Description
Engineered to deliver aggressive, hard-hitting midbass punch and upper-bass impact, the Elite Sounds ES450-2.5W-10S2 is a 10-inch high-output pro-audio midbass woofer built for extreme motorcycle bagger setups, custom door panels, and high-SPL pro-audio arrays.
Rated for 450 Watts RMS, this driver combines a high-flux motor assembly with a heavy-duty 2.5-inch high-temperature voice coil and a reinforced cone surround. Built to handle intense power and high excursion, the ES450-2.5W-10S2 bridges the gap between your subwoofers and horn tweeters, delivering thick, chest-thumping lower-midrange energy that cuts cleanly through wind, exhaust, and high-volume road noise.
