The Low Rider driver series
represents a milestone in high-
powered sub-woofer design. An
incredible 1,600 Watt program
rating and extra-long cone
excursion provide maximum
amounts of amazingly clean, deep
bass.
The Low Rider is a superior choice
for the bottom end of any high-
powered sound system, from DJ
rigs to the largest professional
touring shows.
DESIGN
The Low Rider utilizes a
variation on the existing Kevlar
®
-
impregnated cones used on all
Black Widow
®
speakers. The cone
is stronger and tougher and uses
an innovative asymmetrical -M
surround for superior excursion
and motion control.
High quality spring terminals
accepting large gauge wire are
attached to large diameter high-
current tinsel leads with silver
solder to withstand high currents,
high temperatures and long
excursion.
The massive new voice coil uses
polyimide-insulated copper ribbon
wire, edge-wound and bonded
onto an incredibly durable and
heat-resistant polyimide composite
former. The coil’s winding length of
1.150” is an amazing 80% longer
than Peavey’s standard Black
Widow coil. The long coil has a
large surface area to dissipate
heat, and its increased length
drives the cone to a far higher
excursion. The coil is over coated
with a tough thermoset epoxy
for added durability, abrasion
resistance and heat dissipation.
The coil wires are solderless
diffusion welded to high-
conductivity OFHC copper ribbon
leads, which are embedded
inside the former assembly and
soldered to the tinsel leads with
high temperature silver solder.
The solder joint is then coated with
a special, thermally conductive
silicone adhesive for encapsulation
and heat dissipation.
