Boston Acoustics ProSeries 12.5LF

Boston Acoustics
Pro Series 12.5 LF 2-ohm subwoofer

I have used this sub very little. I bought it second hand and powered it with a RF amp at first and an older Orion 225HCCA amp. I really like the power handling capabilities and the cleanliness of this sub, but am happy with what I have right now for my current purpose. This one is now just sitting here in my casa, and I need to make space.
The original owner had let an item get up against the cone and do some cosmetic damage. But the sub has worked flawlessly. Both me and the last owner were/are fanatical in car audio and the damage was not intended nor careless. Just unfortunate. But rest assured its a good sub.
The ProSeries is known for its power handling, clean sounding and small sealed enclosure capabilities.

Bump

[lucy_blue_93]

i would love to have it...but once again...the funding for it is...non-existant. if you still have it in a few weeks, ill be all over it, but i doubt you will.

[Mikz86TA]

Im sure I will.
Needs alot of power and little airspace.
Collecting dust under my bed and I forgot about it =)

[lucy_blue_93]

what do you think could be the max wattage this speaker could hold continuously?

[White-V-6-S-Ten]

Looks like a decent sub. I personally have no use for it due to already having one 12" in my truck as it!
I am wanting to get a different box for it so i can recline my seats back.
But i have a fosgate 1500 watt amp going to it with 450 solid watts going to the sub! clean and tight with deep bass! just how i like it
NO DISTORTION

Yup Boston are very clear. To bad I have 12" JL W6 v2.0 that I have yet to insatll.

[Mikz86TA]

I like a few different subs for their induviduality.
JLs of old just have that deep throaty bass that hits you
RFs of old like I have are a good all around that will pound your chest if needed =)
Bostons are smooth as silk and clean like a studio quality.
This sub has a pretty wide power range, but from experience 800W RMS and in the appropriate sealed box size, is where it sounds the best.
Im not using it and already have a 10.4LF Pro thats sitting here too. I may put it in the TA one day for just a lil bump.

[Y NI Rider]

I prefer Bostons over almost any brand its just the cost of them are so high. BTW I'm like you I like quality not quantity(dont like alot of rattling noise)

[Mikz86TA]

Im a sound-quality buff.
I love to hear the licks rom a guitar and the tat-tat of a tight snare clearly within the music.

[White-V-6-S-Ten]

Agreed!
Thats how i have the system in my truck set up.
I have 3 fosgate amps lol!

[firefighter]

I just bought a pair of 10" POLK MOMO's gotta get a new head unit and some Amps. I'm waiting to see what Kenwood comes out with for a head unit this year.

[87wildside]

Sell this damn thing Mike, it's killin me. I got to stop buting stuff I don't need and only want. And I want this sub, so sell it....haha

[Y NI Rider]

50 bucks it should be gone already. I looked at this thread to see who picked it up and nothing. Whats the price of one of these...around 300 or so rite.

[Mikz86TA]

New they were. The only drawback is the scuff and crease on the cone. Its not hurting the performance, just the cosmetics. Ive tried 2xs on E-bay but no takers. I had bids, but not up to my reserve. Then again my reserve was like $65 or so. I just put it cheaper here =)
Im going to put it back up in a few days.
IDK if I should start at $50 with NoReserve or Start at a low number with a Reserve. hmmm

[Y NI Rider]

Start it off at 50 there good quality subs and there not a usuall find eigther. If you lived here I would have picked it up a long time ago. I like the fact it doesnt take alot of air space to.

[Mikz86TA]

Yeah, shipping weights a killer =)

[munkittrick]

I registered JUST for this post. I've been luring and learning here for a while, but my truck got wrecked and some butt-monkeys broke into the auto-body shop and stole my subs. I'd like to buy this one right away. At $50 plus shipping, this will be one of the (4) that got stolen and will be better than listening to road noise when she gets back home. I sent you a PM as well.

Thanks,
Michael

[Mikz86TA]

Had 4 of them eh? Bet that sounded nice. Whats your setup?

I PMed you back. THX, Michel

[Mikz86TA]

Still availible.

[Mikz86TA]

On E-Bay right now.

[JONGO8]

On E-Bay right now.
I see.. Offer it to us for 50.00 and put it up on E~bay for 40.00. I see how we rate.... LOL!!!!!! J/K!!!!!

[Mikz86TA]

Hey now.!. hehehe. I did have it $60 last time I listed it. Im just tired of looking at it being unused and lonely. So I went with a spur of the moment price at the time I listed it. Thing weighs like 15 or 17 lbs. too so shipping is kinda costly.

[JONGO8]

You know I just had to mess with you....

[Mikz86TA]

I know. hehehe

[Mikz86TA]

SOLD!!

[JONGO8]

about time...lol.

[Mikz86TA]

Hehehe LOL!!
Thats what I said =)
I really hate to see it go..its a nice sub and they seem to be getting harder to come by. But I think the new owner will enjoy it.
Im wanting a 12.4LF. Ive only ever seen 1 in the past 2 years for sale. I have a almost mint 10.4LF that I intend to hold on to. Its just I got the 6.43x componets and the .4 subs match. But I love my old RF HE2 that Im rockin right now. Just be nice to have a smaller box =)

[lucy_blue_93]

DAMNIT. if you woulda had it in a couple weeks when i got my buckets and had more room for a box i woulda got it. oh well...ill just buy another one.

[JONGO8]

You know what they say...... You snooze you loose....J/K....
He had that for a long time too.. He gave us every chance to get it.

[lucy_blue_93]

i know he did...so i cant blame nobody but myself. its all my fault and im gonna go shoot myself in the big toe with a pellet gun for it.

[JONGO8]
