DIMENSIONS AND VOLUMES
THIELE/SMALL PARAMETERS
The information below is provided to enable custom enclosure design and is
intended for professional use only. Please consult your Authorized Diamond Retailer
for an enclosure which best suits your requirements.
RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURES
Diamond's M6 Series subwoofers are primarily designed for use with small sealed
enclosures. Good results have also been achieved in vented and bandpass
enclosures. Although “free-air” (infinite-baffle) applications are NOT recommended,
they may be used successfully in low-power systems (e.g., 75W or less per sub).
HIGH PASS ("SUBSONIC") FILTERS MUST BE USED WITH NON-SEALED APPLICATIONS
TO PREVENT OVER-EXCURSION AT INFRASONIC FREQUENCIES.
The enclosure volumes shown below are NET INTERNAL VOLUMES. Driver, vent and
brace displacement must be taken into account when designing your enclosure.
Titanium Magnesium Alloy Cone - High rigidity, smooth linear response
Die-cast Alloy Chassis - High strength maintains critical parts alignment
NBR Rubber Surround - Durable at environmental extremes. Large roll allows long stroke
Machined Backplate/Pole - Precision engineered to exacting tolerance
Aluminum VC Former - 400% stronger than Kapton®, excellent heat transfer
3" Dia. Pure Copper Coil - 4-layer design. High thermal/current capacity for high power handling.
Mirror Image Dual Nomex® Spiders with woven lead wires -Enormous controlled
excursion, ultimate durability, no lead slap.
3-Year Warranty - If purchased from and installed by an Authorized Diamond Retailer.
FEATURES
INSTALLATION
The installations and enclosures shown in this manual are offered as a suggestion
only. Since enclosure design is as important to sound quality as the speaker itself, it
is recommended that your Authorized Diamond Retailer assist you in designing and
building an enclosure to suit your vehicle. For more information on selecting the
best subwoofer enclosure, consult the "FAQ" page of our web site,
