OutRAGEous – Version 3 has been updated with a larger surround, allowing for increased excursion.
From setting the trend with the 1st gen of the RAGE woofers, watching them gain in popularity & success, the gap from the RIOT series was too narrow. Albeit the performance of the RAGE XL seemed to be far ahead from the RAGE. The prevalence to upgrade your system, with cost efficient high power amplifiers is greater than before. 2 to 3.000 watts is near considered a minimum or a standard today. So we decided to redesign the RAGE to be outRageous. The v3 isn’t a mere facelift, but an entirely new platform. The 15″ also marked a total farewell to the TI basket.
The new basket is a clear derivative from our other custom tooled platforms, but with a simpler & less featured design, better suited for subwoofers below the RAGE XL series. Still there’s plenty of bling, which the B2 logos under the spokes exeplifies.
The Gain
Switching it up, our beefier subs has near always been available in dual 1 & dual 2 Ω. So the v3 had to fall in that line. The magnet structure was inspired by the long lived & loved HN series, but with clear advantages. With oversized flared vents on the woofers backplate its clearly obvious! Moving air & heat more effectively keeps your coil cooler and lowers distortion. Gaining in all aspects, the motor system has a 15% increase in width and 6% in height vs the first gen RAGE. Heavy weight, fittingly describing the new voice coil. A 15% + taller wind increases xmax, power handling & the lower fs helps with deep bass frequency response. Based on specs alone this RAGE v3 is OutRAGEous. It even surpasses the HN in xmech and the taller roll surround offers less resistance and a cleaner sound at larger excursions.
Soaring Sugar
12″ and 15″ woofers both offer the oversized dual tinsel leads mated with a 10″ progressive nomex spider. Connectivity is handled by massive 4GA speaker terminals. The Cones are still coated and thick paper for a richer sound, mated with and up to extra stiff carbon dustcap
