At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Enclosure Compatibility
Features
Dual Voice Coils:
For increased system flexibility, the woofer has two 4 ohm voice coils. When the
voice coils are wired in parallel the woofer presents a 2 ohm load. When the
voice coils are wired in series the woofer presents an 8 ohm load. In addition,
each coil may be connected to a different amplifier channel and each channel
will see a 4 ohm load.
High-efficiency Polypropylene
Woofer Cone: This lightweight and popular material is used to ensure maximum
woofer efficiency. The benefit is high output with modest amplifier power.
Large-roll Rubber Surround: The
large-roll rubber surround provides optimum cone-edge suspension and absorbs
distortion that may travel up the cone edge, ensuring clean, tight bass.
Proprietary Basket: The unique
in-board motor structure reduces the overall mounting depth, without limiting
enclosure options.
Vented Polepiece: The vented
polepiece provides additional cooling of the motor structure, thus increasing power handling.
Gold-plated Binding Posts: The
gold-plated binding posts will accept pin connectors, spade connectors, banana
plugs, and bare wire up to 10 gauge.
Note: The binding posts
are positioned too far apart to accept dual banana plugs.
Enclosure Compatibility
Sealed Box Volume: Infinity
recommends a sealed enclosure with an internal volume of 1.25 cu/ft. Sealed
enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle more power, and
provide more accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable to all types of
music.
Ported Box Volume: Infinity
recommends a ported enclosure with an internal volume of 2.0 cu/ft with one 4"
diameter x 12.25" long port. Ported (or vented) enclosures provide better
efficiency in the 40-50Hz range, and are suitable for use with small amplifiers,
giving you more bass output from less power. However, this efficiency comes at
the expense of sound quality at low frequencies (40Hz and below), and control.
Bandpass Box Volume: Infinity
recommends a bandpass enclosure with an internal volume of 2.5 cu/ft. The
enclosure has a sealed chamber volume of 1.25 cu/ft and a ported chamber volume
of 1.25 cu/ft with two 4" diameter x 8" long ports. Bandpass enclosures often
provide the most output available from any amplifier and subwoofer combination
at the expense of sonic accuracy. If sheer SPL is desired most, a bandpass
enclosure is recommended.
