Listening to Kevlar By: Juan Gonzalez MEEN 3344

How are speakers being made?  Today, many speakers are being made using various types of materials.  They can be made from treated paper, synthetics, or composites.  Many companies are using Kevlar reinforced woofers to add strength and durability.  They feature long interlaced aramid reinforced carbon graphite IMPP.  This provides the strength and rigidity powerful bass requires.

How Kevlar makes a difference?  Kevlar is a heat resistant and strong synthetic fiber.  It has good resistance to abrasion.  It has practically no melting point, degradation starts at 500°C.

Difference between factory speaker and aftermarket speaker with Kevlar. Factory Speaker  Made of paper & foam  Can be easily torn  Don’t handle high amount of power  Foam surround dries and cracks in high heat Kevlar Reinforced Speaker  Made of Kevlar and other durable materials  Greater resistance to abrasion  Handles a much greater amount of power  Won’t dry and crack like factory speaker
