This enclosure holds 0.60 cu ft net per chamber. In it the Wavtech thinPRO12 runs a system Qtc of 0.86 with half power at 41.4 Hz, and the cone reaches its 20.0 mm travel limit at 1600 W, above the driver’s 750 W thermal rating, so heat stops you before travel does. Run a subsonic filter at 25 Hz and that becomes 1787 W — +186 W, or 12 percent more power for the same 20.0 mm of travel.

01Is it a sealed driver?

Efficiency bandwidth product places the motor before anything else is decided.

EBP = Fs ÷ Qes = 51.0
SEALED 0–50 TRANSITION 50–100 PORTED 100–150 0 50 100 150 4 51.0
4 · EBP 51.0
At 51.0 the thinPRO12 sits in the transition band, not the sealed band. That is not a mismatch: a transition motor works in either alignment, and sealed buys a smaller box and a gentler roll-off at the cost of some low-end output. Stage 02 shows what this airspace actually does with it.

02What the box does to it

0.60 cu ft against a 42.0 L Vas.

α = Vas ÷ Vb = 2.47  ·  Fc = Fs√(α+1) = 48 Hz  ·  Qtc = 0.86
20 30 50 70 100 150 200 +6 +0 -6 -12 -18 -24 FREQUENCY · Hz LEVEL · dB −3 dB
4 · Qtc 0.86, Fc 48 Hz, F3 41.4 Hz
The box lifts resonance from 26.0 Hz free-air to 48 Hz and half power lands at 41.4 Hz, anechoic, before any cabin gain.

03The watts that reach Xmax (in this enclosure)

Travel scales with the square root of power, so there is one wattage that puts the cone exactly on 20.0 mm — and a bigger one once a subsonic filter stops it wasting travel below the passband.

PXmax = 1600 W unfiltered  →  1787 W with a 25 Hz subsonic
20 30 50 70 100 150 200 0 8 16 24 FREQUENCY · Hz CONE TRAVEL · mm PAST LINEAR TRAVEL · Xmax 20.0 mm 1600 W reaches Xmax here
4 · 1600 W, no filter4 · 1787 W with subsonic at 25 Hz, 24 dB/octXmax 20.0 mm one-way
Every trace touches the limit and no further, because each is drawn at the exact power that puts that coil on 20.0 mm. Unfiltered that is 1600 W, reached first at 27 Hz. It sits above the 750 W the driver can take thermally, so the voice coil gives up before the suspension does. The dashed traces are the same driver behind a subsonic filter at 25 Hz, 24 dB/oct: stopping the cone wasting travel below the passband lets it take 1787 W before hitting the same 20.0 mm. That is 12 percent more amplifier for the price of one filter setting.

From the shop floor

Installer's take

Check your year and cab. This fits the 2015 to 2023 F-150 and the 2017 to 2023 F-250, mounted behind the rear seat on the passenger side.

The thinPRO 12 gives you twelve inch cone area at 3.0 inches of mounting depth, which is what makes a 12 possible in a space normally reserved for a 10. Cutout is 11.125 inches and this cabinet takes up to 3.5 inches of driver depth.

Plan the wiring before the box arrives. The thinPRO 12 is a single voice coil driver, so your impedance is set by the driver rather than by how you wire the coils, and there is no series or parallel option to fall back on if your amplifier does not like the load.
