A correct installation is crucial to ensure the best possible sound reproduction and secure mounting, especially in mobile applications.
The DC resistance (Re) of the Ultimax II UMII18-22 subwoofer is 4.2 ohms. This specific measurement is crucial for matching the subwoofer to various amplifier systems and significantly affects the electrical power consumption. Such a resistance level is typical for the type of voice coils in this subwoofer and ensures that power is transmitted in an efficient and consistent manner. To achieve optimal power levels, it is important to correctly match the subwoofer to the power amplifiers by taking the exact resistance characteristics into account.
The 18-inch diaphragm of the Ultimax II UMII18-22 is made from a Nomex honeycomb composite material that is reinforced with fiberglass fabric. This gives the diaphragm the necessary stiffness and ensures that it does not deform or vibrate even under extreme conditions. This robust diaphragm helps the subwoofer produce deep bass down to a frequency of 20 Hz without distortion. The large diaphragm area of 1,184 cm² contributes to the enormous air movement required to generate the low-frequency sounds for which the Ultimax II UMII18-22 is known.
The Ultimax II UMII18-22 from Dayton Audio has a frequency range of 20 to 500 Hz, making it particularly suitable for reproducing deep, penetrating bass. With a resonance frequency (Fs) of 22 Hz, this subwoofer can accurately produce low frequencies even at linear displacements. This makes it ideal for applications where low-frequency reproduction plays a significant role, such as in home theaters or high-quality car audio systems. The subwoofer is designed to reproduce low frequencies with high efficiency and minimal distortion, resulting in a powerful and clear sound image.

Ultimax ii 18“ in einem 320l Dual opposed Gehäuse betrieben mit einem Tamp e1500 Bridged

Ich habe die Treiber nun seit ein paar Tagen im Einsatz und bin höchst zufrieden. Sie spielen beeindruckend tief und erzeugen nahezu keine außerhalb der Box wahrnehmbaren Motorgeräusche – zumindest bei der Leistung, die mein Verstärker liefern kann. Durch ihre 18-Zoll-Größe bieten sie zudem mehr als genug Output.

Ich habe einen Treiber gewogen und meine Personenwaage sagt 19.1kg an.

Your advantages with Masori


Buy the Dayton Audio Ultimax II UMII18-22 18 subwoofer at a great price and experience bass power

Discover the Dayton Audio Ultimax II UMII18-22 subwoofer, a true powerhouse for every car audio enthusiast. With a whopping 1,000 watts RMS power handling, this 18-inch subwoofer delivers bombastic bass that will make your vehicle shake. The enormous peak power of 2,000 watts maximizes the Ultimax II's potential while ensuring clean, distortion-free sound even at maximum volume. Use the Masori Lowest Price Guarantee to always get this subwoofer at the best price at masori.de and benefit from flexible connection options thanks to the dual 2-ohm voice coils.

The construction of the Nomex honeycomb membrane for optimal stability

The Ultimax II UMII18-22 from Dayton Audio features an 18-inch Nomex honeycomb composite cone reinforced with fiberglass. This construction provides unparalleled rigidity and ensures the cone maintains its shape at high sound pressure levels. This aspect is essential to minimize distortion and ensure highly precise, clear bass reproduction. A less rigid cone or a weaker material would yield under these loads, leading to unwanted distortion.

Extension through 2 inches maximum excursion for powerful bass

With a linear excursion of over 2 inches, the Ultimax II subwoofer fully utilizes its 18-inch cone. The large rubber surround and dual 8-inch mirror spiders achieve an exceptionally long linear excursion, allowing for the creation of massive bass waves. This excursion allows for lower frequencies without significant distortion. A smaller excursion would limit the frequency response and make the bass range seem less powerful.

Two 2-ohm copper voice coils for flexible wiring options

The subwoofer is equipped with two 2-ohm voice coils, optimally matched to different cabling configurations. Whether in stereo 2-ohm or mono 1-ohm operation, this feature offers you flexibility during installation and adaptation to your existing system. A different voice coil resistance would limit the connection options and potentially impair efficiency.

Ultimax II DVC woofer series for special applications

The Dayton Audio Ultimax II UMII18-22 is part of the Ultimax II DVC series, known for its high power handling and efficient sound reproduction. This series features precise woofer modules that not only meet but exceed even the most demanding car audio applications. Subwoofers outside this series may quickly reach their limits at higher power levels and produce a less homogeneous sound.

Frequency response from 20 - 500 Hz for comprehensive soundscapes

The frequency response of the Ultimax II subwoofer covers a range of 20–500 Hz, allowing you to hear everything from the deepest bass tones to the midrange. This broad spectrum ensures clean separation in the bass range, while the transitions to higher frequencies are smooth. A narrower frequency range would result in the loss of important sound details, especially when combined with other speakers.

Optimized installation in closed and ventilated housings

The Dayton Audio UMII18-22 subwoofer is designed for use in both sealed and vented enclosures. This versatility optimizes its sound dispersion depending on the room or vehicle environment. Use in unsuitable enclosures could diminish bass performance and prevent a balanced soundstage.

Precision element DC resistance (Re) of 4.2 Ω and induction (Le) of 1.15 mH

With a DC resistance of 4.2 Ω and a voice coil inductance of 1.15 mH, the Ultimax II offers excellent electrical stability. These technical values ​​are crucial for the subwoofer's efficiency, as they influence current flow and prevent excessive heat buildup. Values ​​outside the standard could lead to power loss or overload.

Mechanical and electrical quality for harmonious tuning

The subwoofer features a mechanical Q-factor of 2.53 and an electrical Q-factor of 0.67. These values ​​underscore the ability to efficiently convert sound waves and keep power dissipation low. They offer a balance between compliance and control, which, combined with the overall Q-factor of 0.53, enables precise bass reproduction and higher sound pressure levels in applications.

Enormous membrane area of ​​1184 cm² for extensive air movement

With a massive diaphragm area of ​​1184 cm², the Ultimax II subwoofer pushes massive volumes of air, delivering deep, pulsating bass. A smaller diaphragm area would generate less pressure and compromise efficiency in the lower frequency range.

Force factor (BL) of 19.2 Tm as an indicator of high driving force

A high force factor of 19.2 Tm indicates a strong driving force, ensuring precise control of the diaphragm movements. This property is crucial for sound uniformity and clarity. A lower force factor would result in a certain diaphragm inertia and weaken bass definition.
