Coil Configuration

Description

DC Audio Level 6 M6 Elite Subwoofer — built in the USA for serious, high-power bass, featuring a 4" voice coil and reinforced motor assembly. Available in 15" and 18" sizes, it’s engineered for extreme excursion and low-frequency control in large, performance-focused builds.

  • Power Handling: 4500 Watts RMS / 9000 Watts Peak — designed to tolerate sustained high-power bass without losing control when paired with capable amplifiers.
  • Voice Coil & Former: 4.0" hi-temp aluminum voice coil wound on a black anodized aluminum former — provides strong thermal handling and linear motion under demanding power.
  • Cone & Surround: Kraft pulp fiber reinforced cone with wide long-throw foam surround — supports high excursion with stiffness and resilience, aiding deep, accurate bass.
  • Dust Cover: Dome polypropylene dust cover with white DC logo — maintains a smooth surface for air movement and protects the motor assembly.
  • Spiders: 10" OD spaced spiders — contribute to extended linear travel and consistent control at high Xmax.
  • Frame & Mounting: Cast DC Series aluminum black frame with no inverted mounting - rigid chassis for precision alignment and durability in tight installs.
  • Wiring & Termination: 8 AWG OFC direct leads — low resistance connections for minimal power loss at high excursion.
  • Motor Assembly: FEA-optimized motor, fully CNC machined, extended pole, and rearward coil clearance — optimized for high power and long-throw performance.
  • Top Plate & Boot: Wire-cut top plate, full inner aluminum sleeve shorting ring, and a motor boot with embossed DC Audio and LV6 logos — refined assembly details to improve stiffness and reliability.
  • Size-Specific Specs: 15" model: mounting depth 12.5", outside diameter 15.7", VC diameter 4.0"; 18" model: mounting depth 13.5", outside diameter 18.5", VC diameter 4.0" — designed to fit large enclosures and handle substantial volume demands.
  • enclosure guidance: Ported box suggestions — 15": 3.5 ft³; 18": 6.0 ft³ (sealed: not provided) — aligns with the driver’s high-displacement, high-power nature for tuned bass response.

Benefits: In a real-world install, the Level 6 M6 Elite excels in SPL-oriented or high-output street setups where a low, authoritative bass is required from large enclosures. The combination of a 4" voice coil, oversized motor, and reinforced construction provides strong control at high power, while the 15" and 18" variants let you tailor enclosure volume and tuning to your vehicle’s trunk or hatch space. The ported-box recommendations correlate with its low-frequency reach, making it a purpose-built choice for enthusiasts chasing deep, measurable bass without compromising mechanical integrity.
