Features
ES Subwoofer Enclosures
Injection Molded Polymineral Cone with ISD ™ (Inverted Structural
Dome) is a high performance composite, which remains rigid,
minimizes cone flex and lowers harmonic distortion. The ES subwoofer
cone moves as a light weight piston, exhibiting power and control.
Double Stitched Surround adds a mechanical fastener to the
chemical adhesives. This duo prevents the cone and surround from
separating in the harshest conditions.
Optimized Polyfoam Ribbed Surround Radius allows extended
cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL, and couples
the suspension into a conjoined linear-motion body.
High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former improves sonic and
conductive properties, and prevents thermal-electrical meltdown.
Ultra-Length Voice Coil sustains enormous cone excursion and
provides extra heat dissipation.
High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires eliminate broken leads and power
loss, due to the common use of “insufficient-gauge” lead wires.
Human Fine-Tuned Enclosures and computer-modeling allow
Kicker’s award winning ES subwoofers to offer bass performance that
surpasses most custom made boxes.
Two-Piece Vented Hyper-Extended Blackened Pole Piece and
Backplate
1. Optimizes heat transfer efficiency for cooler operation
and maximum power handling ability.
2. Eliminates erratic magnetic flux from the voice-coil gap.
3. Releases pressure under the suspension for uniform
cone movement and responsive low bass.
4. Prevents the voice-coil from bottoming out and
corresponding damage.
New Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly utilizes a high
strength steel basket, features a low-profile open design, and provides
a solid foundation for the precision-aligned motor assembly.
Perimeter Venting in the BAM relieves pressure from under the
spider, supports a linear excursion, and helps dissipate heat from the
voice coil and motor structure.
