The X-Series Thank you for choosing the NVX X-Series. Our X-Series is a crowning achievement of modern loudspeaker engineering – decades of research, development and installation experience have combined to create a truly remarkable subwoofer. Our uncompromising approach to manufacturing is unique in the industry, and shines through brightly in the quality and performance of the X-Series.

Cone After testing scores of different cone materials, we decided on a custom blend of finely milled pulp & Egyptian Papyrus fibers. This stiff yet lightweight material produces spectacularly accurate bass with a rich, natural tonal quality prized by audiophiles. The smooth matte finish of the cone offers a sleek, modern accent to the interior of any car. Surround/Suspension The X-series include oSd surround technology (U.S.

Aluminum Shorting Ring Perhaps the most distinguishing component of the X-Series subwoofers is the innovative aluminum shorting ring sys- tem. This technology prevents a rise in inductance caused by the movement of the driver, which has several positive impacts on the subwoofers’ performance: 1.
Page 5
What is this shorting ring? The shorting ring is a conductive aluminum ring placed in the air gap between the pole piece and the voice coil former to reduce inductance. Inductance can best be understood as the change in magnetic energy that occurs as the voice coil moves in and out of the air gap.

So why does it work? Improved power delivery to the voice coil ● Any increase in inductance correlates to an increase in voice coil impedance, meaning increased resistance to ► the input power. By preventing inductance rise, we effectively increase the amount of power carried to the voice coil, increasing the output potential of the woofer with each given watt.

Improved high-end extension ● The low-pass filter in a standard crossover network is basically just a coiled conductive wire with an iron core ► very similar to the design of a voice coil. When the inductance of the voice coil increases, it begins to filter out notes at the top of the woofer’s frequency range.

Optimized for Small Enclosures While the NVX X-Series are not the only subwoofers on the market that thrive in small enclosures, they also offer an unparalleled combination of deep bass and shallow mounting depth. The truth is, while some competitive woofers may work well in small volume enclosures, they require as much as 8-inch of depth, far too much to fit behind a truck seat or in a small trunk.

Custom Low Turbulence Cast Aluminum Basket Our custom basket offers several distinct advantages over traditional designs. We purposefully chose an especially open basket to improve airflow to reduce compression of the motor structure for both improved cone control as well as reduced back-wave interference.

High-Excursion Strain-Relieved Tinsel Leads There is perhaps no better example of our relentless attention to detail than the unique attachment method of our tinsel leads. Whereas the leads of most subwoofers are simply glued atop the spider, ours are glued at the basin of each fold in the spider with enough slack on top for unrestricted excursion.

Enclosures The enclosure designs listed below will give you the best possible performance from your X-Series subwoofer. NVX woofers are optimized for use in both ported and sealed enclosures, each of which has distinct sonic characteristics. Sealed Box - X-Series Subwoofers were specifically designed for use in sealed enclosures to obtain optimal SQ performance.

This results in markedly improved efficiency and low frequency response. These enclosures are somewhat larger than the sealed alternative. Specifications subject to change without notice, please refer to our website at: nvx.com...
