At the heart of H84XR is a stout 2.5” coil that can take plenty of heat and power from the most demanding installs. The voice coil is wrapped on an anodized aluminum former, for strength and weight savings, and we loaded up with triple heavy duty leads. We even added Kevlar spunlace for additional durability under extended use. Rated for 1000 watts to stay ahead of the pack in its class.
