Woofer Features Part 1
Aluminum Voice Coil Former
Anodized aluminum former for efficient thermal transfer and improved power handling by dissipating heat.
Extended Pole Piece
Extended pole piece for a more linear magnetic field, reducing distortion and improving low frequency response.
Vented Oversized Back Plate
Deeper back plate for more excursion; vented for cooling voice coil, allowing higher power handling.
Voice Coil Design
4-layer, edge-wound voice coil for various impedance loads; Excursion subs feature single 4-ohm coil.
Woofer Features Part 2
2 Inch Treated Foam Surround
Resilient surround provides consistent support for linear cone motion, improving clarity via damping.
Flat Spider Design
Provides symmetrical control of voice coil, reducing harmonic distortion for improved sound quality.
Chrome Finish
Durable protective metal finish, enhances appearance, especially in plexi style enclosures.
Convex Dust Cap
Increases cone rigidity and power handling by forcing air through voice coil, smoothing frequency response.
