The Low Rider is a superior choice for the bottom end of any high powered sound system, from DJ rigs to the largest professional touring shows. The Low Rider utilizes a variation on the existing Kevlar-impregnated cones used on all Black Widow speakers. The cone is stronger and tougher and uses an innovative asymmetrical -M surround for superior excursion and motion control. High quality spring terminals accepting large gauge wire are attached to large diameter high current tinsel leads with silver solder to withstand high currents, high temperatures and long excursion.
The massive new voice coil uses polyimide-insulated copper ribbon wire, edge-wound and bonded onto an incredibly durable and heat-resistant polyimide composite former. The coil’s winding length of 1.150” is an amazing 80% longer than Peavey’s standard Black Widow coil. The long coil has a large surface area to dissipate heat, and its increased length drives the cone to a far higher excursion. The coil is over coated with a tough thermoset epoxy for added durability, abrasion resistance and heat dissipation.
The coil wires are solderless diffusion welded to high conductivity OFHC copper ribbon leads, which are embedded inside the former assembly and soldered to the tinsel leads with high temperature silver solder. The solder joint is then coated with a special, thermally conductive silicone adhesive for encapsulation and heat dissipation.
