Woofer and Tweeter

The woofer is 10 inches, calculated so that the placement provides maximum bass potential. The tweeter is one inch in diameter and is ferrofluid-cooled, meaning that it contains a small amount of a special fluid between the magnet and voice coil. This fluid allows the speaker to have a lighter voice coil which results in better overall performance.
