Output Coil with Magnetic Shield
Prevents magnetic flux from radiating from the subwoofer’s coil, resulting in reduced noise and enhanced sound quality.

High Quality Capacitors
PMLCAP’s (Polymer Multi-Layer Capacitors) are utilized in the LC filter circuits to decrease distortion, ensuring clear detail for a truer to life sound.

Gauge-style terminals lock wire
into position with set screw for secure installation.

One-side Connection
All terminals and connections are on one side for easier installation and a cleaner look.
