PRV Audio’s ALTO Series were carefully crafted and voiced to reproduce a natural, smooth sound while remaining dynamic. To get the superior fidelity, a special composite cone is used to smooth frequency response and to keep the moving mass low, increasing the efficiency. 2″ DUAL layer CCAW voice coil wound on a glass fiber former, 8 ohms Low inductance for great transients and extended high frequency response up to 9,500 Hz Large voice coil winding has improves power handle giving it 450 watts RMS continuous program power rating High sensitivity of 96 db makes this a great budget choice for high output home, car, and professional audio systems Full copper sleeve on the pole-piece for low distortion and inductance GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Nominal Diameter 8″ (203 mm) Nominal impedance 8 Ohms Nominal Power Handling 225 Watts Continuous Program Power (RMS) 450 Watts Max Peak Power 900 Watts Sensitivity 2.83V at 1m 96 dB Recommended Hi Pass Crossover** **For Full Power Handling 140 Hz** **12db Per Octave Crossover Frequency Response 80 – 9,500 Hz Voice Coil Diameter 1.5″ (38 mm) Voice Coil Wire CCAW Voice Coil Winding Depth 11.0 mm Former Material Kapton Magnetic Gap Depth 6.0 mm Frame Material Stamped Steel THIELE-SMALL PARAMETERS Equivalent Volume Vas 34.86 l Excursion (mathematical)*** Xmax 4.00 mm Free Air Resonance Fs 65.26 Hz Mechanical Factor Qms 15.19 Electrical Factor Qes 0.57 Total Factor Qts 0.55 Cone Area Sd 241 cm² Mechanical Mass Mms 13.78 g Bl Factor Bl 7.58 Tm Dc Resistance Re 5.8 Ohms Inductance Le 0.257 mH at 1 kHz Mechanical Mass Without Air Mmd 11.67 g Mechanical Compliance Cms 0.432 mm/N EXTRA INFO Overall Diameter 8.22″ (209 mm) Front Mount Baffle Cutout 7.26″ (184.5 mm) Mounting Depth 3.21″ (81.5 mm) Overall Depth 3.50″ (89 mm) Net Weight 4.63 Lbs (2.1 kg) Shipping Weight 5.07 Lbs (2.3 kg) Carton Dimensions W x L x H 8.66 x 8.66″ x 4.17″ (220 x 220 x 106 mm)
