This affordable woofer is a great choice for 2-way bookshelf speaker designs.Product Highlights
- Woven fiberglass cone lowers resonances for smooth response and natural sound
- 4-layer voice coil on an aluminum former provides excellent heat dissipation
- Rubber surround helps damp the outside edge of the cone improving high frequency response
- Vented pole piece releases air trapped under the dustcap for quiet operation
- Low-profile frame minimizes diffraction making these drivers suitable for surface mount applications
