ZP12D4 12″ Streetbass Subwoofer
The ZP12D4 is Phoenix Gold's latest Streetbass subwoofer, handling 1500W RMS and 4500W max. It uses premium soft-parts, a high-gauss ferrite motor, and a 3 inch OFC voice coil built to manage high temperatures and sustained heavy power.
The driver is engineered to deliver high SPL without sacrificing sound quality. Key soft-part choices include OFC woven tinsel leads for reliable power handling, a non pressed paper cone for accurate dampening, triple polycotton spiders for controlled movement, and a tall high-roll surround to maximise linear excursion relative to cone area.

About the Phoenix Gold ZP12D4
From our tech experts at CEN
The Phoenix Gold ZP12D4 is a 12 inch dual 4-ohm subwoofer from the ZP Series Streetbass range, rated at 1500W RMS and 4500W max. It uses a 3 inch OFC voice coil, a 195oz double stacked ferrite magnet, a non pressed paper cone, and triple polycotton spiders. Push terminals make wiring straightforward.
Who it suits
This suits experienced car audio builders who need high SPL output without sacrificing bass accuracy. It requires a separate amplifier and enclosure. Those wanting a simpler, self-contained solution may prefer the Phoenix Gold Z12AB active subwoofer enclosure.
Our tech experts advise
At 1500W RMS, this driver needs a high-output mono amplifier and a correctly rated wiring kit; the Phoenix Gold ZXK50 0 AWG wiring kit suits high-power builds well. The dual 4-ohm voice coils wire to 2 ohms in parallel or 8 ohms in series, so confirm your amplifier's stable impedance before purchasing. Fitting is priced per vehicle; see our car audio installation page for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need an amplifier for this subwoofer?
A: Yes, unless it is an active (powered) subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. Passive subwoofers need an external amplifier matched to the RMS power and impedance shown in the Specification tab.
Q: What size enclosure does this subwoofer need?
A: The recommended enclosure volume is listed in the Specification tab where the manufacturer provides it. As a rule, sealed enclosures give tighter, more accurate bass while ported enclosures deliver more output. Contact CEN if you would like a recommendation for your build.
Q: What does RMS power mean?
A: RMS is the continuous power a subwoofer can handle, and it is the number that matters when matching an amplifier. Peak or max figures describe short bursts only. Match your amplifier output to the RMS rating in the Specification tab.
Q: Sealed or ported enclosure - which should I choose?
A: Sealed boxes are compact and produce tight, controlled bass suited to sound quality builds. Ported boxes are larger and produce more output at low frequencies, suited to those who want maximum impact. Either works well when built to the recommended volume.
Q: Can CEN build or supply an enclosure and fit everything?
A: Yes. CEN supplies enclosures and offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises, including amplifier wiring. Contact us to discuss your build.
Q: How much power can the Phoenix Gold ZP12D4 handle?
A: The ZP12D4 is rated at 1500W RMS continuous power handling, with a maximum rating of 4500W. Match it to an amplifier using the RMS figure.
Q: What size voice coil and magnet does the ZP12D4 use?
A: It uses a 3 inch (75mm) OFC voice coil with woven tinsel leads, driven by a 195oz double stacked ferrite magnet.
Q: Is the ZP12D4 aimed at SPL or sound quality?
A: It is a Streetbass subwoofer engineered for high SPL while keeping good sound reproduction, using a non pressed paper cone, triple polycotton spiders and a tall stitched surround for extra excursion.
