Infinity 1220de Features

Infinity Expertise
Infinity is no stranger to building high performance enclosures for loudspeakers. Since 1968, Infinity has been designing and constructing enclosures for our award-winning home audio loudspeakers. This expertise, coupled with their extensive knowledge of in-vehicle acoustics has driven the development of this world-class line of enclosed subwoofers. If you are looking for great bass, free from noise and distortion, then look no further.

Slipstream Port
The Infinity Reference 1220de provides superior performance to competing loaded enclosures primarily due to its revolutionary Slipstream Port. The slipstream port provides lots of surface area outside the box so that the air stays stuck together--the engineers call it an "Adverse Pressure Gradient." That gradual change from high pressure to low pressure eliminates the distortion we hear as "whacking." Because the area of the port in the middle is much smaller than the mouth of the port, the port can be MUCH shorter than a cylindrical port with a surface area the same as Slipstream's mouth. That means it can fit into regular boxes. Stickiness outside the box is maximized by increasing pressure and stickiness inside the port is minimized by reducing velocity. The benefit of this technology is more bass output with greatly reduced port noise and distortion.

Low-distortion bass that pounds in either sealed or vented enclosures.

Reference Series Subwoofer Features

The 1220de comes loaded with two 12-inch 1260w Reference subs.

Large-roll rubber surrounds
This material provides optimum cone-edge suspension and absorbs distortions that may travel up the cone edge, ensuring clean, tight bass.

Vented pole pieces
Provides additional cooling of the motor structure is provided. The subwoofer's thermal capabilities are augmented, thus increasing power handling.

High-gloss-finish polypropylene woofer cones
This lightweight and popular material is used to ensure maximum woofer efficiency. The benefit is high output with modest amplifier power.

Progressive Spiders
Progressive spider construction better controls speaker excursion. Translation? Better sound with less distortion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little setup, May 7, 2009

Fantastic looking setup from infinity. Big but not too big, it fits perfect in the back of my Mazda 6. This thing hits like a ton of bricks, even vibrates my nose. It does tend to be a bit boomy, though I am personally used to sealed enclosures. That is the only reason I did not give it a 5. The splipstream port offers absolutely silent air movement even at max volumes, which I have always been picky about, so that is great. Easy to wire up to a mono-block amp at 2ohms. I runit with Infinity's 600watt RMS mono amp and it's a perfect fit. Not much more to say about it, it is a great little setup.

This review is from: Infinity Reference 1220de Dual 12-Inch Preloaded Enclosure with Slipstream Port (Silver/Black) (Electronics)

I purchased In March 2009 & have loved it since! I have a 99 Lincoln Continental & so trunk space was not an issue & I have had many other systems in other cars! Since my 1st infinity purchase in 2000 I have used only Infinity Kappa!! But these are great & have just as much bass as my older 2 12" kappa's & Love the box these come in! When & if I blow these subs I will use this box for some Infinity Kappa Perfect 12"s!
I was skeptical about a loaded enclosure untill now! I have 450x2 Rms amp on these with another 4 channel running all 6 speakers in car & have a 1/0 guage wire kit with a dist.box that breaks into 2-4 gauge wires! Clarity of Infnity is known with amps!
I listen to rock,rap,punk,classical & these subs perform like champs & have the solid hit of bass from rock or rap drums & I even tried a bass comp CD & holly crap! My firnds have spent $1000's more for over priced hyped up junk! But unless your going comp. These are great!The shake the hell out of my big car & I can't get rid of the rattles I have outside of car becuase its the trunk lid,tail lights & underside of the car that rattles & I cant keep a full can of soda in the cup holder with out it spinning around & going flat quick!! Trust me you can feel your ears & nose vibrate with most songs!! Just now wishing I had a hatchback now!!
