Which Alchemy RX is right for you?
All three RX 12 models share the same proprietary FEA-designed alloy cone, motor, proprietary cast frame, 15 mm Xmax, mounting size and 500 W RMS / 1,000 W rating, and they look the same from the outside. The difference is in the suspension and tuning, which decides the box each one is built for.

The Alumapro difference
Alumapro has built aluminum-cone subwoofers in the USA since 1994. An aluminum alloy cone stays rigid under power where paper and poly cones flex, and it helps draw heat away from the voice coil, so bass stays tight and controlled when you turn it up. Every Alumapro sub is hand built in Huntley, Illinois.
