The ESB DB2-6.5 is a high-efficiency mid-woofer from the DBBurn series, specifically engineered for high-output applications where the front stage must keep pace with powerful subwoofers. This 165 mm driver is built for those creating SQL and SPL systems, featuring a rigid cone and a motor construction designed to maintain high output without thermal compression. With a continuous power handling of 170 W and a maximum of 340 W, it operates best with amplifiers providing between 60 and 250 W RMS. The unit delivers a sensitivity of 94.5 dB (2.83 V/1 m) across a frequency range of 85 to 9,000 Hz, supported by a 38.6 mm voice coil and a linear excursion of 3.45 mm. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use a high pass filter, such as 85 Hz at 24 dB/octave. Designed for builders who prioritize Italian engineering in high-pressure environments, this 4-ohm driver provides the necessary volume and clarity for competition-oriented setups. Its robust design allows it to handle sustained high-power operation, making it a reliable choice for demanding car audio installations.
