Description

The DC Audio RS 15" Subwoofer is a purpose-built high-output bass driver for demanding car-audio builds, featuring a forced cooling design with radial venting, dual 220mm Y35 magnets, and an 8-layer flat-wire voice coil for robust, controlled bass.

  • Extremely rigid non-pressed paper cone assembly: Provides precise motion with reduced distortion under high excursion, improving bass clarity at loud listening levels.
  • Multilayered polymer foam surround: Maintains linear cone travel and durability through deep excursions, contributing to reliable long-term performance.
  • Polypropylene dust cover with DC logo: Protects the voice coil assembly while preserving sonic integrity.
  • Triple Stiff 8"OD semi cup progressive roll spiders: Supports stable, even suspension of the moving assembly for consistent bass response.
  • Dual extra heavy-duty interweaved tinsel lead wire: Handles rigorous movement and high current without fatigue, supporting high power handling.
  • Cast aluminum black frame / no invert mount: Rigid, thermally stable chassis designed for straightforward mounting.
  • FEA analyzed and optimized motor assembly – Fully CNC machined: Optimized motor structure for predictable performance and tight tolerances.
  • Rubber mounting gasket: Improves sealing and reduces unwanted vibration transfer to the vehicle structure.
  • Chrome spring-loaded push terminals: Secure, high-current connections suited for on-vehicle installs.
  • Dual 1.0 or 2.0 ohm 3" Hi-temp Voice Coil: Flexible impedance options with coils rated for high-temperature operation, supporting different amplifier loads.
  • Dual 220mm Y35 Slugs: Strong magnetic framework delivering high force for deep bass and controlled cone control.
  • Sealed Box (RS-Subwoofer 15"): 2.0 ft³ recommended for sealed enclosures, offering tight, accurate bass response.
  • Ported Box (RS-Subwoofer 15"): 3.0 ft³ recommended for ported enclosures, enabling louder bass output with extended low end.
  • Sd: 791 cm² cone area, providing substantial piston area for impactful bass in a compact footprint.
  • Mounting Depth: 8.25" for 15" version, defining how deeply the driver sits in the enclosure or mounting surface.
  • Outside Driver Diameter: 15.7" peak diameter, indicating the footprint required for mounting.
  • VC Diameter: 3.0" voice coil diameter, balancing heat handling and excursion capability.
  • Displacement: 0.22 ft³, representing the air moved by the active piston in typical operation.
  • Power Handling rms/peak: 1800/3600 W, indicating the continuous and peak power the driver can tolerate with proper cooling and enclosure.
  • Xmax: 24 mm, defining the maximum linear travel of the cone for deep bass before distortion becomes likely.

Benefits: In a high-end car audio build, this RS 15" excels in large, performance-oriented enclosures and with capable amplifiers. The dual-impedance voice coils and robust motor assembly enable flexible amplifier matching, while the radial venting and 5 mm aluminum shorting ring manage heat during long bass bursts for consistent excursions. With a substantial cone area (Sd) and a 24 mm Xmax, it delivers deep, impactful bass while maintaining control and structural integrity in demanding listening environments.
