Planet Audio PX12 Axis Series 12 Inch Car Audio Subwoofer - 1000 Watts Max, Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coil, Sold Individually, For Truck

Cone: Poly Injection

A substance called 'Polyurethane' and is categorized as a 'Polymer'. It is a resilient, flexible and durable manufactured material that can take the place of paint, cotton, rubber, metal or wood in thousands of applications across virtually all fields. It can be hard like fiberglass, squishy like upholstery foam, protective like varnish, bouncy like rubber or sticky like glue.

In the specific case of our cones, this material allows for maximum flexibility that produces great sounding speakers lasting you a long time.

Surround: Butyl Rubber

Butyl Rubber is a synthetic (man made) rubber and is valued for its chemical inertness, impermeability to air and the ability to endure or resist exposure to the many types of weather fronts. Butyl rubber has many different applications. Anywhere from Sports equipment to automotive parts, the medical industry and more. We use them for the Surrounds that connect the cone to the basket.

Did you know that most modern chewing gum uses food-grade butyl rubber as the central gum base, which contributes not only the gum's elasticity but an obstinate, sticky quality?

Just like that chewing gum, the Butyl Rubber Surround in our speakers can take the equivalent amount of abuse without quitting on you.

Voice Coil: Copper

'Anodizing' is a process used to increase thickness of the layer on the surface of metal parts. This process increases corrosion resistance, wear resistance and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than other bare metals. The color Black has been used in the case of the PX12 subwoofer.
