It also acts as a internal heatsink by pulling heat from the windings into the aluminum ring and the direct to coil venting cycles air across the coil wingings and aluminum shorting ring at the same time cooling them simultaneously.

This sub is a beast
I’ve been playing around with car audio since I was a teenager. I’ve owned all of kickers subs and liked them really well. This was my first pro audio sub, and it blew me away. If your looking for something that Changes the way you listen to bass, try these These dc subs are no joke, I’ll never buy any other brand after owning this sub. Don’t waste your money on anything mediocre, buy one and you’ll be hooked……
