Composite polypropylene cone wooferOptimally designed polypropylene diaphragm gives deep bass while suppressed peaks and dips in the mid and high frequency smooth integration with the tweeter. Foam rubber surroundThe woofer surround material is made of foam rubber, manufactured with an air-filled matrix structure that is light-weight and durable, providing optimal damping characteristics for responsive bass notes. Silk soft-dome tweeterBased on technology developed for our premium speaker designs, the soft-dome tweeter boasts a flat frequency response and wider dispersion. In addition, its silk diaphragm contributes to natural and smooth sound with good internal loss. Progressive height rate spiderThe acoustically-optimized spider allows for higher power handling and airflow, with a profile designed for more rapid and precise cushioning of the speaker cone. Dynamic Air DiffuserThe integrated Dynamic Air Diffuser ensures efficient air circulation for smooth cone travel and cooling of the voice coil. Easy installationThe smaller tweeter chassis and shallow woofer basket decrease physical interference with factory grilles, enabling easy installation in a wider variety of vehicles.
