Power System Subwoofers
Clarion’s Power System Subwoofers are designed to handle large amounts of power for
groundpounding bass. It’s just what the doctor ordered for 5.1 channel surround low frequency
sound reproduction.
Power System subwoofers have strong stamped steel frames for added stiffness of the driver,
and to prevent frame warping when mounting the speaker in it’s enclosure. The
polypropylene cones are plated with titanium for low mass and ultra strong cone structure
to eliminate cone flexing and lower cone distortion. The cone is supported by a special rubber
surround that resists reduced compliance at lower temperatures. This prevents degraded
speaker performance in cold climates.
Kapton voice coils are used for added heat resistance and rigidity of the voice coil structure,
and the motor assembly uses a large strontium magnet with a bumped and vented pole
piece for improved efficiency and performance. Vented pole piece assemblies allow the
subwoofers to handle more power by increasing the cooling air movement through the
voice coil.
And of course, the Power Systems subwoofers reflect the family cosmetics of the entire
Power System series of components.
