Features
Polypropylene
Cone: The woofer features a silver polypropylene cone with a raised MTX
Audio and tribal design logo. Polypropylene is lightweight yet durable and
offers efficient, dependable bass response.
High Roll NBR Surround: The woofer features a stitched high roll
Nitrile-Butylene Rubber surround which uses FEA optimized roll geometry to maximize excursion
without sacrificing cone surface area.
Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils: This woofer features dual 4-ohm
voice coils that offer flexibility in wiring. When the voice coils are wired in
parallel with each other, the woofer presents a 2-ohm mono load. When the voice
coils are wired in series with each other, the woofer presents an 8-ohm mono
load. In addition, each coil may be connected to a different amplifier channel
and each channel will see a 4-ohm load.
Voice Coils: The voice coils are wound
on a high-temperature former to promote high power handling.
Asymmetrical Linear Drive System (ALDS): The Asymmetrical Linear Drive System consists of a flat, progressive spider that
improves suspension and an extended vented pole piece that smoothes out the
cone's linear motion. The result is high output and low distortion.
Spider Plateau Venting:
Heat from the voice coil is vented through metal-mesh covered vents that
surround the back of the spider.
