Dayton Audio DC300-8 12" Classic Woofer
Dayton Audio Classic Series woofers are excellent for use as replacement
speakers or for new loudspeaker system design and construction. The DC300-8 12"
woofer has developed quite a reputation for having the best bang-for-the-buck
performance and value available anywhere. Smooth frequency response and extended
bass performance make this driver ideal for use in large format two-way and
classic three-way loudspeaker designs. A Qts of 0.33 allows the DC300-8 produce
incredible low frequency extension in vented enclosures or tight response with a
powerful kick in sealed enclosures.
A non-pressed treated paper cone allows for smooth frequency response,
while the high temperature aluminum voice coil and vented pole piece combine to
increase power handling without compression. Longevity is ensured with the use
of a rubber surround, treated cloth dust cap, and an extended bump plate.
