Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the right amplifier for my speakers or subwoofer?
A: Match the amplifier's RMS output per channel to the RMS handling of your speakers or subwoofer at the same impedance. The Specification tab lists the power figures. If in doubt, contact CEN with your setup and we will recommend a match.
Q: Can the GZRW 12XSPL be wired to 1 ohm or 4 ohm?
A: Yes. The GZRW 12XSPL has dual 2 ohm voice coils (2x2 ohms), so it can be wired in parallel for a 1 ohm load or in series for a 4 ohm load. Choose the wiring to suit the stable load of your amplifier. Ground Zero recommends 800 to 1500W of amplifier power.
Q: What are the Thiele/Small parameters of the GZRW 12XSPL?
A: Fs is 31.8 Hz, Qts is 0.684 and Vas is 27.2 litres. Xmax is 45 mm.
