Key Performance Features & Technical Specifications

• Optimized Power Handling: Rated at 300 W RMS with a maximum power handling of 600 W MAX, making it ideal for pairing with a wide variety of monoblock and multi-channel amplifiers.

• Dual 2-Ohm Impedance ($2+2\Omega$): Features dual voice coils configured for maximum system flexibility, allowing you to wire the subwoofer down to a $1\Omega$ nominal load to extract maximum power from mono amplifiers, or series-wire to a $4\Omega$ load.

• Precision Voice Coil Design: Equipped with a 1.75-inch copper voice coil wire designed to efficiently dissipate heat during extended playing sessions at high volume levels.

• High-Excursion & Linear Cone Motion: Combines a light yet rigid pressed paper cone with a flexible foam surround, offering high sensitivity (88.90 dB SPL) and clean cone travel with an Xmax​ of $10.00\text{ mm}$ (and maximum mechanical excursion Xmeh​ of $20.00\text{ mm}$).

• Robust Motor & Frame Construction: Powered by a sturdy ferrite magnet motor structure and supported by a durable stamped steel frame to minimize resonance and structural distortion under heavy excursion.

• Acoustic Parameters:
