Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of amplifier is recommended for this speaker?
- For optimal performance, an amplifier capable of delivering between 500 and 600 watts RMS at 8 ohms is recommended. This provides sufficient headroom to prevent amplifier clipping and protect the speaker.
- Is it a subwoofer?
- No, the Vonyx SPSL15 is a woofer. It's designed to reproduce low and mid-bass frequencies (up to 4,000 Hz). While a subwoofer specializes solely in the lowest frequencies (generally below 120 Hz), this speaker is ideal for 2-way systems where it also needs to reproduce some of the midrange.
- How can I tell if it will fit in my speaker box?
- You must verify the mounting dimensions. This speaker requires a mounting diameter of 355 mm and a depth of 141 mm. Measure the opening in your enclosure to ensure compatibility.
- What does it mean that it has "sword terminals"?
- Spade terminals are flat connectors that allow you to quickly and securely connect speaker wires by simply sliding a compatible female connector onto them. This simplifies installation and eliminates the need to solder the wires directly to the speaker.
