The WG2520D dual 4-ohm and WG2520 single 4-ohm 10-inch subwoofer offer the same power handling ratings as the WG3020. The more sophisticated WF2520D dual 4-ohm and WF2520 single 4-ohm voice coil 10-inch subwoofers feature a slim profile that makes them ideal for shallow-mounting depths as tight as 3-inches while still delivering 1000 watts of maximum power. Both the WG and WF series benefit from a custom stamped steel powder coated basket, aluminized composite dust cap and nitrile butadiene rubber high excursion surround.
