    Inside the ASW855

    Had to remove the sub today to get a grommet for the grill out. Figured I would share some pics. The whole enclosure assembled weighs 99 lbs, the sub alone weighs 32 lbs.
    Notice the edges from the sub opening how they are routed out. Also notice how thick the cone of the woofer is. Its not just a carbon cone, its atleast 1/4" thick sandwich. You see the holes down to the middle of the cone (VC cooling?)
    The leads for the woofer are stiched into the spider (didnt take any pics of that)

    One thing I noticed the spider on the direct opposite of the terminals/tinsil leads it looks like there is/could be another pair of leads stictched into the spider. Also notice the back of the enclosure next to the leads coming from the amp (12 gauge) there is a second hole that is sealed with some sort of putty. Wonder why/what options there could be there for that...

    Overall very impressed. :T

        Don't think I'd have the guts to do that to my ASW-850!

          Thanks for posting. That woofer looks very robust and well designed. Anyone notice the magnet is quite small in comparison to the 15" size woofer? I wonder what the excursion is on the woofer?
