LF Drivers - 18.0 Inches: Specifications Design Parameters

This document summarizes the specifications and test parameters for the 18SW115 subwoofer driver, including: 1. It is tested with a 2 hour pink noise signal between the rated frequency range. Power is calculated at the minimum impedance with the driver in free air. 2. Continuous program power is defined as 3dB greater than the nominal rating. 3. For an 8 ohm impedance, the applied RMS voltage is set to 2.83V.
