Sound Storm Laboratories SS12 SS Series 12 Inch Car Audio Subwoofer - 800 Watts Max, Single 4 Ohm Voice Coil, Sold Individually, For Truck Boxes and Enclosures, Hook Up To Amplifier SS10 Break Your Subwoofer In Much like the engine of a new automobile, a new subwoofer must go through a short but important process of 'break-in' before it is run under harsh conditions. The 'break-in' process will ensure the subwoofer is able to perform as it has been designed to. This process involves subjecting the subwoofer to no more than low-to-medium volume levels for a number of hours in the enclosure. 3-4 hours is generally sufficient for the subwoofer’s suspension to loosen enough to prevent the voice coil(s) from overheating and causing failure. The break-in period is also effective in extending subwoofer life. Over-driving the woofer before it has been properly broken-in will usually result in premature failure and poor performance. 10 inch 600 Watt Single Voice Coil Subwoofer Power Handling (Peak): 600 Watts Impedance: Single 4 Ohms Resonant Frequency: 32.3 Hz Sensitivity (1 Watt/1 Meter): 88 dB Cone: Black Poly Injection Basket: Stamped Surround: Foam Dimensions: L 10.3” x W 10.3” x H 4.5” Mounting Depth: 4.2” Cone: Black Poly Injection A substance called 'Polyurethane' and is categorized as a 'Polymer'. It is a resilient and durable manufactured material that can take the place of paint, cotton, rubber, metal or wood in thousands of applications across virtually all fields. It can be hard like fiberglass, squishy like upholstery foam, protective like varnish, bouncy like rubber or sticky like glue. In the specific case of our cones, this material allows for maximum give that produces great sounding speakers lasting you a long time. Basket: Stamped Here are a couple of advantages of die-casting over stamping speaker frames. One of the more noticeable differences is the fact that a die-cast frame has better Resonant Frequencies. This means that the frame is able to absorb and transfer much of the energy produced by the speaker. It doesn’t vibrate like a bell would when it is stricken. Another advantage is that a die-cast frame is more durable and harder to damage or break. Other advantages are high dimensional stability for complex shapes, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical property, high thermal and electrical conductivity and retains strength at high temperatures. Surround: Foam Unlike rubber, foam is an alternative for the surround in speakers and subwoofers. Foam is in general more flexible than rubber, giving the woofer a slightly higher efficiency. This also translates to better excursion. (How far the cone of a speaker linearly travels from its resting position). It generally lasts anywhere from 8 to 15 years under the right conditions of usage.
