Dayton Audio DS175-8 6-1/2" Woofer Speaker

Product description

Although it's true that the Dayton Audio Designer Series DS175-8 is a nice looking and well thought-out 6-1/2" woofer, its ability to handle full rated power down to 40 Hz* without exceeding Xmax is very impressive!

Highlights

Cosmetic frame with low profile lip, designed for front mounting—no countersinking required!

Coated paper cone, half roll rubber surround for durability and accurate reproduction

Optimized to yield a low 3 dB down point and high potential output in a reasonably sized cabinet

Smooth frequency response and linear roll-off simplify filter design, guaranteeing good results with off-the-shelf crossovers

Vented pole piece for minimized power compression and maximized reliability

Generous Xmax capability encourages use of moderate bass boost to tailor the response

Retains the same "family look" as the popular Dayton Audio DVC Series subwoofers and passive radiators
