The motor assembly consists of double stack 1" thick ferrite and a large mass CNC top plate, with a bumped T-yoke for extended excursion and rear pole venting leading to efficient cooling.

An efficient 2.5" Copper 4 layer coil on a black anodized aluminum former is aligned with Nomex spider suspension and woven heavy duty tinsel leads fed from oversized 8gauge push terminals.

The heavy duty but lightweight non-pressed paper cone stitched to a custom shaped foam surround is built for daily abuse.
A custom finished cast basket keeps it all together, with under spider venting for added cooling.
