MEMPHIS TN  (12.03.25) – The all-new PRX Enclosures from Memphis are turning heads with a complete visual and performance overhaul. The new PRXE12SFT single 12” and PRXE12DFT dual 12” enclosures bring serious output, cleaner sound, and one of the coolest looks ever seen in the Power Reference lineup.

The first thing you’ll notice is the new LED-illuminated Power Reference subwoofers—they light up with a vibrant glow that looks as good as it sounds. The new flared front-firing port features a Memphis logo badge illuminated in matching LED light, adding a custom high-end appearance straight out of the box. The enclosures are finished in a sleek black and gray two-tone carpet that perfectly complements the updated woofers for a clean, factory-custom vibe.

Beyond the looks, these enclosures deliver real performance. The single 12” enclosure packs 500W RMS / 1000W peak, while the dual 12” enclosure doubles that with 1000W RMS / 2000W peak. The redesigned plastic port flare isn’t just for show—it improves airflow, eliminates vent noise, and keeps tuning stable even at high output. That means tight, deep bass that stays clean no matter how hard you push it.

Memphis’ FLEX Selectable Impedance Technology gives installers total control, with the single 12” enclosure configurable to 1Ω, 2Ω, or 4Ω, and the dual enclosure to 0.5Ω, 1Ω, or 2Ω—perfect for matching any amplifier setup.

“These new PRX enclosures look absolutely killer,” said Nick LoMonaco, President of Memphis Audio. “The LED woofers and glowing Memphis logo give them that full custom feel, and the new port flare makes them sound as good as they look. Plus, everyone knows LED lighting adds at least 3–6 dB of output—it’s science.”
