• Woven fiberglass cone lowers resonances for smooth response and natural sound
• Rubber surround helps damp the outside edge of the cone improving high frequency response
• 4-layer voice coil on an aluminum former provides excellent heat dissipation
• Vented pole piece releases air trapped under the dustcap for quiet operation
• Low-profile frame minimizes diffraction making these drivers suitable for surface mount applications

With flat response to 4,000 Hz and excellent low frequency extension, the GF180-8 6-1/2” glass fiber cone woofer from Dayton Audio is ideal for use in low cost 2-ways speaker designs. The naturally damped woven fiberglass cone is driven by a 4-layer voice coil wound on an aluminum former. This driver is a great choice for your next bookshelf speaker, multiple driver tower, or even portable sound systems.
