4XL Competition SPEAKERSComponents
PowerBass is proud to introduce the latest
engineering marvel to Competitors and Bass
Fanatics worldwide, the 4XL Competition Speakers.
Engineering prowess is what put PowerBass on the
map in the competition arena, the 4XL woofer is no
exception. We have integrated only the best parts
available along with cutting edge design factors
and mixed them with our engineering team’s vast
experience to come out with the loudest woofer
available only for serious Bass Engineers.
Our patented motor structure is the core of this
beasts’ power along with one of the lightest and
strongest cones on the market. The rest is classified
information that we can not talk about.
The proof is in the bass, PowerBass.
4XL 15D
Custom Tooled Cast Aluminum Basket:
Computer aligned C-Beam design to support the
high energy motor structure
.
Proprietary Dual Layer Kevlar® Cone:
Kevlar is one of the lightest and strongest
materials available that ensure not only strength,
but speed under high stress situations.
Dual 2-ohm Voice Coils: Strapping Two of our
XA-4000 D Amplifiers together for each 2-ohm
voice coil insures maximum voltage which equals
maximum output.
4" Flat Wound CCAW Voice Coils: Large
Flat wound voice coils are the best way to achieve
maximum SPL and power handling.

3XL / 2XLtweeters
3XL-2S 1.25" Pure Silk Dome Tweeter
Offered in two distinct models, these high definition tweeters are capable of producing exceptionally smooth and crisp highs. PowerBass Xtreme tweeters use edge driven
diaphragms with a large voice coil for high power handling and sensitivity. The 3XL-2S uses the finest hand treated silk available while the 2XL-1T incorporates an advanced
anodized titanium dome.

We gave our engineers the task of creating
THE BEST sounding component speaker
system and here is the result. Our latest
3XL Series component speakers deliver
increased output without any measurable
distortion thanks to our new Dual Gap
technology. The spun aluminum phase
plug can be removed and replaced by the
tweeter assembly, thus creating the
ultimate coaxial speaker—talk about
flexibility!
The innovations don’t stop there, the
engineers came up with a second
generation Hybrid Kevlar/Glass fiber cone
material, lighter and more efficient then
before while still tough enough to take on
the rigors of the road. We added a cast
basket, neodymium magnet and a 1.5”
voice coil to give you the ability to pound
out more bass then ever before while
looking sharp in the process! Available
in both 6.5” and 5.25” configurations, the
new 3XL Components are sure to stand
out from the crowd.
2XL Components
Component or conventional coax? Now
you can decide! Our new 2XL Series can
make the switch from a separate
component system to 2-way coaxials in
minutes! You can choose between a
pivoting or eyeball mount 1-inch silk dome
tweeter as well. The outboard 12dB 2-way
crossover network will make sure these
speakers sound their best no matter how
you decide to mount them. Our advanced
50/50 Wool cone is half wool and half paper
to give you those warm vocal tones while
still providing increased dynamics. A Butyl
rubber surround is used to maximize
performance while adding longevity to the
speaker. Take your listening to new limits
with the 2XL Component convertibles.
