Abstract

A subwoofer cabinet having a volume less than 1 ft.sup.3 ; axially aligned openings in opposed cabinet walls; first and second cages mounted on respective ones of the walls in alignment with the openings; a voice coil driven driver including an annular 225 oz. magnet affixed to the first cage; a stationary pole piece extending through the magnet and defining a magnetic gap therebetween; a voice coil mounted on a cylindrical voice coil former positioned within the gap; a cone affixed to one end of the former; a first flexible surround secured to the outer end of the cone and attached at its periphery to the first cage; a flexible spider secured to the former and at its outer periphery to the first cage; a drive amplifier capable of delivering 2,700 watts to a nominal 4 ohm resistive load and swinging 104 volts for delivering (+).DELTA.v and (-).DELTA.v drive signals to the voice coil for driving the voice coil driven driver through a peak-to-peak stroke of about 2.5' while generating a large back emf sufficient to counter the applied emf and minimize current flow in the voice coil.
