T6 SERIES

The Tradition Continues....

The new T6 subwoofers are the next gen-eration in the Tarantula series. As times change, so do people and music. Today calls for a lot of gut wrenching low bass. Both the 12” and 15” T6 has resonant frequencies 5Hz lower than the T5. And you thought the T5s
played low! To accommodate the massive amount of air movement, the excursion capabilities have been increased 43% on both sizes! But it is not solely just a performance upgrade, it is also way cooler to
look at. The transparent smoke cone can be backlit for custom installations. The unique spoked subcone is cool to look at too....

T5 SERIES

The T5 woofers are in a constant state of evolution. Materials change, technology changes and so must the T5s. We stiffened up the spider by 30% allowing higher power handling and longer life before the suspension fatigues. The rest of the driver remains unchanged. How much different does it sound and perform? Nearly identical, you won’t notice the difference, but they’ll take a harder beating…
