These professional loudspeakers were engineered to provide high power handling, high efficiency and deep, heart pounding bass. Using a powerful simulation program, we analyzed the top pro sound brands on the market today to determine the best parameter combinations for our drivers. Optimized for vented and horn loaded enclosures, these drivers are capable of producing low frequencies at extremely high output levels and are well suited for both replacement and new system designs. Built to last, they feature a rugged aluminum die-cast frame, high power 4", two layer 27 ga. round copper wire voice coil on Kapton® former, natural sounding paper cone, treated cloth surround, bumped backplate, vented pole piece, gold plated binding posts and rubber magnet cover. Use them in your next pro sound application, we think you'll agree that these drivers provide superior performance at half the price of the top name brands. Made in the USA.

owned it when it first came out for $149.00.

Dennis C from EAST Orange, NEW JERSEY  

I love this driver so much that i bought four of them .. I currently use one of them to power the super bass in my theater system with my projector (in my basement). I have a peavey 1500 amplifier and this driver delivers what they say it does and doesn't miss a beat doing it. The transformers movie sounds and feels better than the THX certified theater I watched it in. The sound and bass and earthshaking and rivals any store bought sub (that could cost thousands). A hidden gem in deed.

Play 2 17Hz loud & have gr8 mids from rear
Monday, December 29, 2008
Parts Express Customer from Unknown Location  

I use this & other 18" PA style drivers in a unique design & these give smooth, loud & clear response from about 17Hz-9KHz (that's seventeen to 9 thousand). Of course, nobody else uses them this way. That's fine by me - makes 4 an interesting product! =)

BTW, U 'Dayton' guys should offer an underhung 18" in aluminum (metal is better if just want lows, but the mids/highs suk). I have some custom designs if U wanna sell 'em - 'cuz I would like 2 buy 'em W/out having 2 do a huge run :) E-Mail me @ terabyte_pete@hotmail.com
