The Most Capable Wideband Karma Makes
The Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 3 is a 3 inch wideband driver and the top of the entire Karma lineup, sitting above the Allure series in refinement and performance. It is designed by speaker engineer Dr. Rishi S. Gurbani and sold as a pair.
Like all widebands, it covers the midrange and the highs from a single cone, playing to 20 kHz with no tweeter. The larger 3 inch cone gives it more output and lower reach than the Inspire 2, and it rewards an install where you can get it more on-axis.
Built to Perform
The Inspire 3 pairs a carefully chosen set of materials with a serious motor to deliver clean, dynamic sound with very low distortion.
Copper Shorting Ring
An integrated copper shorting ring cuts inductance and distortion, especially through the upper midrange and treble where it matters most for a wideband.
Neodymium Motor
A powerful neodymium motor in a rigid cast aluminum basket gives strong magnetic control and precise cone movement, even in compact spaces.
Coated Paper Cone
A coated paper cone with a magnesium dustcap and one-piece butyl surround provides excellent damping and a natural, easy tonality.
Titanium Former, Copper Coil
A titanium voice coil former and pure copper voice coil keep the driver mechanically stable and low in distortion at high output.
How to Run It
The Inspire 3 handles the entire upper range on its own. You pair it with a midbass below and a subwoofer for the bottom.
Run the Inspire 3 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. With no tweeter to power, you free up amplifier and DSP channels for a center channel or a front sub.
It is a high Q design that still performs well in a small sealed enclosure or free-air, with free-air preferred. Because it plays louder and lower than the Inspire 2, it is the wideband to choose when you can mount it more on-axis toward the listener.
Fitment and Integration
The Inspire 3 is ideal for OEM 3 inch dash or A-pillar wideband locations and for custom pods where you can aim it at the listening position. Free-air is preferred, so it does not need a sealed box.

Pair the Inspire 3 with a Karma midbass and a sub for a clean, coherent front stage with no tweeter to blend.
Factory 3" Wideband Location
A direct upgrade for vehicles that use an OEM 3 inch dash or center wideband and have no factory tweeter.
On-Axis Custom Pod
Build it into an A-pillar or dash pod aimed at the listener to get the most from its output and detail.
Inspire 3 or Inspire 2?
Choose the Inspire 3 for more output and lower reach on-axis. Choose the Karma Mobile Audio Inspire 2 for tight factory spots and the strongest off-axis detail.
