Details

Add deep, powerful bass to your vehicle without sacrificing valuable cargo space with the Orion Cobalt CPE120 12" Active Down-Firing Enclosure. Designed as a compact all-in-one bass solution, this enclosure combines a 12-inch subwoofer with a built-in amplifier and sealed, down-firing enclosure for strong low-frequency performance in a space-conscious design. With 500W RMS and 1,500W peak power handling, the CPE120 delivers powerful bass without requiring a separate external amplifier.

The down-firing configuration directs the subwoofer toward the vehicle's floor, helping enhance low-frequency output while keeping the speaker protected. The integrated amplifier provides optimized power delivery for a simple installation, while the airtight MDF enclosure helps minimize unwanted resonance for cleaner and more controlled bass performance. With adjustable bass boost and a variable low-pass crossover, the CPE120 allows you to fine-tune the bass response to match your vehicle and listening preferences.

Finished with durable black and grey industrial-strength automotive-grade carpet, the CPE120 provides a clean appearance while helping keep the enclosure secure during vehicle operation. Its compact design makes it an excellent choice for vehicles with limited installation space, providing a powerful bass upgrade without the complexity of a traditional subwoofer and external amplifier setup.
