    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?

            Nautilus HTM2D? Yep.
            by Race Car Driver
            I sold my NHTM1 about a year ago. Over the past year I have missed it more and more.

            Ive been keeping an eye out for possibly another. Well in my search I came across an HTM2D that had previously had the diamond tweeter broken. This wasnt an issue to me as I have N802s. I dont care for...

            Came across a B&W service manual
            by Race Car Driver
            I came across a mint service manual for B&W speakers. IMO well worth what I paid.

            It covers the older lines, early 90s, but its still pretty cool IMO.

            by Race Car Driver
            Well the problems aren't with the speakers per say....

            I have a set of red cherry N803s and HTM1 sitting here.... and I REALLY Like that color Especially in my room.

            However I already have light cherry N802s, light cherry htm1, and am picking up a light cherry asw 855......
