Memphis SRX1244V 12" Dual 4-Ohm Subwoofer

The Memphis SRX1244V is a 12-inch Street Reference subwoofer designed to add low-frequency output to a car audio system without requiring an oversized high-power setup. Its dual 4-ohm voice-coil configuration provides wiring flexibility for compatible mono or multi-subwoofer systems. It is intended for use in a properly designed sealed or ported enclosure.

With a 300-watt RMS and 600-watt peak power rating, this subwoofer is suited to systems built around an amplifier matched to its continuous power capability. The polypropylene cone and rubber surround form the moving assembly responsible for bass reproduction. This combination is designed for regular automotive use and controlled cone movement.

The SRX1244V uses a progressive poly-cotton spider to support the cone assembly through its excursion range. An anodized aluminum voice-coil former is used in the motor assembly. Together, these components support stable operation when the subwoofer is correctly installed and powered.

This model can be used in either a compact sealed enclosure for a space-conscious installation or a larger ported enclosure for a different enclosure alignment. Recommended enclosure volumes are available for both approaches. Its dual 4-ohm coils can be wired to present a 2-ohm or 8-ohm nominal load when using one subwoofer.

The SRX1244V is a practical choice for listeners upgrading from factory bass or building an entry-level aftermarket subwoofer system. It requires an external amplifier, enclosure, wiring, and source signal connection; these items are not integrated into the subwoofer. Confirm amplifier stability, enclosure dimensions, and vehicle space before installation.

Key Features

• 12-Inch Woofer: Provides a full-size subwoofer platform for dedicated bass reproduction.
• Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coils: Allow 2-ohm or 8-ohm nominal wiring with one subwoofer.
• 300W RMS Handling: Supports amplifier matching around 300 watts of continuous power.
• Polypropylene Cone: Delivers a rigid cone material for the moving assembly.
• Rubber Surround: Supports cone travel while maintaining a durable outer edge.
• Sealed Or Ported Use: Works with recommended enclosure types for installation flexibility.

Design & Installation

The SRX1244V combines a polypropylene cone, rubber surround, progressive poly-cotton spider, anodized aluminum voice-coil former, and stamped steel frame. Its compression terminals are specified for 12 AWG wiring. The dual voice-coil layout provides two sets of speaker connections for series or parallel wiring.

Allow for a 4.92-inch mounting depth and an 11.06-inch cutout when planning a custom enclosure. Memphis lists a 1.0-cubic-foot sealed enclosure and a 2.2-cubic-foot ported enclosure as ideal volumes. Match the final wiring load to an amplifier rated to operate safely at that impedance, and use an enclosure designed for a 12-inch subwoofer.
