Titanic MKIII Subwoofers!
The best just got better! We took our popular Titanic MKII Subwoofers and made them even better! Our main goal was to create subwoofers that produce deep clean bass, have high power handling capabilities and long term reliability. The new Titanic MKIII Subwoofers exceeded all of our expectations. These drivers will work well in both vented and sealed enclosures, and with their unique VCSTM cooling system, copper shorting ring, and 2-1/2" diameter voice coils, they can handle even more power to produce higher output levels with less distortion! We've used the finest materials available to ensure that each driver is built to the highest quality standards for long-term trouble-free performance even under extreme sound pressure levels!

A. Rigid Cast Frame
The cast aluminum basket features aerodynamic supports that provide maximum rigidity for the motor structure without impeding air movement from the rear of the cone or causing unwanted reflections. The mounting flange features a thick rubber gasket that not only provides an air tight seal but also looks cool!

B. Ultra Stiff Composite Fiber Cone
The cone is manufactured using the finest grade pulp reinforced with Kevlar fibers and sealed with a polymerized coating. The result is a very stiff cone that remains stable even under the stress of very high sound pressure levels.

C. Butyl Rubber Surround
A large roll surround is used so the suspension has the travel to handle the long excursions that this driver is capable of producing. The surround is made of durable Butyl rubber for long-term stability and reliability. The thickness of the surround was precisely calculated to eliminate the possibility of "suck back" in small enclosures, while still providing good linearity.

D. Ventus Cooling System (VCS)
This unique cooling system utilizes a vented spider and pole piece. As the cone moves in and out, air is drawn across the voice coil and through the motor structure greatly improving its thermal capacity thus reducing distortion and power compression. The harder you push the driver, the greater the cooling effect!

E. Copper Shorting Ring
A copper ring has been added to the pole piece to counter the effects of back EMF (electromotive force), resulting in reduced second harmonic distortion. By locating the shorting ring at the top of the pole piece, we also get the added benefit of reducing the effective voice coil inductance.

F. Optimized Motor System
The motor system features double stacked magnets and an extended pole piece. It was optimized using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to ensure a strong symmetric magnetic field in the air gap. The double-stacked magnets ensure there is plenty of clearance to prevent the long-excursion voice coil from bottoming. The motor system also features a long 2-1/2" voice coil, which is wound on a Kapton former for improved heat dissipation and higher power handling.

G. Flat Progressive Nomex Spider
This proprietary spider is made from high tech Nomex blended material for long term stability. It provides a uniform restoring force throughout its normal range of travel. As the driver nears its maximum excursion the spider gets "progressively" stiffer. This prevents the voice coil from accelerating out of the magnetic gap during high output peaks reducing distortion and possible voice coil bottoming. This unique spider also has the heavy gauge voice coil leads stitched or "snaked" through the spider. This eliminates "lead slapping" during extreme excursion.

Moves a lot of air
Sunday, June 6, 2010
Heabel from Unknown Location

Well after listening to others box home theatre subs with 6in and 8in woofers I was expecting alot from this one. I have built two enclosures for it. 6cuft ported and 3.5cuft sealed stuffed with 500watt amp. Tried both to see the sound difference. This thing is Noisy. I mean Really Noisy (sealed was a bit better). You have to run it at such low input to even try to match your system. Which limits the air movement hence limiting the punch (ouch). If you dont mind the noise this thing can shake your home (just about the most air movement for the money). Very Dissapointed overall. Maybe with a pq it will come alive. It upsets me that when folks come over they say wow thats a serious sub and then I turn it on and they say thats it i was expecting more. My thoughts exactly

Exceptional Woofer
Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Jermdog from Norhtern KY

I have two of these in about 5.5 cubic feet each. The enclosures are ported and tuned to 19Hz. Each enclosure is 1.5 inches thick and is internally braced.

I cannot say how please I am with the response from the woofers. I have 500 watts RMS (each) from a very large Adcom amplifier driving these.

You need a very serious amount of power to drive large woofers at lower frequencies. I would suggest nothing less than 500 watts.

I would also suggest making sure your room acoustics are managed well. These woofers (as all do) have a tendency to really bring out the room modes. Any good receiver with active room correction should suffice.

Another great product from Dayton Audio. Thank you for making high quality merchandise at affordable prices.

Sub-Sub Application
Friday, December 11, 2009
Kelly from SW VA

I made a sub-sub with 4 x 15" Titanics as the motor exciting a quarter wave 14 foot tube. With the Dayton 1 kW amp it is insane how much music is down there. Speech is not comprehensible and things move around. Glass moves 2" fore and aft, remarkable it does not shatter. This is flat to 5 Hz and and registers 5.2 Richter (off the acoustic meter). Can be dangerous. Nothing touches it.
