JBL has released its new GTO Subwoofers that will consist of die-cast aluminum baskets, polypropylene cones, rubber surrounds, and a different tinsel-wire protector that additionally strengthens the joint amidst the cone, the voice coil and the spider. The joint is the most fundamental part since it must be strong ample to resist more stress than any other point in the moving assembly, but JBL has all of it down pat. According to Michael Silber, director of product development for Harman Consumer Group’s Mobile, Portable and Companion Products division. “JBL woofers have to pass a 100-hour ability tryout in which the RMS and peak potential levels are tested simultaneously. When you see ‘300 watts, RMS’ and ‘1200 watts, peak’ in our ratings, you can be certain that those numbers are tested and verified. Additionally, to be certain the moving parts are robust, we subject every design to a proprietary mechanical potential handling tryout at up to 17 times the RMS power-handling rating, which means these woofers have to survive tryout signals as high as 6000 watts. We’re fanatical

about product quality.” The available models are :-
