Polk Audio Introduces Incredible Sound/Affordable Price db Series Mobile Subwoofers

New Series Includes Single and Dual Voice Coil Models

Baltimore, MD-May 13, 2004—Today speaker manufacturer Polk Audio today announced the addition of 6 subwoofer models to their popular line of automotive aftermarket speakers—the db Series. The db Series is positioned as the “better” line under the “best” Polk/MOMO Series.

There are six models in the db subwoofer line: 8", 10" and 12" diameters available in both Single Voice Coil and Dual Voice Coil configurations. All models feature a concave "dish" Polypropylene cone supported by a vented cone/coil coupler that serves to stiffen the cone for greater mechanical stability and lower distortion. The Santoprene surround is impervious to extremes in temperature, humidity and exposure to sunlight for excellent long term reliability. Fire-retardant flat NOMEX® Spider allows extended linear motion while providing highly reliable mechanical and thermal stability. Triple venting of the 4-layer Kapton Voice Coil Former, Cone/Coil Coupler and Pole Piece contribute to the high power handling and reliability of the db Series subs.

As with all Polk Audio subwoofers, the voice coil alignment, motor and suspension were optimized using a state-of-the-art Klippel laser analyzer. The result is superior cone travel linearity for flatter response and lower distortion.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices for the new subwoofers are:
