The Timpano TPT-T3500-12 D2 is a 12-inch car audio subwoofer built for high-performance bass systems and SPL competitions. With dual 2-ohm voice coils and a massive 3500 W peak / 1750 W RMS power rating, this subwoofer delivers deep and powerful low-frequency output ideal for bass enthusiasts, custom car audio builds or systems where maximum bass impact is required. Its robust construction — including a triple-stacked magnet motor, heavy aluminum frame and high-excursion suspension — ensures reliability even under demanding conditions.

KEY BENEFITS

• High power handling (1750 W RMS, 3500 W peak) provides strong, clean bass with plenty of headroom for dynamic tracks.
• Dual 2-ohm voice coils allow flexible wiring configurations depending on amplifier setup.
• High excursion capability (Xmax 29 mm one-way; peak-to-peak ~2.28"") enables deep, punchy lows and efficient air movement.
• Durable build: reinforced paper cone, high-roll foam surround, chrome-vented backplate and vented basket improve heat dissipation and longevity.
• Competition-grade motor: triple-stacked magnet with 3″ high-temperature voice coil built for extreme performance.
• Broad low-frequency response (22 Hz – 250 Hz) ensures reproduction of deep sub-bass that many standard speakers miss.
• Strong mechanical stability: double-layered spider and stitched XL tinsel leads increase reliability under heavy use.
• Versatility: performs well in ported enclosures (for maximum SPL) but can also work in sealed boxes.

INSTALLATION & COMPATIBILITY

This subwoofer performs best in a properly designed ported enclosure to maximize low-frequency extension and SPL output, though it can also work in sealed boxes (with reduced output). To fully exploit its power handling and dual-coil flexibility, pair it with a mono amplifier capable of delivering ~1750 W RMS at 2 ohm and use heavy gauge power and ground wiring to ensure stable power delivery. A break-in period is recommended to allow the suspension to loosen and reach optimal excursion and bass response.
