PROPRIETARY HEAT SINK

All Alphasonik 400 Series subwoofers have motor structures encased in pat-

ent pending, cast aluminum, machine finished heat sinks. Power handling is 

enhanced because excess heat is quickly absorbed and transferred to the 

environment. The music may get hot but our subs run cool.

MINERAL FILLED POLYMER INVERTED DOME

All Alphasonik 400 Series Subwoofers use the latest technology with mineral 

filled polymers for musical neutrality. The inverted dome geometry can handle 

tremendous stress without deformation.

EPDM SURROUND

All Alphasonik 400 Series Subwoofers employ EPDM surrounds. This high-

tech synthetic rubber exhibits both high tensile strength and compliance over 

a wide range of temperatures.
