CLARION PFW1051: NO SPACE, NO PROBLEM

摘要

GIVEN THAT THERE'S HARDLY ANY SPACE to mount a large, deep sub in a lot of today's cars, car audio enthusiasts need a solution such as Clarion's PFW1051. But the question is, how does it sound? The sub's packaging is only 4.25" deep. Within I found an attractive subwoofer diaphragm that is actually, in Clarion speak, a "polypropylene electrolytic spun aluminum coated dust cap" designed with an embossed 5-point star. This hides the Kevlar/paper composite cone below, attached at the outer edge by a 1"-wide co-polymer composite surround, Its infrastructure is a handsome, 16-rib, cast-aluminum frame with a nice fly-cut finish on the rib surface. The woofer employs a single 4-ohm voice coil, dual strontium ferrite magnet motor assembly, and a linear poly-cotton spider with integrated tinsel leads. The latter are concluded with nicely integrated gold-plated terminal blocks using a recessed set screw to retain up to an 8-gauge speaker wire.
