It mounts in the spare-tire well, making it a practical option for vehicles where a box enclosure would limit usable trunk room. An external amplifier is required because this is a non-amplified subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is intended for drivers who want to improve bass response while retaining a discreet, space-conscious installation. Its slim enclosure format is suited to many cars, trucks, and SUVs with accessible spare-tire storage. The design lets the subwoofer remain integrated with the vehicle rather than occupying the main cargo floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 300 watts RMS and 600 watts maximum power handling, the VS12SH is built for a properly matched external amplifier. Its dual 4-ohm voice-coil configuration gives an installer wiring flexibility when planning a compatible mono amplifier setup. The specified 20 Hz to 500 Hz frequency response supports low-end reinforcement for a full-range car audio system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure uses a shallow form factor with a 14.2-inch mounting diameter and 4.7-inch mounting width. Cerwin-Vega specifies a treated-paper cone, rubber surround, stamped-steel basket, ferrite magnet, and 4-inch voice coil. These components are housed in a spare-tire-oriented enclosure intended for a concealed installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VS12SH can complement either a factory audio system with the appropriate integration equipment or an aftermarket receiver and amplifier system. Because it is passive, amplifier selection, signal integration, wiring, and final tuning remain part of the overall installation plan. This makes it suitable for system upgrades where preserving trunk space is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive Spare-Tire Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs in the spare-tire well and requires an external amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpace-Conscious Format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses the spare-tire area instead of a conventional trunk enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300W RMS Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports a properly matched amplifier for sustained bass output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual 4-Ohm Voice Coils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides wiring flexibility for compatible amplifier configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20 Hz–500 Hz Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e Covers low-frequency bass reinforcement for vehicle audio systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShallow Enclosure Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measures 14.2 inches in diameter and 4.7 inches wide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VS12SH uses a treated-paper cone with a rubber surround, stamped-steel basket, ferrite magnet, and 4-inch voice coil. Its spare-tire enclosure is specified with solid, non-resonant die-cast construction.

The manual describes 8 mm and 10 mm mounting bolts, plus a replacement ABS fixing nut for certain Audi\/VW-style spare-tire retainers. Connect the supplied-style speaker wiring harness at the enclosure handle area and use a correctly configured external amplifier; professional installation is recommended by the manufacturer for optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cerwin Vega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45620189397062,"sku":"CER-VS12SH","price":473.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/51_AduR3msL.jpg?v=1784370837","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/cerwin-vega-vs12sh-12-passive-spare-tire-subwoofer","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
