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.
