JL Audio C7-650cw 6.5-inch (165 Mm) Component Woofer

DESIGN NOTES

Cone and Dust Cap:

Vacuum-formed, mineral-filled polypropylene material offers excellent damping and low mass. The cone body features a gentle curvilinear profile to optimize response. A specially shaped dust cap attaches to the cone body and the voice coil former to improve high frequency behavior.

Suspension design:

The moving assembly is suspended and damped via a large-diameter, linear profile spider formed from a Nomex®/polycotton blend, and a positive-roll, rubber surround. The two combine to provide optimum damping without prematurely restricting the C7-650cw’s outstanding excursion capability.

Motor Design:

The C7-650cw employs a high-density magnetic circuit with a high-grade Y35 Strontiumferrite magnet, and a specially machined, T-Yoke motor topology. Motor magnetics have been precisely optimized utilizing advanced FEA tools to reduce distortion and provide linear motor force throughout the driver’s performance range.

A 32 mm (1.27 inch) diameter, overhung voice coil is employed, wound with copper wire onto a fiberglass voice coil former. The oversized voice coil offers extended power handling capability, minimizing thermal compression and distortion at higher listening levels.

Chassis Design:

A purpose-engineered cast alloy basket is employed, featuring thin spokes to maximize rear open area, and our Patented Elevated Frame Cooling technology.

Design Bandwidth:

With 48 dB/octave filters: 50 Hz - 5 kHz With 24 dB/octave filters: 60 Hz - 5 kHz With 12 dB/octave filters: 70 Hz - 5 kHz
