Audiomobile Encore 4412

Was wondering if anyone is running an audiomobile encore 4412 sub? wanted to get your impressions on it and what type of enclosure you used.

With the amount of airspace needed for a single 4412 (1.25), you'd be better off with a pair of 2412's (1.30).

Personally, I run a pair of GB12-D4's wired in parallel for 1ohm, and 3-way Utopia's.

Thanks, any pics of your box setup? I'm running gladen aerospace 3 ways

I don't at the moment. Besides that, I just ordered a new enclosure to replace the existing one that I had a local shop build for me. I can snap a picture for you when it comes in.

If you're looking for a reputable shop in Cali to build an enclosure, give JT at Automotive Entertainment OC a call. He has experience with the Braptor, and he did some work on Focal's demo Bronco. A few of his enclosures are also posted on Focal's IG page.

Unless you're a low-volume listener, you'd be very hard-pressed to find a single 12" subwoofer that can match the output of moderately powered Gladen Aerospace components in an open cabin as large as the Bronco.

Thanks, i'll give them a look. For power I am running mosconi pro 5|30 and 4|10 and the new aero 8 | 12 dsp

Ok, that makes sense, and now I understand the interest in the 4412, but that single channel can still be used for a pair of 12's that will only require a smidgeon more airspace than a single 4412. Depending on which direction you decide to have a single subwoofer fire, an enclosure with 1.25 cubes of airspace is going to occupy around half of your cargo area. Side firing, half the depth, front to back. Rear or down firing, half the width, side to side.

At 4ohm, the 2412's are obviously not an option, but a pair of DVC, 2ohm subwoofers are an option. Each wired in series, then wired together in parallel would have a final impedance of 2ohm at the terminal cup to make full use of the 1000W available on the mono channel. I'm sure you already know that...

Not even gonna ask where you managed to hide a 19" Pro 5/30.

Definitely curious to see what direction you go in.
