Sony XS-W124GS 12" GS Series Car Subwoofer – 1800W Peak, 420W RMS, Single 4Ω, Long-Excursion Bass

Sony XS-W124GS is a 12-inch GS Series subwoofer built for tight, high-power bass in sound quality (SQ) and SPL-leaning car audio builds. With high thermal handling and a rigid cone assembly, it’s designed to stay controlled at volume while still digging deep in a properly sized sealed or ported enclosure.

This is a single 4-ohm subwoofer rated at 420W RMS (CTA-2015) with a high peak rating, making it a strong match for a dedicated mono amplifier and a clean signal chain. Sony’s GS design focuses on output plus accuracy—ideal when you want loud bass that doesn’t turn into mush.
