Overview

Dayton Audio RSS460-PR 18" Reference Series Aluminum Cone Passive Radiator

Dayton Audio RSS460-PR 18" Reference Series Aluminum Cone Passive Radiator

We are proud to offer our customers the complete line of Dayton Audio Reference Series passive radiators. These high quality, well-engineered passive radiators are carefully constructed using the same rigid anodized aluminum cone and cast frame as Dayton Audio's world renowned Reference Series subwoofers, making them visually identical and a perfect match to the very popular line of drivers.

Mass Appeal

 

Each passive radiator employs the unique SMS™ (Sandwiched Mass Structure) design which keeps the majority of the mass centered between the surround and spider providing greater linearity by minimizing angular torque. These passives are also tunable using the included weights with the bolt-on mass adjustment assembly, making them easily integrated into virtually any subwoofer design.

Cast aluminum frame holds everything together

In order to support its extreme excursion, the RSS265-PR uses a rugged cast aluminum frame. The minimalistic design of the frame both eliminates unwanted flex and provides ample room for the rear of the cone. Plenty of room behind the spider makes sure that you can push the limits of excursion without bottoming out.

Packaged Contents

  • (1) Passive Radiator
  • (8) 75 gram disk weights
  • (1) Nylon locking nut (for final assembly)
 

Tip: As a general rule, the passive radiator(s) should have at least double the displacement of air (Vd) as the active woofer(s)/subwoofer(s) in the system. To calculate Vd=Xmax ∗ Sd
