Dayton Audio PCS175-4 Specification SheetBuying Options
The PCS175-4 is engineered to provide balanced midbass performance and dependable operation in two-way loudspeakers and other low frequency applications. Its polypropylene cone offers excellent damping characteristics while resisting moisture and environmental changes. The grey cone and inverted dustcap give the driver a distinctive, modern appearance that complements contemporary speaker designs. The PCS175-4 serves as a direct replacement woofer for the Dayton Audio B65 bookshelf speaker, providing a convenient solution for restoring bass and midrange performance to any damaged systems.
A compliant rubber surround allows controlled excursion, while the large diameter flat spider maintains proper alignment of the moving assembly to keep the voice coil centered during dynamic playback. The motor system uses a ferrite magnet paired with a four-layer voice coil wound on an aluminum former, providing improved thermal capacity and helping the driver maintain consistent performance during demanding listening sessions.
The stamped steel frame offers rigid support while maintaining a low-profile lip suitable for surface-mounted installations. With sensitivity of 89 dB and frequency response extending from 50 Hz to 5 kHz, the PCS175-4 is an excellent choice for bookshelf speakers, compact floorstanding designs, and other loudspeaker systems that require strong midbass performance.
