4. Rubber Surround –
The durable rubber surround withstands the
extremes of the automotive environment. It also improves sound quality
by reducing 2nd and 3rd order harmonics and provides wider frequency
response.
5. 3-Layer Glass Fiber Composite Cone –
The ideal cone material would
be infinitely strong, very light and would have very high damping to
ensure great sound quality. The Fanatic Q Series Component Systems
use a 3 layer glass fiber composite cone that is strong, light and has high
internal damping to provide excellent reproduction of sound.
6. Flat Spider –
The spider has the job of centering the voice coil and
providing the rear suspension for the speaker. The Fanatic Q Component
Systems use a durable flat spider to ensure great sound with long life and
durability.
7. Large 1-1/4" Voice Coil with Anodized Aluminum Former
– Just like
all Rockford Fosgate woofers, all Fanatic Component System midrange
drivers use an aluminum voice coil former for more efficient dissipation
of heat. Dissipating the heat is key to long life and high power handling,
so go ahead and crank it up! The voice coil in the Fanatic Q series
component system is larger than the voice coil in some manufacturer's
woofers.
8. Proprietary Cast ABS Basket
– This basket has unique cosmetics and
provides a solid platform for the midrange, reducing coloration of the
sound.
9. Vented Pole Piece
– The pole piece extends from the back of the speaker
into the voice coil area. The Fanatic Q Component System uses a vented
pole piece to allow cool air to circulate in the voice coil gap which allows
greater power handling and increased reliability.
10. Aerovent Backplate
– The curved shape of the backplate opening
reduces “huffing” noises caused during high excursions. The air moving
in and out of the pole piece is handled much more quietly and efficiently
than in conventional systems.
