Woofer Introduction

Cast Basket

Dual voice coil woofers use a polished chrome aluminum cast basket for alignment and rigidity.

Spun Aluminum 1 Piece Cone

Offers stability, strength, and high output without cone failure and lowers distortion.

Woofer Features

Aluminum Voice Coil Former

Anodized aluminum former for efficient thermal transfer and improved power handling.

Extended Pole Piece

Provides a more linear magnetic field, lowering distortion and improving low frequency response.

Vented Oversized Back Plate

Allows more excursion and higher power handling by circulating cool air around the voice coil.

Voice Coil

4-layer, edge wound voice coil design for various impedance loads; dual 6 ohm configuration.

EPDM Surround

1.75" EPDM surround is resilient to temperature variations, improving clarity and frequency response.

Flat Spider
