MTX Audio announced the release of the S65 subwoofer series at the 2016 CES. The S65 Series is designed to deliver unmatched SPL output using a patented surround design.
The S65 Series features a square design utilizing MTX Audio's patented surround geometry (US Patent #7,275,620) that allows for increased Xmax and lower distortion resulting in higher SPL and better sound quality. Additional functional technologies include MTX's Spider Plateau Venting, which mechanically targets cool air at the voice coil, and a t-yoke with integrated heat sink to further assist in removing hot air from the voice coil ensuring reliability and minimized distortion.

The S65 is uses a similar motor structure to the popular 55 Series but with a larger magnet, allowing each S65 model to handle up to 500-watts RMS power. The S65 Series is available in both 12" and 10" sizes in dual 4Ω configurations and will be shipping in early March 2016.

"The S65 is an outstanding compliment to our total product lineup," said National Mobile Audio Sales Manager, Dan McLeod. "The patented surround design used on these subs make them unbelievably loud at a price point that is perfect for today's market. Many retailers and end users have been urging us to bring our square subwoofer back, we now have that solution available for them."
