Sky High Car Audio FMX Series 18" Subwoofer – 3500W RMS D1/D2
Sold by AudioSellerz.com
The Sky High Car Audio FMX Series 18" Subwoofer is built for serious low-end junkies—big cone area, huge motor, and true high-power handling for walls, blow-throughs, and brutal demo systems. As part of the FMX “Forged to Perform. Built to Endure.” lineup (up to 3500W RMS), the 18 inch model brings maximum surface area and excursion to the table for deep, violent bass in large enclosures.
FMX was engineered from real-world abuse in loud daily and competition vehicles—not just spec sheet flex. The FMX 18 uses an overbuilt motor structure, high-temperature coil, and heavy-duty suspension to survive high clamp power and long demo sessions when you support it with the right electrical and enclosure design. This is the 18" you choose when you want show-level output that can still live in a daily-driven system.
Available in dual 1 ohm (D1) and dual 2 ohm (D2) voice coil options, the FMX Series 18" gives you flexible wiring choices for big Korean or Brazilian monoblocks, whether you’re running a single monster sub or multiple 18s in a wall or big SUV/van build.
