Product Description
Product Description
The JBL GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer pumps out lush, car-rocking bass through a design so cool you won’t want to hide it in your trunk. The patented Slipstream port design delivers deep bottom end while minimizing turbulence. Turbulence, or port noise at high volume, isn’t just annoying; it’s a signal that the port is no longer working and you’re getting less bass than you paid for. The Slipstream design is carefully optimised for the combination of woofer, amp and enclosure, and no other company has it. And with the included remote control for drive-time adjustments, the only time you’ll need to stop is for gas.

Key Features
12" (305mm) polypropylene cone
The JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer features a polypropylene cone and a rubber surround to provide superior reliability and cone resonance damping. All of that technology translates into tight, powerful, natural-sounding bass that may outlast your car.
Built-in 150-watt amplifier
The JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer system’s built-in amplifier is designed to complement its subwoofer for maximum performance. You won’t have to worry about finding the right amp. We’ve included it for you.
Remote level control
Let the other guy have to stop and pop the trunk. The JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer’s remote level control lets you adjust the bass from the driver’s seat, so you can enjoy your ride without interruption.
VIEW LARGERThis powered subwoofer features a polypropylene cone and a rubber surround
to provide superior reliability and cone resonance damping.
Progressive spider
The JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer’s progressive spider exerts control over the cone’s motion at high excursion for superior reliability even at the highest listening levels.
Vented polepiece
The JBL® GT-Basspro12 powered subwoofer’s vented polepiece helps cool the subwoofer’s motor for improved power handling and lower power compression. That technology makes the JBL® GT-BassPro12 one cool subwoofer.
Slipstream port
A proprietary Slipstream port is a special feature of the JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer. The port’s dual flares form an adverse pressure gradient that eliminates port noise at high output – noise that signals that the port is no longer able to pass enough air to operate effectively. The Slipstream port provides clean, distortion-free performance even at the highest output levels.
VIEW LARGERThe Slipstream port provides clean,
distortion-free performance even at the highest output levels
Oversize, dual-stacked magnets
The JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer uses oversized, stacked magnets to increase magnetic flux for higher output and cone motion control, and room for high voice-coil excursion.
Speaker-level and line-level inputs
The JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer has flexible connections that allow you to connect it to any car audio system.
Automatic on/off function
The JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer automatically turns on when it senses a signal on the speaker level input, eliminating the need for a remote turn-on wire when the system uses the speaker level inputs. What’s more, the GT-BassPro12 will automatically turn itself off a few minutes after the signal stops.
Oversized speaker-protection bars
Your JBL® GT-BassPro12 powered subwoofer looks every bit as powerful as it sounds. Its speaker-protection bars help keep the woofer cone safe and project a sleek, muscular look.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I came upon this JBL sub while looking for a new one. I could not believe the price so I did some research on it and liked what I saw so I took a swing and bought it. Arrived in excellent condition since it was double boxed. Comes with a remote to adjust the level from your sitting position but I do not want to use it. I used the previous 4awg cable I already have installed but unfortunately the wire is to thick for the input on the amp so I cut some of the wire off to make it fit. I don't think that is the right thing to do but desperate times call for desperate measures.
At first I did a sloppy job at cutting and connecting the power cables to the inputs on the amp but it got the job done. Turned the radio on and the sub turned on as well so that was a good sign. At first impressions it sounded good and was exactly what I was looking for. But I was not satisfied with the was I put the power and ground cable to the amp so I took my time and did it right to make sure no cable strands were sticking out. I lowered the level knob a little below half and set the low pass a little above 80hz. Set the high pass filter on the stereo to 90hz so the speakers play nothing below that and holy smokes!! I hit the sweet spot. The bass is so deep and powerful you can feel it in your soul. It's not thumpy or boomy which is what I wanted. It almost sounds as good as my home theater sub. It reflects perfectly off the speakers which is what you want. It should not be directional to the point that you know the bass is coming for the sub in the back. It should sound that it is coming from the speakers.
Never have I bothered with JBL products but now they have my attention. Definitely worth the money if you are looking for an all in one package. Nice and compact size and definitely excellent sound quality if you take your time to adjust it.
After going into CarToys to listen to it, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. I've been using it for the past few months and I love it. It's super powerful and produces deep, clean, and punchy sounds. As far as capability goes, this thing is more than powerful enough, I keep it very low and yet it's over exceeds what I need. I listen to all types of music, so the included remote is handy to control the levels.
It was simple to setup and didn't take much time except for the usual offenders (finding a hole in the firewall and routing cables). I haven't had any issues with the sub going out and it's been working flawlessly.
It is a pretty hefty sub so if weight is a concern you may not want to go with this. It's not a deal breaker for me and honestly the weight helps it from sliding around. It doesn't take up too much space in my trunk considering it's a ported box. The back slopes perfectly to allow it to be pushed up against seats to save as much space as possible, which I really appreciate in my rather small car. It's obviously not as portable as a seat-shaker, but for the power it has, you can't beat it.
For the price, you just can't beat the JBL GT-BassPro12, definitely recommend to anyone looking for an amazing subwoofer without destroying your wallet!
If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out, and I'd be glad to help!
The install kit was trash. Cheap CCA wire and weak wire connectors. Its a 6 dollar copper coated aluminum kit disguised as a 30 dollar kit
This JBL Harmon (Of Harman Kardon) 12" dual coil sub and 150 watt Harman amplifier is a SbS home run! (SbS - single box solution) just dont get the 29.95 Dual install kit. - total junk-
Unboxing reveals a 12" tuned and ported JBL Box with sub and amp built in.
Install was in 2014 Taurus Police Interceptor, installed by running RCA inputs to both rear speakers, jumpered the blue (amp on/off wire) directly to positive terminal, turned the auto turn on switch to on, ran a 4 ga power wire from batt to amp, ground strap to rear decklid
Boom! Green lite came on and this setup blew us away.
Crisp clear 40 to 350hz adjustable bass, line level adjust and bass boost and this setup legitimately banged pretty hard.
At its price point it is a winner! Youre not gonna win competitions with it,, but as a one box solution for ANY base model that needs some serious low end boost, look no further! Its quite impressive!
Make sure you have a solid direct to battery connection and a solid less than a few feet ground and youll have enough power to run it well. The killer of setups like these is clipping from poor power supply conditions - that crackle when bass hits, contrary to popular belief- isnt too much power, its too little, and that will smoke the voice coils fast. Give it clean power and signal and dont expect windshield expanding bass notes (but good solid trunk rattling bass regardless) and you will be quite happy for the price.
This is my 5th install of this model, 2014 Interceptor, 2005 Savana Hi Top van, 2010 Tahoe, 2005 Tahoe and 2007 Escalade. Each and every vehicle sounds spectacular!
5 stars for sure!

Top reviews from other countries
Attaching cables to the amp is awkward and required me to solder my wires to prevent the wires from just falling out from the upside down screw lock that sucks to work with. I was working with 8 ga wire which is far too big for those screw holes. Once properly installed though not a big deal.
Bass boost is a nice feature to bring out tones near the 40 hz range.
A nice package that peps up regular music with enough headroom to crank it for the more aggressive or complicated stuff.
It takes up quite a bit of room in the trunk so make sure the dimensions work for you. This speaker will also overpower your stock speakers if turned up really high so take the time to find a level that works.
I would recommend his speaker to anyone trying to spice up a stock stereo system
