More about the product
The Hertz HMS 12 S2 LD-SW is a premium marine subwoofer designed to deliver powerful bass performance in open-water environments. Built with marine-grade materials and advanced engineering, this model ensures durability and consistent sound quality even under harsh conditions.
The HMS 12 S2 LD-SW features a 12-inch polypropylene cone that is resistant to moisture and UV rays, making it ideal for marine applications. Its robust construction guarantees accurate low-frequency reproduction while withstanding exposure to salt, humidity, and sunlight. Operating at 2 ohms, the subwoofer offers efficient power handling and works seamlessly with a wide range of marine amplifiers.
The motor structure includes a high-density ferrite magnet and a long-excursion design, enabling the HMS 12 S2 LD-SW to produce deep, punchy bass without distortion. The suspension system is optimised for marine environments, ensuring reliable performance even during extended high-volume playback. The frame and grille are coated for corrosion resistance, adding to its long-term durability.
Installation is simple thanks to its infinite baffle design, which allows the subwoofer to be mounted directly into a boat’s hull without requiring a dedicated enclosure. This makes it perfect for marine setups where space is limited but high-quality bass is essential.
A standout feature is the integrated RGB LED lighting system, which adds a stylish touch to any boat interior. The waterproof lighting system offers customisable colour options, creating an ambient glow that enhances the overall aesthetic without compromising durability.
With a power handling capability of up to 500 watts RMS and 1000 watts peak, the HMS 12 S2 LD-SW delivers strong, impactful bass that complements full-range marine speakers. It is engineered to perform reliably in environments where traditional car audio components would fail, making it a top choice for marine enthusiasts seeking premium sound.
