Intro - While many companies try to push the limits of the larger sized subwoofers on the market today, CDT has done the opposite in this case. The new M6 6.5" midbass/sub driver is CDT's new plain for the midbass lover and for those who have very limited space for a subwoofer application. The M6 is designed to be used infinite baffle (in a well deadened door), sealed, or even ported. Not only is it very versatile on application but it is also able to be used in a conventional 2 way component/braxial system due to its wide range response.
Inspection - These drivers are shipped in a white box with great packaging. One thing that stands out is the plastic covers that rest on the front of the mid to protect the cone. This is an ingenious idea from CDT! Once removed from the packaging I started to look the drivers over. The cones are made of a woven fiber blend which is light and rigid and yes it looks awesome! The surround is made of butyl rubber for long life and low loss. The frame is solid cast powder coated in the signature CDT red. The drivers use gold plated push terminals for easy connections. The tinsel leads are woven into the spider to prevent slap against the cone. This is a feature that I always hope to see in high excursion designs. The motor has a decent size to it with a weight of 30 oz and still the mounting depth is only 2.94" which is pretty shallow for a driver of this type.
