I've been on the hunt this weekend for an 8 ohm 12" sub woofer, which is
hard if not impossible to find. I may have to order it directly from A.T. if
they'll sell it to me?


Try the NHT1248 available from www.madisound.com or at least it was
the last time I checked. Also Parts Express has a couple of 12"
woofers made for a dealed box.

The Kicker C12 is a good woofer, but they (Stillwater) give enclosure
recomendations that are IMO to small for home subs. A box of around 3
- 4 cubic feet is about right for this driver IMO.

The NHT 1248 works to 30 Hz before room loading in 3 cubic feet.

If you have an SPL meter and a test disk you can find out what the sub
is doing and make adjustments to see if it's OK. Perhaps some
judicious tweaking of level and xover can get it to perform the way you
like.



The box sounds ok with the C12 installed, its just quite "bassey"
