Power Series - Blending Resplendent Finesse And Brute Force
If you're anything like us then most of the time you remain the consummate distinguished lady or gentleman, desiring the very best subsonic performance from your subwoofer. However there's also a slightly more adventurous side; a mischievous little streak within that sends a rush of blood to the head from time to time, resulting in that volume knob being cranked wildly. We get it, we know that feeling too; and we also know it's going to take one special subwoofer to blend such accuracy with copious amounts of volume. Welcome to our Power range. Developed from highly successful existing platforms, these subwoofers not only provide delightful quality and control but can kick like a disgruntled stallion when required.

Design Ideologies
When it comes to designing the latest electrical and mechanical components, whether it be as complex as an aircraft or a simple as a toaster; more often than not engineers don’t start with a blank canvass only to commence reinventing the wheel. They instead draw upon past technologies and methodologies that have proven successful hitherto, whilst adhering to lessons learnt during previous design processes too. The same fundamental fact rings true when talking about subsonic transducers.

The Reasoning Behind The Power
The concept of the Power series was conceived as Audible Kinetics engineers repeatedly observed how challenging it is to find subwoofers that perform admirably yet don’t cost an absolute fortune. Said one engineer; “we struggled to find a subwoofer that remained controlled like we wanted, kicked like everyone else wanted, all whilst hovering within the sub-four-figure dollar region.” Henceforth they trotted back to the lab, setting their focus squarely on rectifying this conundrum posthaste.

Not Reinventing The Wheel
As aforesaid, the Audible Kinetics team didn’t start with a blank page. They took the original Dayton Ultimax design, a design that’s proven to be a stellar performer and much loved within home theatre circles. The team then tweaked the suspension system and electromechanical specifications a little, perfecting it for use in cars by taking into account physics related aspects such as cabin gain and transfer function.

Purpose Built To Move Air
The Audible Kinetics’ Power series subwoofers are purpose-built to provide maximum kinetics whilst agitating air molecules in an articulate and most accurate fashion. These drivers utilise dual two Ohm voice coils allow for flexibility in wiring configurations when connecting to modern high current car audio audio amplifiers.

Improved Motor Physics
To improve power handling, increase thermal efficiency and minimise power compression; the Power series units employ enormous black anodized voice coil formers, vented pole pieces, under-spider ventilation systems and two-layer copper voice coils. The high Xmax of the motor is kept completely linear thanks to dual spiders, these also serving to limit distortion and rocking modes. A large copper sleeve and copper pole cap in the motor reduce energy storage from inductance, with the additional benefit of lowering distortion for a faster and more dynamic response. Large dual-stacked, high-energy magnets provide a strong Tesla figure, bringing the Qts down to a level where the Power series subwoofers can be used in vented or sealed enclosures that aren’t the size of Texas.

Superior Diaphragm Design
Encircling the edge of the diaphragm and forming the top portion of the suspension is an extended range of motion (EROM) nitrile butyl rubber surround with integrated gasket. This works to maintain kinetic harmony during extreme excursion moments. The diaphragm itself is a single-piece Nomex honeycomb design layered with interwoven, heavy-duty glass fibers. These combine to create a lightweight yet extremely strong cones with a superb Young’s modulus figure; easily able to move at lighting speeds whilst resisting physical deformation.

Design Features
The rich heritage of this astute and masterful designer, together with its ever-increasing technical acumen; is conducive to these components featuring a vast array of impressive design ideologies and latest technological advancements. Some of these include:
– Twin double-layer copper voice coils. These coils offer unparalleled audio clarity and resonance, resulting in superior sound quality.
– Large vented pole piece and under-spider venting for superior thermal efficiency.
– High continuous power handling ability. This uncompromising power output enables you to accentuate even the lowest-frequency sound waves, ensuring you hear every subtle nuance in your music.
– Black anodised aluminium former and black pole improves heat dissipation.
– Thick one-piece Nomex honeycomb covered diaphragm with woven heavy-duty glass fibres embedded for excessive strength and light weight.
– Extended range of motion (EROM) nitrile butyl rubber surround for extra-long linear excursion without reducing cone surface area.
– Dual linear stiffness spiders limit distortion and rocking modes.
– Specially crafted Qts for smaller rather than larger enclosures, yet it doesn’t compromise on sound output.
– High grade ferrite magnet structure.
– Expertly designed motor topology.
– Stylish framework thanks to its eight spoke magnetically inert aluminium basket.
– Long throw Xmax for ultra-low frequency extensions.
