These two 10 inch cones are light and ultra stiff, and can resist bending and flexing far longer than conventional cones, delivering controlled bass with outstanding precision.Balanced Drivers: The DB2D subwoofer uses two bass cones arranged in an opposed, balanced configuration that greatly reduces cabinet vibration and insures a cleaner, more precise sound. The result: fantastic, colouration-free bass.Digital: Thanks to an all-new digital preamplifier, the BD2D subwoofers awesome power is always delivered at optimum levels.
