12" replacement basket for PA cabinets

The Peavey 1208-8 SPS BWX is a 12-inch replacement basket designed for professional PA speaker repair. It suits technicians and venue operators who need to restore a damaged driver without replacing the entire enclosure. The unit arrives new and ready for installation in compatible Peavey cabinets.

8-ohm impedance and 500 W continuous power handling

The basket presents an 8-ohm nominal impedance with a 5.43-ohm DC resistance, matching amplifiers rated for 8-ohm loads. Continuous power handling is 500 W, with 1000 W program and 2000 W peak ratings. Usable frequency range extends from 50 Hz to 3.5 kHz, and sensitivity measures 96.9 dB at 1 W / 1 m.

Kevlar-impregnated cellulose cone

The cone uses Kevlar-impregnated cellulose for stiffness and controlled breakup. A 4.0-inch (100 mm) voice coil employs aluminum ribbon wire on a polyimide-impregnated fiberglass former with a Nomex stiffener and solderless diffusion-welded OFHC copper leads. This construction determines thermal capacity and mechanical linearity for high-output PA applications.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8 ohm or a different impedance version?

This driver is built at 8 ohms nominal with a 5.43 ohm voice coil resistance. Choose it when your amplifier or crossover is designed for an 8 ohm load; otherwise match the impedance your system requires.

What does the 500 W continuous rating mean when the speaker is in a cabinet?

500 W continuous is the thermal limit the voice coil can handle long term. In a real enclosure the usable output also depends on cabinet tuning, high pass filtering and how much low frequency excursion the box allows before Xmax of 4.7 mm is reached.

How does the 3.5 kHz upper frequency limit affect crossover design?

The usable range stops at 3.5 kHz so the crossover must hand off to a compression driver or tweeter at or below that point. The 96.9 dB sensitivity helps match output levels with common high frequency drivers.
