Spec Sheet PDF

The light but stiff cotton-fiber cone material plus double spider make this an exceptional high SPL subwoofer.

At SB we believe in the importance of subjective listening during the development process to complement the advanced FEM stimulation, motor optimization, diaphragm design, voice coil technology, adhesives etc. We have done extensive listening and also compared to several high priced competing transducers, and at SB Audience we are really excited about the sound of these new drivers. The new line of products incorporate a heavy duty distinctive looking cast aluminium rear chamber that visually define the new products. The chamber has been optimized to minimize resonances and absorb reflections.

Some sample boxes:

Sealed box of 2.75 cubic feet for a 3dB down of 85Hz, 6dB down of 55Hz, 9dB down of 45Hz and 12dB down of 34Hz.  You'll have to add some boost electronically to use this woofer as a subwoofer in a sealed box.

Vented box of 4 cubic feet with (2x) 4" diameter vents by 8" long for a 3dB down of 40Hz and 6dB down of 34Hz.
