Vonyx WPP13 - 13.5 cm (5.25") 75W RMS Hi-Fi Woofer
The Vonyx WPP13 is a high-fidelity woofer designed to deliver exceptional low-frequency audio performance. With a 5.25-inch (13.5 cm) diameter, this speaker is the perfect choice for both DIY audio projects and the repair or upgrade of existing sound systems. Its robust construction and the use of high-quality materials ensure accurate, deep, and distortion-free bass reproduction, ideal for audio enthusiasts seeking quality and reliability.
The heart of this woofer is its polypropylene cone, a material chosen for its excellent balance of rigidity and lightness. This characteristic allows the cone to move quickly and precisely, reproducing bass frequencies with surprising clarity and detail. Furthermore, polypropylene is highly resistant to humidity and temperature changes, ensuring greater durability and consistent performance over time. The rubber surround around the cone provides a large linear excursion, allowing for greater air displacement and, therefore, more powerful and controlled bass.
Main features
-
Polypropylene Cone: Offers an ideal combination of lightness and rigidity for a fast and accurate bass response, as well as excellent durability.
-
Rubber Suspension: Ensures a long service life and allows controlled and extended cone excursion for deep bass.
-
Powerful Ferrite Magnet: Equipped with a robust 19-ounce magnet that provides a strong magnetic field for superior cone movement control and high efficiency.
-
High Power Capacity: Supports up to 75W RMS power and 150W peaks, making it suitable for moderate to high power audio systems.
-
1.5" Voice Coil": Designed to effectively dissipate heat and handle power without compromising performance, even during extended listening sessions.
-
Wide Frequency Response: Capable of reproducing a frequency range from 65 Hz to 6,000 Hz, integrating perfectly as a bass speaker in 2 or 3 way systems.
Product benefits
The Vonyx WPP13 is designed for audiophiles and enthusiasts looking to enhance their listening experience. The rigidity of the polypropylene cone minimizes distortion, resulting in a clean and detailed sound. The rubber surround not only improves bass response but also prevents the deterioration that affects other materials like foam, ensuring years of reliable performance. Its large ferrite magnet ensures that every bass note is impactful and well-defined, without sacrificing control or clarity.
Use cases
This woofer is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide variety of applications. It's the ideal choice for building your own bookshelf speakers or hi-fi floorstanding speakers from scratch. It's also perfect as a replacement part for repairing older speakers whose woofers have been damaged or deteriorated. Thanks to its standard 8-ohm impedance, it's compatible with most home theater amplifiers and receivers on the market. Its compact size makes it suitable for installations where space is limited but you don't want to sacrifice bass quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use this woofer to replace the one in any speaker?
- Yes, provided the mounting dimensions (114 mm diameter and 69 mm depth) and impedance (8 ohms) are compatible with your speaker cabinet and amplifier. It is recommended to check the specifications of your original speaker.
- Is it suitable for a car audio system?
- Although primarily designed for home Hi-Fi applications (8 ohms), it could be used in car audio systems if the amplifier is compatible with that impedance. Most car systems use 4 ohms, so verifying compatibility is crucial.
- What type of speaker enclosure is recommended for this woofer?
- The Vonyx WPP13 is versatile and can work well in both sealed enclosures, for more controlled and precise bass, and ported (bass-reflex) enclosures, for greater extension and power in the lower frequencies.
- Do I need a crossover for this speaker?
- Yes. For optimal performance in a multi-way system (e.g., with a tweeter), it is highly recommended to use a crossover filter to direct only the low and mid frequencies to the woofer, preventing it from reproducing high frequencies.
