Although it's true that the Dayton Audio Designer Series DS175-8 is a nice looking and well thought-out 6-1/2" woofer, its ability to handle full rated power down to 39 Hz without exceeding Xmax is very impressive!
Product Highlights
• Generous Xmax capability encourages use of moderate bass boost to tailor the response
• Retains the same "family look" as the popular Dayton Audio DVC Series subwoofers and passive radiators
• Vented pole piece for minimized power compression and maximized reliability
• Smooth frequency response and linear roll-off simplify filter design, guaranteeing good results with off-the-shelf crossovers
• Optimized to yield a low 3 dB down point and high potential output in a reasonably sized cabinet
• Coated paper cone, half roll rubber surround for durability and accurate reproduction
• Cosmetic frame with low profile lip, designed for front mounting—no countersinking required!
