High fidelity meets high output — PRV Audio ALTO Series Woofers. Audio experts and professional musicians know that tone can make or break a performance, in the studio or on the stage. That’s why PRV Audio’s Alto Series woofers were carefully crafted and voiced to create a natural, smooth sound while remaining dynamic.
With improved excursion and higher power handling over PRV’s popular 12W750A, the 12W800A Alto series 12″ professional 8 ohm woofer offers improved output capability and more low frequency impact.


Its robust design ensures durability and reliability, making it suitable for demanding environments. Additionally, the 12W800A offers excellent thermal management and low distortion, ensuring dynamic midbass reponse with clear and accurate sound reproduction across various applications.
Featuring a multi-roll surround, large raised spider, and 2.50″ light-weight voice coil, the 12W800A is capable of high output while keeping distortion under control.
Thanks to its high x-max of 5.72 mm, this speaker can handle high excursion tones without compromising sound quality. This allows it to deliver impressive low frequency performance while maintaining clarity and definition on vocals. Whether you’re building a home theater or a car audio system like a stuntwall, the 12W800A ensures powerful and precise audio reproduction.
