Hertz Mille Legend ML 2000.3

Hertz Mille Legend ML 2000.3 - 8-inch Subwoofer for compact, precise bass setups

The Hertz Mille Legend ML 2000.3 is an 8-inch subwoofer that enables high levels and clean control even in very small enclosures. It was developed for sealed boxes and combines a powerful 100 mm voice coil with a large neodymium magnet assembly and a stiff, mineral-reinforced paper cone. This gives you powerful, fast bass in a small space – ideal for side pockets or trunk niches.

Technical Highlights

• Large neodymium magnet, FEA-optimized for stable magnetic field at high excursions
• CNC-machined steel plates with very low carbon content for high magnetic conductivity and low distortion
• Inner-pole motor design with high efficiency/size ratio
• CCAW voice coil, 100 mm (4"), rated up to 1400 W musical power at low operating temperature
• In/Out coil winding for uniform cooling of all layers
• TIL former (fiberglass composite) for good heat dissipation and high stiffness
• Aluminum shorting ring on the pole piece for distortion reduction and better low-frequency extension
• "Boundary Free" IIR rubber surround for more usable cone area and SPL
• Exponential V-cone geometry for high cone stiffness even at large excursions
• Pressed paper cone with minerals for stiffness and damping
• Low-resonance aluminum basket with integrated ventilation under the spider
• Optimized for sealed enclosures from 10 to 17 liters
