All Alphasonik 800 Series cast basket subwoofers feature our patent pending 

input and output terminals. Configure voice coils or drivers in series or parallel 

with no fuss and no cramped or frayed wires. Terminals are audiophile grade 

nickel-plated, machined brass – compression fit with Allen head setscrews

PROPRIETARY HEAT SINK

All Alphasonik 800 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.

BASKET WEAVE, KEVLAR® REINFORCED KRAFT PULP CONE

All Alphasonik 800 Series subwoofers use our environmentally treated Kevlar 

reinforced, Kraft pulp cone – the most neutral sounding material in the indus-

try. Virgin, long-fiber Kraft pulp is air cured and strengthened with Kevlar®. If 

you beat on our subs, they hit back.
