Quick guide from the manual
The Taramps T 1200SW is an 8-inch high-performance subwoofer designed for powerful bass. This document serves as a technical reference for the T 1200SW, available in two dual-coil versions (D2 and D4). It provides essential parameters for enclosure design and amplifier matching.
Product Overview
The T 1200SW features a cellulose cone and foam border for durability and sound quality. It is designed to handle 600 WRMS and up to 1200 Watts in musical program power. Users should select the version (2+2 Ohms or 4+4 Ohms) that best matches their amplifier's impedance capabilities.
Cabinet Suggestions
To achieve optimal performance, the manufacturer recommends a vented box enclosure. The following specifications are provided for the cabinet design:
- Volume: 28 Liters
- Ducts: 2 units
- Duct Diameter: 3 inches
- Tuning Frequency: 41 Hz or 45 Hz (depending on duct depth)
- High Pass Filter (H.P.F): 30 Hz
- Attenuation: 12 dB/Octave
Technical Specifications
Key electrical and mechanical parameters include:
- RMS Power: 600 WRMS (300+300W)
- Musical Program Power: 1200 Watts
- Nominal Diameter: 8 inches
- Weight: 5.376 kg
- Frequency Response: 35Hz to 2500Hz
- Effective Cone Area (SD): 0.0208 M²
Dimensions
The subwoofer has a nominal diameter of 8 inches. The total mounting depth and outer dimensions are critical for enclosure construction. Please refer to the product dimensions diagram for precise measurements (216mm outer diameter, 127mm height).
Practical help
Common problems
Distorted sound or poor bass response
Verify that the enclosure volume is exactly 28 Liters and that the duct tuning matches the recommended 41-45 Hz range.
Amplifier mismatch
Ensure you have selected the correct version (D2 for 2+2 Ohms or D4 for 4+4 Ohms) to match your amplifier's stable impedance load.
Before use
- Confirm the impedance version (D2 or D4) matches your amplifier.
- Construct a vented box with a net volume of 28 Liters.
- Use 3-inch diameter ducts as specified.
- Ensure the amplifier can handle the 600 WRMS power rating.
- Check that the mounting surface can support the 5.376 kg weight.
