1 Rubber Surround - Allows for linear operation through a wide variety of temperatures. Does not
dry out due to exposure to UV Radiation
2 Two-piece Composite Cone Design - The cone is made from Glass Fiber bonded to an expanded
foam core to offer excellent damping characteristics while maintaining rigidity and low mass. The dust cap
and the cone are bonded together at the outer edge to increase strength

3 Dual Linear Conex Spiders - Ensures linear operation at high excursion levels.
4 Spring Loaded Terminals - Ensures a solid connection that will not loosen over time.
5 3-inch 4-Layer Voice Coil on ASV Former- Provides excellent power handling while reducing the
effects of power compression. ASV is a low-mass material capable of handling significant amounts of heat
without distorting.
6 Spider Exhaust Technology - Allows pressurized air to escape from beneath the spider mounting plateau to allow for more linear driver operation. Allows heat to escape from the motor assembly to
increase power handling.
7 Dual magnet assembly - Provides a massive magnetic field to increase driver efficiency. Large
thermal mass helps to increase driver power handling.
8 Extended Bottom Plate - Allows for more excursion due to increased distance between the bottom
plate and the voice coil former.
9 Cast Aluminum Chassis - Provides solid, resonance free foundation for the driver.
