Can someone tell me what flatwind coil, BP power and QTS

Thanks in advance! Hope to be buying a 12" soon

You mean SSD. Options explained there. Take the other link on that page for BP power.

High QTS just means they are better for being in sealed enclosures.

If you want ported, don't get it.

If you want sealed, get it.

If you want sealed now but ported later, don't get it.

Thank you very much, I understand the flat coil well. I read both of the other pages but didnt see anything on " BP power." Also Would the 12" in the recommenced sealed box powered by a kenwood KAC-9105D(900w @ 2ohm) would be loud enough for an extended cab truck.

Also, the amp says it can push 1 ohm, would it benefit much to get the 1 ohm voice coils?

Last thing for 169$ could I get a better amp then that?


BP Power: This option adds a machined aluminum compression plug to the pole which helps channel all of the air under the dustcap around the coil for better cooling. To aid with this increased airflow we also add 6 axial cooling channels in the top plate. Along with increased thermal capacity comes the addition of an extra spider and a changed spider pack. All of these features increase power handling from 200-500 Watts depending on the application. 


You really do not need the bp power option for that sub.

Thank you again!

So you think I should save my money and put it towards something better.

loud enough for for you is most likely different to everyone out there's 'loud enough'

loud enough for me, no.

for you? only you know!

;) just trying to help out

save more money for an amp. an audioque 1200d is only $249 and it's a great (cheap) match for the SSD

save some more and i can promise it will pay off.

Alright, what would you get the 1ohm voice coils and run the amp in 1ohm mode?

If you want a 1 ohm load get a dual 2 ohm and wire it in paralel

If you already own that Kenwood amp I would get a copper coil with high QTS and bp power for a sealed setup.

if you don't have an amp yet, go for that Audioque 1200 its a great deal then you can get the flatwind and bp power and go ported for more output.

personally I love ported, ultimately its your choice, I would get the bp power either way for thermal reasons. can't over-cool it thats for sure :) keep those ts parameters consistent
