Stereo Integrity
SQL 15 Series 2
15 Inch Sound Quality Loud Subwoofer | Sold Individually
The SQL 15 Series 2 carries the Stereo Integrity SQL formula to a 15 inch cone. It has 127.6 square inches of piston area, compared with 82.51 on the SQL 12, so it moves considerably more air while keeping the motor, coil, and suspension design that defines the series. Stereo Integrity designed the line in Finite Element Analysis software and verified the coil and mass balance on a Klippel system.
Like the rest of the SQL series, it is built to lay down an accurate sound quality foundation and still hit hard when a track demands it. Stereo Integrity recommends 2 cubic feet sealed or 4.25 cubic feet ported.
The SQL 15 uses the series SGLC overhung motor with a 2.75 inch solid copper voice coil on a split, black anodized aluminum former. A solid aluminum Faraday ring inside the Y35 ferrite structure reduces inductance so transients stay quick.
At 2.75 inches the coil sits between the usual 2.5 and 3 inch sizes, keeping inductance below a 3 inch coil while making more motor force than a 2.5 inch coil.
Two 8 3/8 inch Nomex spiders give an even compliance curve through the linear stroke and stiffen near the limit to handle extra excursion. Mirrored, stitched-on flat lead wires keep the coil from rocking.
The naturally dried, treated paper cone and tall roll rubber surround are matched to the spiders so the suspension stays balanced as excursion climbs.
Stereo Integrity rates the SQL 15 at 1000 watts RMS. Its sealed recommendation is 2 cubic feet, and its ported recommendation is 4.25 cubic feet tuned to 22 Hz with 20 square inches of port area. The driver displaces 0.16 cubic feet.
Built for this driver: Proline X builds Performance Optimized sealed wedge enclosures for the SQL-15 in single and dual configurations, plus a ported wedge, at our shop in Tennessee.
Dual 2 ohm coils wire to 1 ohm in parallel or 4 ohms in series, and dual 4 ohm coils wire to 2 ohms in parallel or 8 ohms in series, so choose the version that matches the load your amplifier wants.
Paper and carbon fiber dust caps are both available. Stereo Integrity publishes one specification set for the SQL 15 and does not list separate figures for either dust cap or impedance.
Cutout: 14.17 in. Outer diameter: 15.55 in. Mounting depth: 7.4 in. Displacement: 0.16 cu ft. Stereo Integrity lists 1.25 in from the baffle to the top of the surround.
Audio Intensity is an authorized Stereo Integrity dealer, and we build enclosures around their drivers.
