Design notes:
The 18XR is a truly groundbreaking subwoofer. REDCATT team has spent countless hours creating something outstanding. Where the conventional sub-woofers stop performing due to the design limitations, the XR series just starts and shines. With huge excursion, high Bl, newly designed suspension system, we are giving you a product that will not limit you to achieve even your wildest sub-woofer dreams. Motor DesignThe magnetic design incorporates large neodymium magnets placed along the voice coil winding. This has allowed us to push the cone excursion to 56mm peak to peak. Unique gap venting ensures good air circulation and greatly improves the reliability of this driver. We have also developed a new technique for manufacturing deep copper caps. The design further utilizes two, uncommonly large, spiders, spaced apart with spacer, hot-pressed tinsel wires onto the top spider, reinforced cone. The suspension is designed for large excursions. Large lightweight surround sports resonant control features that we fully FEM designed and optimized to provide the best possible performance under large excursions.
