MTX TN12-04 Terminator 12" Subwoofer

The MTX TN12-04 Terminator has earned its reputation as one of the most popular entry-level subwoofers ever produced. Designed to deliver impressive bass performance without breaking the budget, the TN12-04 provides the perfect introduction to real car audio bass while maintaining the reliability and durability MTX Audio is known for.

Featuring a rugged 12-inch woofer, 200 Watts RMS power handling, and MTX's advanced ALDS (Asymmetrical Linear Drive System) technology, the TN12-04 delivers smooth, controlled bass with excellent output for daily driving applications. Whether you're upgrading a factory system or building your first custom audio setup, the Terminator provides outstanding value and performance.

The TN12-04 also features MTX's exclusive Spider Plateau Venting system, which actively cools the voice coil during operation. By directing airflow directly over the hottest parts of the woofer, the subwoofer remains cooler under load, improving reliability, power handling, and long-term durability.

Designed for both sealed and ported enclosures, the TN12-04 offers flexibility to suit a wide range of installations and listening preferences.

Spider Plateau Venting Technology
