B&C Speakers 15" 8 Ohm 1400W High Output Ferrite Woofer – 15FW88-8

Overview

The B&C Speakers 15FW88-8 is a performance-oriented 15-inch low-frequency driver designed to meet the demands of modern professional loudspeaker systems. It features a high-flux ferrite magnet incorporated into a compact but powerful motor package, driving a 3.5-inch (88mm) aluminum voice coil. This balanced design delivers unexpected low-frequency output and extended midrange response, making it an excellent choice for two-way applications where both power and clarity are critical.

Engineered for reliability in harsh environments, the 15FW88-8 includes a waterproof treatment on the front of the cone and a double silicone spider with optimized compliance. The motor structure utilizes an aluminum demodulating ring to significantly reduce distortion, while a ventilated voice coil gap minimizes power compression during prolonged use. With a continuous program power rating of 1400W, this woofer offers a robust solution for touring sound, fixed installations, and high-output monitors.

Features

• High Power Handling – Capable of 700W nominal and 1400W continuous program power for demanding audio applications.
• Precision Motor Design – Features a 3.5-inch aluminum voice coil and a ventilated gap to reduce power compression.
• Low Distortion – An aluminum demodulating ring sharpens the response and lowers distortion figures.
• Weather Resistant – The cone is treated with a waterproof coating on the front side for increased durability.
• Optimized Suspension – Uses a double silicone spider and triple roll surround for controlled, linear excursion.
