Aramid fibre is a stiff, lightweight material that holds its shape under load, so the cone moves accurately without flexing. That keeps the bass tight and controlled, even when you push the volume. It sits within our range of replacement and project drivers aimed at Hi-Fi builders and repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rubber surround supports the cone and allows plenty of travel, which helps with clean low-end output and long-term reliability. The 4-layer voice coil is heat resistant, so the woofer copes well with sustained power and short peaks without losing composure. Behind the cone, a vented magnet assembly keeps the coil cooler by letting air move through the motor, which reduces the risk of thermal compression during longer listening sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chassis (or basket, as it is sometimes called in the US) is black metal, giving the driver a solid mounting frame that resists ringing and vibration. Connection is made through spade terminals, so wiring into an existing enclosure or crossover is straightforward. Rated at 8 ohms, the QXW8 matches most standard amplifiers and passive setups. It suits people replacing a failed driver, upgrading an older speaker, or building a cabinet from scratch, and it produces a smooth, even sound across its working band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoice coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 layer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWoofers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQXW8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the QXW8 woofer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an 8-inch driver, so it fits enclosures and cutouts designed for a standard 8\" woofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat impedance is the QXW8?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is rated at 8 ohms, which matches most standard amplifiers and passive crossover setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the cone use aramid fibre?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAramid fibre is stiff and light, so the cone keeps its shape under load.
