Subwoofer Ground Zero GZNW 38NEO-XSPL

Ground Zero GZNW 38NEO-XSPL is a top-tier 15" SPL subwoofer from the Nuclear line, engineered for maximum acoustic pressure and high-level competition use. It features an ultra-light, rigid carbon fiber cone and a carbon dust cap, ensuring extreme stiffness and minimal distortion even at huge excursions. A multi-piece neodymium motor delivers enormous force and efficiency while remaining more compact and lighter than ferrite systems. A massive 75 mm (3") eight-layer voice coil made of CCA wire together with a seven-layer 12" spider ensure stable, controlled operation even under extreme load. The aluminum die-cast basket with optimized airflow and firmly attached power leads emphasize the extreme robustness and competition-focused character of this subwoofer.

Specifications of the Ground Zero Nuclear series

The Nuclear series from Ground Zero represents a balanced combination of high-end products for quality listening (SQ) and powerful components for competition applications with high sound pressure (SPL). Within this series you will find precisely engineered component speakers like the GZNK 165SQ-K, which deliver detailed and clean reproduction thanks to technologies such as Kevlar cones and vented aluminum baskets, as well as extremely powerful long-throw subwoofers (Xmax) with massive magnetic systems designed for extreme performance in SPL contests. Nuclear appeals both to audiophiles seeking musical detail and fidelity and to fans of maximum output who demand deep, aggressive bass. By combining competition experience, advanced materials and precise tuning, the Nuclear series sets a new standard in its class.

RMS powerThe RMS power of the subwoofer is the constant power of continuous use of the subwoofer. If the power is exceeded for a longer period of time, irreversible damage may occur, or to burn out the voice coil of the subwoofer. 6000 W
Sensitivity (SPL 2.83V/1m)Subwoofer sensitivity or efficiency.

The sensitivity of the subwoofer is given in decibels (dB) and, in simple terms, means that the higher the value, the lower the demands on the power of the amplifier. This is a de facto rating of how a subwoofer converts watts to sound. Sensitivity ratings are in noise level measured at 1 meter from the subwoofer using 1 W (watt of power) or using 2.83 volts at the source at 1 meter.

A higher decibel level means the subwoofer is louder with less power. For every 3 dB increase in sensitivity, the subwoofer requires half the power to reproduce the same volume. For example, if an 88 dB subwoofer needs 300 Watts to produce a certain volume, then a subwoofer with 91 dB sensitivity needs only 150 Watts to reach the same efficiency.
92 dB

ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying a subwoofer, it is very important that everyone make sure that the impedance matches the amplifier that you are connecting to it. For subwoofers with a double voice coil, we recommend following the information in the advice center!

Example:
A 2 Ohm subwoofer cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms. A 4 Ohm subwoofer can easily be used on an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. Connecting a 4 Ohm subwoofer to an amplifier that is stable up to 4 Ohms also without problems. The most common subwoofer impedance is 4 Ohm.
1 + 1 Ω
Subwoofer diameterThe diameter of the subwoofer is indicated on the screw holes. The overall outer diameter of the subwoofer is usually 1-2 cm wider, depending on the size category of the subwoofer. For a 30 cm subwoofer, the outer diameter incl. protective rubber 31.8 cm and in the 25 cm subwoofer it is 26.5 cm incl. protective rubbers. 380 mm (15\")
Subwoofer mounting depthThe mounting depth of the subwoofer is measured from the bottom edge of the magnet to the bottom edge of the subwoofer's metal or cast basket. 315 mm
Fs - resonant frequencyFs - is the lower resonant frequency. This parameter is the de facto free air resonant frequency of the subwoofer. Simply put, it is the point at which the weight of the subwoofer's moving parts equals the force of the subwoofer's suspension while it is in motion. If you've ever seen a piece of string start to hum uncontrollably in the wind, you've seen the effect of reaching a resonant frequency.

The weight of the moving parts and the stiffness of the suspension (surround and spider) are key elements that affect the resonant frequency. As a general rule, a lower Fs indicates a subwoofer that would be better at reproducing low frequencies than a subwoofer with a higher Fs. However, this is not always the case, as other important parameters of the subwoofer also enter the resulting sound.
31 Hz
Xmax + -Xmax - the maximum deflection of the subwoofer diaphragm in one direction – it is not a sum, or an abbreviation for the maximum linear deflection. The subwoofer output becomes non-linear as the voice coil begins to leave the magnetic gap. 80 mm
Subwoofer voice coil diameterThe larger the diameter of the voice coil, the more load capacity the subwoofer has, in layman's terms. 75 mm
Subwoofer diaphragm materialThe specific material from which the subwoofer membrane is made. Carbon fibers
