Subwoofers
Running changes during the last year for all models;
New EROM surrounds with more excursion.
Composite cones feature new Kevlar fiber pre-dyed and combined with aluminum on colored cones, black dyed Kevlar/ Carbon Fiber on Carbon cones and natural Kevlar in yellow; all available as options. Matching dust caps or carbon dust caps available as options.
- 500 Series; Free Flow Cooling Vents are machined into the motor along with thicker top plate. Stronger suspension and stronger surround.
- 1500 Series; Running changes during last year: stronger motor and longer voice coil. Adds a T model, a more shallow motor to fit shallow boxes.
- 2500 Series; Running change during last year; new spider for easier excursion, 6 layers. D4 and flat copper wire D2 available
- 3500 Series; New composite cone materials
- 9500 Series; New composite cone materials, flat aluminum coils in D1.5 and D1.0 available
- Z 91 Series; New 6 magnet motor, flat wound aluminum 110mm long coil for 70mm X-max. Maximum sound quality design.
- Z 95 Series; New 6 magnet motor. Almost as strong as the Z with lower material costs. Open Z motor expands free flow cooling to new levels of long term power handling.
- Z Series; Running change from last year; 2 pc top plate assembly, deeper motor for longer coil travel.
- 95/35 has standard D4 or D2 coils. All impedances below D2 are extra cost options.
Components
- DDA; 5.25 woofer added. 3? mid coming soon, 8? kick bass coming soon.
- DDC; revised x-over for higher power handling.
- DDCx; Jagger bomb attachment for in-car entertainment.
Amplifiers
Amplifier redesign started last year with the S2 and SS models released 3rd quarter last year. Your feedback in many areas resulted in the new design changes. Many amps are being installed in tight, confined areas rather than being center mounted in a visual system display. The new heat sink maximizes surface area with minimal size. The heat sink is 20% heavier by weight with the extra mass concentrated down the power rails.
All amps are upgrading to LV style transformers/power supplies. The LV design supplies more power from 9-12 volts, helping the amps make more power in normal system conditions.
All amps are receiving MOSFET and power transistor upgrades in voltage/current ratings.
Although the Model Names stay the same, the 09 amps are different designs, different power and features. The 2009 amp changes are;
A and C Series are combined in to a new C-?b? Series line. These are 100%, all new designs geared for the new enthusiast. The amps are designed to withstand higher temperatures and are easier to use for new customers. The C2b and C3b are designed for 1 ohm stereo use, both have optional remote gains.
- C1b: 70x2@4 Ohm Stereo, 100x2@ 2 Ohm Stereo, 200x1 @ 4 Ohm mono, HP/FULL/LP xover 30Hz-1.2kHz
- C2b: 120x2@4 Ohm Stereo, 180x2@ 2 Ohm Stereo, 230x2@ 1 Ohm Stereo, 460x1@ 2 Ohm Mono, HP/FULL/LP x-over 30Hz-1.2kHz, optional remote gain
- C3b: 200x2@ 4 Ohm Stereo, 300x2@ 2 Ohm Stereo, 400x2@ 1 Ohm Stereo, 800x1@ 2 Ohm Mono, HP/FULL/LP x-over 30Hz-1.2kHz, optional remote gain
- C4b: 60x4@ 4 Ohm, 90x4@ 2 Ohm, 180x2@ 4 Ohm, HP/FULL/LP x-over 30Hz-1.2kHz
M Series amps have new circuit designs, new heat sinks, Solid chassis mounted RCA connectors, Slave Remote Gain Control, New Heat Sink. 6dB Variable Bass Boost
