Schematic cross-section: 15″ driver with neodymium motor Side section: on the left the motor with a compact neodymium magnet, pole piece and top plate with the air gap. The voice coil sits in the gap on its former, held by the spider. To the right the cone opens out with its dust cap, with the surround at the edge of the basket. The drawing shows the construction, not the dimensions of a particular model.

What can this driver do?

Link to section “What can this driver do?”

Simulation from the datasheet values above. The suggestions are calculated, not stated by the manufacturer.

Bass reflex Calculated

The EBP is above 100 – by the rule of thumb, this points to a vented enclosure (bass reflex). This is based on an EBP of 125.

  • at 1,000 W
  • Maximum SPL (limited by Xmax)
  • Power into 8 Ω (nominal impedance of the wiring).
  • Flattest alignment: lowest F3 without the response rising more than 0.25 dB above the passband level or dropping more than 0.5 dB at 2 × F3.
  • The 17 m/s limit (about 5 % of the speed of sound) is a common rule of thumb against port noise, not a standard. Rounded port ends allow higher values.
  • Lumped-element Thiele/Small model, Half space, 1 m, chamber losses QL 7, Le as a plain inductance, no room influence. At high levels (heating, non-linear Bl and Cms) real results are lower.
