It is designed by speaker engineer Dr. Rishi S. Gurbani and sold as a pair. A wideband covers the midrange and the highs from a single cone, playing all the way to 20 kHz. That means it can run with no tweeter at all, removing a crossover point from the most sensitive part of the music and giving you a remarkably coherent, natural stage. The small 2 inch cone holds its top end across a wide range of angles, which is exactly what a dash or factory location firing across the car needs. Built to Perform The Inspire 2 uses the kind of motor and materials you usually see on far more expensive drivers, all aimed at low distortion and wide, even dispersion. Copper Shorting Ring A copper shorting ring lowers inductance and stabilizes the motor's magnetic field, which cuts distortion and keeps the high end clean and detailed. Neodymium Motor A high-strength neodymium motor delivers strong, controlled output from a compact, lightweight magnet structure that fits tight locations. Coated Paper Cone A coated paper cone with a magnesium dustcap and a one-piece butyl surround balances low mass with control for a natural, low-fatigue sound. Wide Off-Axis Response The small cone holds its high frequencies across wide angles, so it keeps its top end even firing across the car from a flat dash location. How to Run It The Inspire 2 carries the whole upper range on its own. You pair it with a midbass below and, ideally, a subwoofer for the bottom. The one rule that protects it is the crossover. High-pass the Inspire 2 at 300 Hz minimum, or 350 Hz in the included pod, on a 24 dB-per-octave slope. The small 2mm-excursion cone runs out of travel quickly down low, so this floor is what keeps it clean. Cross it higher and it handles more power: 75 watts at 350 Hz, up to 100 watts at 400 Hz. A higher crossover gives the cone more room and raises usable power, which is the whole principle of running a small wideband well. These power ratings assume clean, low-distortion power. A clipping or distorted amplifier sends DC-like energy and harmonics straight into the voice coil that this driver was never rated to take, and a small wideband will fail almost instantly. Distortion, not wattage, is what kills these drivers. Do not run a small, cheap, or underpowered amplifier into clipping. Invest in a clean amplifier with honest power and headroom to spare, set the gains correctly, and this driver will outlast your car. In normal use a wideband only draws 10 to 20 watts to play loud. Run it as the wideband in a tweeterless front stage: high-pass it to a midbass such as the Karma Mobile Audio Allure 6 Midbass or Aspect 6.9, and add a subwoofer for the low end. Because the Inspire 2 needs no tweeter, you free up amplifier and DSP channels for a center channel or a front sub. Fitment and Integration The Inspire 2 is built for compact and off-axis installs. Its small size and wide dispersion make it ideal for factory wideband or center locations, dash corners, and A-pillars. Bare flange: 77.5mm. Cutout: 66mm. Bolt circle: 74.2mm, six holes. Bare depth: 44.7mm. In the pod: 77.5mm diameter by 72.5mm deep. Confirm against your location using the mounting drawing before install. See the full Karma lineup Tweeterless Front Stage Pair the Inspire 2 with a Karma midbass and a sub for a clean front stage with no tweeter to blend. Factory Wideband Location A direct upgrade for vehicles that use an OEM dash or center wideband speaker and have no factory tweeter. Best for Flat Dash Locations Its wide off-axis top end makes it the easy pick for a flat factory dash that fires across the car, where you cannot aim the driver. Inspire 2 or Inspire 3? Choose the Inspire 2 for tight factory spots and the widest off-axis top end. Choose the Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 3 for more output and a lower crossover when you can aim it on-axis. The Flagship Karma Sound Every Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 from Audio Intensity is backed by warranty and setup help from a working SQ judge.
