The 3XL range of subwoofers is innovative in that it is designed to work with the new generation Class "D" amplifiers. Class "D" amplifiers heat up the woofers voice coil two to three times hotter and faster than a conventional class A/B amplifier. This calls for Xtreme measures and special parts to classify these as a true "Class D Subwoofer."
But hey, this is PowerBass. We have it under control. First, we use industrial assembly glues that handle this excessive heat that would normally tear a conventional speaker apart. Then there is perimeter venting to allow air movement over the voice coil built into our custom CNC cut, cast aluminum basket. The basket works as a strong foundation for our new heavy duty non-pressed raw pulp cone and redesigned inverted X dustcap. The roughness of the cone breaks up standing long waves for an even louder output resulting in greater SPL.
The 3XL woofers all feature 3" HD BASV voice coil formers that are anodized black to help dissipate heat. To allow full movement of the cone, we utilize an ultra high roll (U-turn) treated foam surround that increases the cone area for higher output along with linear cone stability throughout the subwoofers 3" of peak to peak excursion.
To make sure high voltages from the amplifier reach the speaker, we designed Pro-Lock terminals and Xtra Large domed motor assembly with dual stacked magnets to handle the high power these speakers are designed for.
3XL woofers are available in 12" and 15" sizes. In either dual 1-OHM or dual 2-OHM versions to maximize your amplifiers power.
