Features
Dual 2-ohm Voice Coils: This woofer features dual 2-ohm voice coils that offer flexibility in wiring. When the voice coils are wired in parallel with each other, the woofer presents a 1-ohm mono load. When the voice coils are wired in series with each other, the woofer presents a 4-ohm mono load. In addition, each coil may be connected to a different amplifier channel and each channel will see a 2-ohm load.
Woofer: The aluminum parabolic woofer cone is lightweight and extremely strong, giving the woofer very high power handling, low distortion, and superior bass response.
High Excursion Thermo-Rubber Surround: The use of a "tall/skinny" high excursion thermo-rubber surround allows for linear cone travel on a high excursion driver without reducing cone area.
Parabolic Triangular Cone Geometry Support System: By bonding an aluminum parabolic dust cap of equivalent size to the cone body, a balanced triangular structure is created. This system reduces piston flex and eliminates cone distortion.
Mirror Image Symmetrical Spiders: Dual-opposing spiders offer superior mechanical stability during high excursions, while maintaining linear travel.
Spider Support Ring: This integrated ring increases the bonding surface area between the voice coil former and spider, establishing a stronger joint. The result is increased mechanical power handling under high power/high excursion situations.
Anodized Aluminum Voice Coil Former: Aluminum voice coil formers offer superior heat dissipation over other commonly used materials. The hard-anodized finish increases the former strength. These two factors combine to improve the overall power handling characteristics of the subwoofer.
Precision Cast Aluminum Alloy Basket: A two-piece "basket in a bucket" design adds rigidity and eliminates multiple acoustic resonances. Additionally, the large aluminum mass helps reduce voice coil former temperature and increase power handling.
Double Stacked Magnet Motor Assembly: The stacked magnet assembly is used to create a powerful linear motor with increased excursion capability for superior bass output.
Slot-Loaded Spring Terminals: The proprietary, slot-loaded spring terminals will accept pin connectors and up to 8-gauge bare wire.
Concealing Ring: Once the subwoofer is mounted, the metal concealing ring can be installed to hide the mounting screws, giving the subwoofer a finished look.
