General / Features
• 2-way component speaker system
• Uses 8.165 6.5″ mid/woofer as the woofer component
• Tweeter: 8.028S square / “S” version of the 28 mm dome tweeter
• Designed for ESB’s 8000 Series – refined materials, advanced motor structures, and precision engineering
Woofer (8.165) Highlights
• Cone: Unpressed paper cone, coated for rigidity and damping
• Magnetic system: Y-35 ferrite magnet, vented design for heat dissipation
• Voice coil: 32.4 mm, aluminum former
• Basket: CNC-machined aluminum, optimized rigidity
• Surround: TWS rubber surround for linear excursion
• Spider: Progressive suspension for control and linearity
• Cut-in / response: ~45 Hz low end up to ~4,000 Hz crossover point
• Sensitivity: ~89 dB @ 1W/1m (in this system)
• Power Handling (nominal / transient): ~160 W RMS / 320 W peak
• Nominal Impedance: 4 Ω (in this system)
Tweeter (8.028S) Highlights
• 1.1″ / 28 mm dome tweeter
• Coil: Aluminum former with 28 mm voice coil
• Magnet: High-grade neodymium or optimized magnet design
• Dome material: Torcon® soft dome made from heat-resistant fiber polymer
• Venting / cooling: Venting in structure to reduce distortion and manage thermal load
• Frequency domain typically begins ~3,000 Hz and up to ~25,000 Hz
• Sensitivity: ~91 dB @ 1W/1m in tweeter domain
• Impedance: 4 Ω nominal
Crossover / System Integration
• Passive 2-way crossover (sold separately) or optional crossovers tailored for the 8.6K2S
• Crossover point typically ~3.5 kHz
• Tweeter attenuation (via jumper or switch) to accommodate room tuning (0 dB, –2 dB, –4 dB, –6 dB)
• Designed for seamless blend between woofer and tweeter with minimal phase shift
