The AW8000 and AW7000 Arsenal lineup of Subwoofers feature eight models ranging in class and size, from 10-15 inches, and feature two additional patent-pending technologies: the Multi-Mount Smart Trim Ring, and the Dual Diametric Progressive Spider with Woven Tinsel Lead. Arsenal AW6000 subwoofers are offered in 10” and 12” sizes, and feature an Aluminum cast basket, butyl rubber surround, and a metal sputtering Olefin woofer cone.

Arsenal subwoofers feature an aggressive and stylish appearance, complete with sleek design and a silver or piano-black finish. T3 Chassis (Thermal Transfer Technology) transfers heat away from the voice coil to the woofer’s aluminum basket by connecting the motor structure to the basket, using a layer of heat transfer silicon. Patent-pending Multi-Mount Smart Trim Ring creates a clean installation appearance by concealing the mounting screws. Aluminum material reduces resonation within the subwoofer structure, which creates strong and clear output with Die-Cast Vented Aluminum Basket. Multi-directionally woven dampers correct balance of speaker, even with terminals concentrated on one side. Eco-friendly Hemp Fiber reduces unwanted mid- and high-frequencies in subwoofers—like a natural low pass filter. Internal loss is reduced within the speaker diaphragm for pure fidelity sound.

Models CS-AW8240 and CS-AW8040 have a drive cone made of Paper + Hemp* and Kevlar laminated Hemp fiber Cone. Models CSAW7240, CS-AW7220, CS-AW7040 and CS-AW7020 have a drive cone made of Paper +Hemp * and Glass-Fiber laminated cone structure. In addition, efficient heat dissipation is enabled by die-cast aluminum heat sink. *About 10 percent Hemp blended.
