Cast Basket
Audiobahn’s classic ame cast basket model has evolved into a fresh and innovative
design for today’s cutting-edge installation projects. Wholly manufactured with heavyweight
high-pressure cast aluminum. This new feature adds an edgy appeal that ts the image
Audiobahn has maintained since its inception in 1997. The Crown, as well as the entire
basket, features Audiobahn’s multi-textured surfacing of chrome and satin aluminum mak-
ing for a striking blend of smooth and rough. In addition, the venting plate is highlighted
with the recognizable Audiobahn anodized blue tone to add an alluring combination in
chrome and color.
Carbon Composite Cone
The High Excursion series of Subwoofers features a new high gloss cone manufactured
from high-strength carbon composite, giving the component a radiant overall look. This new
carbon composite cone is stronger, more rigid and will help keep the sub moving in a more
linear path. This will improve sound quality, accuracy and produce less distortion. Factor
this all in and you have powerful subwoofer capable of higher output without cone failure.
