Dayton Audio RS180S-8 7" Reference Shielded Woofer

The Dayton Audio RS180S-8 7" Reference Shielded Woofer delivers exceptional accuracy and clarity in bass and mid-bass reproduction, making it a standout choice for discerning audio enthusiasts. Designed for use in both sealed and ported enclosures, this 8-ohm driver excels in high-fidelity loudspeaker systems, home theatre setups, and custom audio projects where precise low-frequency response is paramount. Its shielded construction also makes it ideal for use near CRT displays or other sensitive equipment without magnetic interference.

Engineered with an aluminium cone and a copper voice coil, the RS180S-8 ensures low distortion and reliable performance across its operating range. Key technical features include a total Q factor (Qts) of 0.36, which allows for flexible enclosure design, and a maximum linear excursion (Xmax) of 6 mm, enabling robust output with controlled cone movement. The sensitivity is rated at 86.9 dB SPL (1m/2.83V), while the DC resistance (Re) is 6.4 ohms. With a nominal diameter of 177.8 mm and a cut-out diameter of 146 mm, this woofer integrates seamlessly into standard baffle designs. The combination of a low voice coil inductance (Le: 0.79 mH) and a well-damped mechanical system (Qms: 1.45) contributes to its clean, articulate sound.

For those seeking a reliable, high-performance driver that balances technical precision with practical versatility, the Dayton Audio RS180S-8 is an excellent investment in audio quality.
