stable woofer platform.

ibility, the black TPO surround rejects water, sun and salt-spray while at the same time offering superior

A Kapton voice coil former gives the speaker increased power 

handling while the textile damper has been specially treated to repel moisture and maintain uniform shape.

Voice Coil Protection:

 Red and black tinsel lead insulation not only easily identifies positive and negative 

inputs, but also prevents against corrosion thus increasing the life of the speaker.
