It installs in the spare-tire well rather than occupying the trunk with a conventional box. This makes it a practical option for drivers who want added bass in vehicles with limited storage room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated for 300 watts RMS and 600 watts maximum, the VS12 is intended to pair with an external amplifier. Its 20 Hz to 500 Hz frequency response supports low-bass reinforcement for music and full-range vehicle audio systems. The passive design lets the installer select an amplifier appropriate for the system’s power and wiring plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure is built around an 11.3-inch subwoofer driver within the product’s 12-inch spare-tire-subwoofer format. A treated-paper cone, rubber surround, stamped-steel basket, and ferrite ceramic magnet are specified for the driver. With a listed sensitivity of 90 dB, it is engineered to provide controlled bass output in a compact vehicle installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VS12 uses dual 4-ohm voice coils and has a 4-inch voice-coil diameter. This configuration should be matched carefully with the amplifier and final wiring arrangement before installation. Because it is not amplified, it does not provide built-in crossover, gain, or bass-boost controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in the spare-tire area, the VS12 can fit many modern vehicles without removing the spare tire. Its 14.2-inch mounting length and 5.7-inch mounting width should still be checked against the available wheel-well depth and trunk-floor clearance. It is suited to factory-system upgrades and custom systems where retaining a clean, space-conscious installation is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpare-Tire Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Places bass reinforcement in the spare-tire well to help preserve trunk space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with a separately selected external amplifier for system-matched power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300W RMS Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports amplifier matching up to its 300-watt continuous power rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual 4-Ohm Voice Coils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides wiring flexibility when planned with an amplifier’s supported load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 Hz–500 Hz Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e Covers the low-frequency range used for subwoofer reinforcement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDie-Cast Enclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses a solid, non-resonant die-cast enclosure construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VS12 combines a solid non-resonant die-cast enclosure with a treated-paper cone, rubber surround, stamped-steel basket, and ferrite ceramic magnet. Its integrated enclosure is designed specifically for spare-tire-well placement rather than conventional trunk-box mounting. The unit’s compact 14.2-inch by 5.7-inch mounting footprint is intended for vehicles where available cargo space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm spare-tire-well dimensions, wheel orientation, center-mount hardware, and trunk-floor clearance before purchase. The manual describes 8 mm and 10 mm mounting bolts, plus a replacement ABS fixing nut for certain Audi\/VW-style spare-tire retention systems. Connect the supplied speaker-wire harness to the enclosure after mounting, then use an appropriately configured external amplifier and follow its wiring and crossover instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cerwin Vega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45620085653574,"sku":"CER-VS12","price":473.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/61mPDdBzEOL.jpg?v=1784370792","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/cerwin-vega-vs12-12-passive-spare-tire-subwoofer","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
