QUALITY, RLIABILITY, & PURE BLISS

Audiobahn’s classic six-leg 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,
three durable stabilizers provide added durability employing bolt-tight construction linking them to the six
legs and the specially slotted T-YOKE allows for more efficient heat dissipation. But what’s most eye-
catching about the six-leg family of subwoofers is its exclusive Crown, which hovers over the woofer’s
cone, providing protection in cramped installation environments and allowing ample space for cone
excursion. This new feature adds an edgy appeal that fits 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 making 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.

A port velocity of 20% or under is good for everday use and 5% or under for SPL competition . Port velocity
translates to port noise, so the lower the number, the less port noise
y
ou will incur.
