INSTALLER'S TAKE

I have spent years competing and judging on the sound quality circuit, and widebands are one of the most interesting things happening in car audio right now. The idea is simple: let one driver cover the midrange and the highs so there is no crossover and no tweeter blend in the part of the music your ear is most sensitive to. When it works, it is shockingly coherent. The Inspire 2 is Karma's flagship take on it.

What makes a wideband live or die is the motor and the off-axis response, because in a car you are almost never sitting on-axis. The Inspire 2 is built for this, with a copper shorting ring to keep distortion down and a voicing aimed at wide dispersion. That is what lets a small driver on the dash throw a believable stage across the car.

For the install, I run it as the top end of a tweeterless setup: high-pass it to a good midbass, add a subwoofer underneath, and you have a full system with one fewer driver to integrate. It is happy in a small sealed pod or free-air, and the included ABS pods make pillar and dash mounting straightforward. A real bonus is that going tweeterless frees up amp and DSP channels for a center or a front sub.

My honest take: if you like the idea of a simpler, more coherent front stage and you are willing to dial in placement and tune, a wideband is a fantastic path, and the Inspire 2 is the most refined one Karma makes. The 2 inch is the more off-axis-friendly of the two widebands and fits factory locations better, which makes it my pick for most dash installs.

Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2

Inspire Series 2" Wideband | Sold as a Pair

2" Wideband Coated Paper Cone Copper Shorting Ring Neodymium Motor Plays to 20kHz Inspire Flagship

One Driver, No Tweeter Needed

The Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 is a 2 inch wideband driver and the top of the Karma lineup, sitting above the Allure series. It is designed by speaker engineer Dr. Rishi S. Gurbani and sold as a pair.

A wideband covers the midrange and the highs from a single cone, playing all the way to 20 kHz. That means it can run with no tweeter at all, removing a crossover point from the most sensitive part of the music and giving you a remarkably coherent, natural stage.

Built to Perform

The Inspire 2 uses the kind of motor and materials you usually see on far more expensive drivers, all aimed at low distortion and wide, even dispersion.

Copper Shorting Ring

A copper shorting ring lowers inductance and stabilizes the motor's magnetic field, which cuts distortion and keeps the high end clean and detailed.

Neodymium Motor

A high-strength neodymium motor delivers strong, controlled output from a compact, lightweight magnet structure that fits tight locations.

Coated Paper Cone

A coated paper cone with a magnesium dustcap and a one-piece butyl surround balances low mass with control for a natural, low-fatigue sound.

Wide Off-Axis Response

The Inspire 2 is voiced for excellent off-axis response, which is exactly what you want for a dash or factory location firing across the car.

How to Run It

The Inspire 2 carries the whole upper range on its own. You pair it with a midbass below and, ideally, a subwoofer for the bottom.

Run the Inspire 2 as the wideband in a tweeterless front stage. High-pass it to a midbass such as the Karma Mobile Audio Allure 6 Midbass or Aspect 6.9, and add a subwoofer for the low end. Because the Inspire 2 needs no tweeter, you free up amplifier and DSP channels for a center channel or a front sub.

It performs well in a small sealed enclosure or free-air, so you can build it into a pillar or dash pod or drop it into a factory wideband location. The included ABS pods make either path easy.

Fitment and Integration

The Inspire 2 is built for compact and off-axis installs. Its small size and wide dispersion make it ideal for factory wideband or center locations, dash corners, and A-pillars.
