Answer Found! Right from the top!
M&K 12" SuperFast driver (part #17035) was the last iteration of the 12" and
I believe it was also used in the VX1250.
All the best

From the fingers of Ken Kreisel
Ken,
Thank you for your email and very kind words. They are very much appreciated.
The #17035 is basically a SuperFast version of the driver used in the MX350THX subwoofer, but made in China. It therefore can be used in an MX350THX on down in any M&K 12" single or dual driver subwoofer. This particular driver is 8 ohms. I have recommended this driver as a replacement for older M&K subwoofers all the way back to the very first original single 12" Volkswoofer. Some of these subwoofers normally use 4 ohm drivers, but because this driver is a little more efficient and a 4 ohm version has not been readily available, people have used it as a replacement for 4 ohm M&K drivers and have had the expected excellent results.
You want to be careful as there appears to be some possible counterfeit M&K drivers on the Internet. I know that the people at www.mavin.com bought the last of the authentic 12" SuperFast 17035 drivers at the M&K auction. As long as these are the drivers they are selling, they are authentic.
I do plan to have some new 12" Ultra-High Velocity drivers available in the near future, both 4 ohms and 8 ohms, which can be used as upgrade replacements.
Hope this is of some help.
Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.
In the meantime,
GOOD SOUND TO YOU.....ALWAYS,

Any one with any info on whether or not the ultra fast woofer came into being?
Hello Ken,
If you get this message, I have a question concerning another M&K Sub-woofer, the MX-80. I bought this from a seller at a Flea-market. The Sub-woofer works fine, except that the amplifier metal plate gets really, really hot during operation.
Is this normal of this amplifiers?
Thanks in advance.
