Much like the engine of a new automobile, a new subwoofer must go through a short but important process of “break-in” before it is run under harsh conditions.
The “break-in” process will ensure the subwoofer is able to perform as it has been designed to. This process involves subjecting the subwoofer to no more than low-to-medium volume levels for a number of hours in the enclosure.
3-4 hours is generally sufficient for the subwoofer’s suspension to loosen enough to prevent the voice coil(s) from overheating and causing failure. The break-in period is also effective in extending subwoofer life. Over-driving the woofer before it has been properly broken-in will usually result in premature failure and poor performance.
Dual Voice CoilA Dual Voice Coil subwoofer will not produce more bass than a single voice coil subwoofer. It is more about producing the right ohm load for maximum efficiency from the amplifier that you are running. Ohms are a measurement of electrical resistance. The less resistance, the more power that the amp will put out. More power from your amplifier means that you can run your subwoofer at its’ peak performance or be able to hook up more subwoofers to your amplifier. | Poly Injection ConeCommonly called just PP, this plastic has various forms. It is a resilient and durable manufactured material that can be used in thousands of applications across virtually all fields. It can be used for tubes, car trims, and bags. In the specific case of our cones, this material allows for maximum give that produces great sounding speakers lasting you a long time. | High Temperature Voice CoilOur speakers are capable of higher or elevated temperature strength and fatigue properties that will increase performance and efficiency of heavy duty play time through lower weight and higher operating temperatures. | Foam SurroundFoam lasts much longer than other materials and is a superior product for speaker drivers that need a large excursion (how much the cone needs to move back and forth). Foam keeps the cone centered and yields a high excursion. It is self-damping (the ability to control undesirable movement of the speaker cone) and reduces its own standing waves. It is also very light and has a minimal effect on the motion of the cone. |
