Dayton Audio PCS175-8 6-1/2" Poly Cone Woofer 8 Ohm
This woofer features a polypropylene cone that is specifically designed to reduce resonance and coloration, resulting in a smooth and natural frequency response from 50 Hz up to 5,300 Hz. The durable rubber surround further enhances performance by maintaining linear cone movement and resisting the long-term fatigue that can degrade audio quality over time. The combination of these materials ensures reliable operation, even under demanding conditions, which is especially important for speakers used in both home audio and professional environments.
The PCS175-8 is engineered with an aluminum former and a 4-layer voice coil, providing improved heat management and motor force for greater efficiency and power handling. With an Xmax of 2.25 mm and a voice coil diameter of 25 mm, this woofer is capable of delivering accurate, low-distortion bass, making it an excellent match for high-performance woofers in multi-way systems or as a dedicated low-frequency driver in compact enclosures.
Its low-profile stamped steel frame is optimized for surface-mounted installations, allowing for easy integration into a wide variety of speaker cabinet designs. The large diameter flat spider contributes to enhanced cone stability and linear motion, ensuring consistent audio performance. These features make the PCS175-8 a versatile option for DIY audio enthusiasts, installers, and designers looking for reliable components for their DIY speaker kit projects or custom upgrade solutions.
