It features two 8-inch Kevlar-cone subwoofers, one 8-inch Kevlar-cone woofer, a 5-inch Kevlar/foam lower-midrange, a 2-inch metal-dome upper-midrange, and a 1-inch metal-dome tweeter, with first-order crossovers at 50Hz, 400Hz, 1kHz, and 3kHz. Frequency response spans 23Hz to 20kHz within 1dB, sensitivity is 87dB/2.83V/1m, and impedance is 3 ohms nominal. Each cabinet stands 64 inches tall and weighs 180 lbs.
