Its ferrite magnet structure and 4-layer voice coil enhance the efficiency of the transducer, resulting in powerful sound reproduction. Especially if you enjoy listening to music with intense bass, you will benefit from this design, as even during longer playback times, the sound quality remains intact thanks to the efficient heat dissipation through the ventilated pole and the ventilated spider.

        What is the maximum linear excursion of the W5-1138SMF Subwoofer?

        The maximum linear excursion, also known as Xmax, of the Tang Band W5-1138SMF Subwoofer is 9.25 mm. This value indicates how far the diaphragm of the subwoofer can move without causing distortion in the sound image. This impressive excursion allows the subwoofer to produce deep bass tones with precision and clarity, creating an unparalleled listening experience. In combination with the wide roll surround and stable spider, a consistent sound performance is achieved that does not lose sound neutrality even under high load. Such technical finesse makes it a favorite among audiophiles.

        What is the impedance of the Tang Band W5-1138SMF?

        The Tang Band W5-1138SMF Subwoofer has an impedance of 4 Ohm. This impedance ensures optimal performance in most automotive and home audio systems, as many amplifiers are designed for this impedance value. This allows for flexible integration of the subwoofer into existing sound configurations without performance issues or insufficient drive. With the appropriate impedance, amplifiers can operate more efficiently, resulting in a balanced and powerful sound without excessive power losses. Choosing a subwoofer with 4 Ohm is particularly advantageous in systems that value linear power transfer.

        What are the dimensions of the Tang Band W5-1138SMF Subwoofer?

        The Tang Band W5-1138SMF Subwoofer has an overall outer diameter of 155.95 mm. The diameter of the sound hole is 120.39 mm, while the installation depth is 93.21 mm. When installing in a vehicle or speaker system, it is important to consider these dimensions to ensure a proper fit and acoustic performance. The dimensions allow for installation in a variety of compact audio applications. With these specifications, the Subwoofer fits in both cars and certain furniture pieces or hi-fi furniture designed for such dimensions without compromising sound quality.

        What resonance frequency does the Tang Band W5-1138SMF Subwoofer offer?

        The Tang Band W5-1138SMF Subwoofer has a very low resonance frequency (Fs) of 45 Hz. This ability to efficiently reproduce deep bass tones gives it its characteristic sound depth, which is not found in many comparable models. The low resonance frequency is a sign of a powerful Subwoofer capable of delivering even the lowest frequencies with clarity and precision. This is supported by the durable rubber surround and the large voice coil, which ensures a distortion-free sound image even at high volumes. These features make it ideal for home theater systems or digital audio environments that require high sound fidelity.
