Vonyx WPP20 - 20cm (8 inch) Hi-Fi Woofer and 100W RMS

Vonyx WPP20 - 20cm (8 inch) Hi-Fi Woofer and 100W RMS

The Vonyx WPP20 is a high-fidelity woofer designed to deliver exceptional audio performance in the low and mid frequencies. With a 20 cm (8-inch) diameter and a power rating of 100W RMS, this component is the ideal choice for both replacing speakers in existing sound systems and building new custom speaker enclosures (DIY). Its robust construction and high-quality materials ensure crisp, powerful, and long-lasting sound reproduction.

The core of its performance lies in a polypropylene cone, a material known for its rigidity, lightness, and excellent internal damping. This allows the woofer to move with precision and speed, resulting in defined, distortion-free bass. The flexible rubber surround surrounding the cone ensures extended linear travel, enabling it to handle peak power of up to 200W and improving low-frequency response. The robust 33-ounce ferrite magnet, along with an efficient ventilation system, provides the magnetic force necessary for precise motion control and optimal heat dissipation during extended use.

Main features

• Power and performance: Capable of handling 100W RMS power and peaks of up to 200W, delivering a powerful and controlled sound.
• High-quality cone: Made of polypropylene for a fast, accurate bass response free of unwanted resonances.
• Durable rubber suspension: Provides great flexibility and resilience, allowing controlled cone excursion to reproduce the lowest frequencies with clarity.
• Robust ferrite magnet: Its 33-ounce (approximately 935g) magnet ensures a powerful magnetic field for superior moving coil control.
• 2-inch voice coil: A generously sized voice coil that improves power management and heat dissipation.
• Wide frequency response: Covers a range from 34 Hz ​​to 3,000 Hz, ideal for faithfully reproducing bass and mid frequencies.
• Standard impedance: With an impedance of 8 ohms, it is compatible with the vast majority of amplifiers and receivers on the market.

Benefits of the Vonyx WPP20

This woofer has been designed for audio enthusiasts looking to enhance the sound quality of their equipment. Its robust construction ensures a long lifespan and consistent performance. The combination of a polypropylene cone and rubber surround not only produces high-quality sound but also resists moisture and the effects of time better than traditional paper cones. Its versatility makes it perfect for a wide range of applications, from home stereo systems to near-field studio monitors.

Use cases

The Vonyx WPP20 is an extremely versatile component, perfect for:

• Repair and upgrade: Ideal replacement for damaged or low-quality woofers in bookshelf or floorstanding speakers.
• DIY (Do It Yourself) Projects: It is an excellent basis for building custom speaker systems, whether 2 or 3 way.
• Home Cinema Systems: Enhance the impact and depth of low-frequency effects in your home cinema system.
• Sound reinforcement: It can be used in small sound reinforcement applications that require clear reproduction of voice and music in the low-mid frequency range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this woofer suitable for a car audio system?
No, the Vonyx WPP20 is designed with an 8-ohm impedance, which is standard for home audio and Hi-Fi applications. Car audio systems typically use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or less.

Do I need a crossover to install this speaker?
Yes, for optimal performance in a multi-way system (for example, with a tweeter), it is highly recommended to use a crossover filter to send each speaker only the frequencies it can reproduce efficiently. For this woofer, a crossover point below 3,000 Hz would be appropriate.

Can I use it as a subwoofer?
Although it has good low-frequency response (starting at 34 Hz), its design is that of a low-midrange woofer. For deep subsonic bass, a speaker specifically designed as a subwoofer is recommended.
