JBL GT5-12 Subwoofer Review
Yesterday we looked at the JBL GT5-10. Now we are going to look at the next step up, the JBL GT5-12. The GT5-12 is a single voice coil 12 inch subwoofer and has a impedance of 4 ohms. The RMS power handling is 275W and peaks at 1100W. If you were looking the 10 inch and was thinking up stepping up to the 12 inch because it would handle more power, this is not the with the GT%-12. The frequency response 23 – 450 Hz, which is lower than the 10 inch so keep that in mind. The subwoofer is also not recommend for a sealed box and does work very well in a ported or vented subwoofer box. The GT5-12 has a MSRP of $119.95. The GT5-12D is the dual voice coil version of this subwoofer.
