Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 | 2" Wideband - Pair

The Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 is a 2 inch wideband driver, the flagship of the Karma lineup. A wideband reproduces the midrange and the highs from a single cone, playing all the way to 20 kHz, so it can serve as your entire upper range without a separate tweeter.

No. The Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 plays to 20 kHz on its own, so it is designed to run with no tweeter. Removing the tweeter also removes a crossover point from the critical midrange and frees up amplifier and DSP channels for other uses.

High-pass the Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 at 300 Hz minimum, or 350 Hz in the included pod, on a 24 dB-per-octave slope, and pair it with a midbass such as the Karma Mobile Audio Allure 6 Midbass or Aspect 6.9 plus a subwoofer. Crossing higher, toward 400 Hz, gives the small cone more room and raises its usable power. It does not use a tweeter.

Run the Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 as the wideband on top, high-passed at 300 Hz or higher to a midbass such as the Karma Mobile Audio Allure 6 Midbass or Aspect 6.9, with a subwoofer carrying the low end. It needs no tweeter. Feed it a clean 10 to 15 watts. Send us your system and we will recommend the exact crossover points.

The Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 handles 75 watts with a 350 Hz high-pass and up to 100 watts with a 400 Hz high-pass, on a 24 dB-per-octave slope. A higher crossover gives the cone more room and raises usable power. These figures assume clean, low-distortion power. A clipping or distorted signal will destroy this driver almost instantly regardless of wattage, so invest in a clean amplifier with headroom and set your gains correctly. In normal use a wideband only draws 10 to 20 watts to play loud.

The Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 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 pair of angled black ABS pods included in the box makes either approach easy.

The Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 is small with wide off-axis response, which makes it ideal for factory dash or center wideband locations, A-pillars, and custom pods. The bare driver uses a 77.5mm flange with a 66mm cutout and six holes on a 74.2mm circle, and the included pod is 77.5mm across by 72.5mm deep.

The Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty, extended to 2 years when professionally installed by Audio Intensity as your authorized dealer. The warranty covers the original purchaser and is non-transferable. Contact us with any questions before you buy.
