Six-Column Neodymium Motor. Extreme Performance.

At the heart of the NEO Elite 3.5 is a powerful six-column neodymium motor assembly, engineered to provide the magnetic performance needed for demanding high-power bass applications.

The motor is FEA-analyzed, optimized, and fully CNC-machined to support precise construction and consistent performance.

A massive 3.5-inch, 8-layer high-temperature aluminum voice coil, wound on a black anodized aluminum former, provides the foundation for the NEO Elite's impressive power handling.

This heavy-duty voice coil is designed to handle demanding amplifier power while supporting the extreme cone movement required for powerful low-frequency reproduction.

The combination of neodymium motor technology, precision machining, and a high-performance voice coil makes the NEO Elite a serious choice for enthusiasts looking to build an extreme bass system.

Long-Roll Cone. Massive Suspension. Crushing Lows.

The NEO Elite 3.5 features DC Audio's upgraded LR cone and long-roll surround assembly, designed for extreme excursion and powerful low-frequency output.

The reinforced kraft-pulp fiber cone provides the strength needed for demanding high-output applications, while the wide long-throw foam surround supports extended cone movement.

A heavy-duty 10-inch outside-diameter spaced spider suspension provides the control needed during aggressive high-excursion operation.

Extra-heavy-duty sewn tinsel leads and 8 AWG oxygen-free copper direct leads provide durable electrical connections for demanding high-power installations.

All of these components are mounted to DC Audio's signature black cast-aluminum frame, delivering the structural strength and clearance needed for serious bass performance.

With 34mm of Xmax, the NEO Elite is engineered to move massive amounts of air and deliver powerful, ground-pounding low frequencies.

Built for Extreme Daily Bass and SPL Performance

The DC Audio NEO Elite 3.5 is engineered for enthusiasts who want maximum low-frequency performance from a high-power, long-excursion subwoofer.

While it's capable of serious SPL performance, the NEO Elite is especially well suited for high-power ground-pounder applications where deep bass, extended excursion, and durability are priorities.

Recommended Enclosure Volumes

Ported Enclosures: Recommended for enthusiasts looking to maximize low-frequency output from a properly designed and tuned enclosure.

Custom SPL Enclosures: For competition-focused installations, enclosure volume, port area, tuning frequency, vehicle acoustics, and amplifier power should all be considered when designing for maximum output.

Recommended enclosure volumes are starting points. Final enclosure design should be matched to your vehicle, amplifier power, and intended application. Account for driver displacement, bracing, and port displacement when calculating gross enclosure volume.
