Dayton Audio DW3-1053SC 3" Full Range Driver
The Dayton Audio DW3-1053SC 3" full-range has an attractive pincushion
style frame, edge-damped poly cone, flat spider, and rubber surround. The
underhung 7/8" voice coil provides nearly ideal cone control to deliver linear
travel and wide frequency response. With extremely smooth, extended frequency
response you can expect an easy transition to tweeters in multi-way designs and
a remarkably full sound in full range systems. A neodymium magnet with black
plastic heat sink fins minimizes weight making the DW3-1053SC perfect for use in
line arrays or portable speakers.
