Dayton Audio PCS175-8 Specification SheetBuying Options
Designed for versatile loudspeaker systems, the PCS175-8 combines durable materials with a stable mechanical design for reliable long-term performance. The polypropylene cone provides excellent internal damping while resisting environmental changes that can affect paper-based diaphragms. The grey cone and inverted dustcap add a distinctive appearance that works well in modern speaker designs. The PCS175-8 is a direct replacement woofer for the Dayton Audio T65 tower speaker, making it a perfect replacement driver for repairing or restoring T65 floorstanding speakers.
A rubber surround allows controlled excursion while helping maintain long-term durability. The suspension system includes a large diameter flat spider that stabilizes the moving assembly and keeps the voice coil properly aligned during operation. The ferrite motor assembly drives a four-layer voice coil wound on an aluminum former, improving thermal stability and allowing the driver to maintain consistent output during extended playback.
Mounted in a rigid stamped steel frame with a low-profile lip suitable for surface mounting, the PCS175-8 integrates easily into many enclosure designs. With sensitivity of 86.4 dB and a frequency response from 50 Hz to 5.3 kHz, this driver works well in two-way bookshelf speakers, compact towers, and other loudspeaker designs requiring smooth midbass performance.
