance and amplifier load. Use this if your system is designed for 8 Ω .
• What type of connection does it have? Spade terminals (Faston) for quick and secure connection.
