Karma Mobile Audio Aspect 3 | 3" Kevlar Midrange

Karma Mobile Audio Aspect 3 Aspect Series 3" Kevlar Midrange | Sold as a Pair 3" Midrange Kevlar Cone 100W @ 300Hz 4 Ohm Free-Air Aspect Series The Heart of a 3-Way The Karma Mobile Audio Aspect 3 is a 3 inch Kevlar midrange designed by speaker engineer Dr. Rishi S. Gurbani. It is the piece that turns a 2-way front stage into a 3-way, and it is sold as a pair. The midrange is where voices and most instruments live. Giving that band its own dedicated driver is the single biggest step up in clarity and staging you can make. The Aspect 3 lets your midbass stop straining for the high notes and lets your tweeter come in higher and cleaner. Built to Perform The Aspect 3 carries the Karma material set into a compact, low-mass midrange tuned for detail and easy placement. Kevlar Cone A stiff, light Kevlar cone with a laser-etched aluminum-magnesium dustcap keeps the vocal band clean and natural without harshness. Low Moving Mass At just 2.3 grams of moving mass, the cone starts and stops fast, which is exactly what the midrange band needs for detail and speed. Integrated Butyl Surround A one-piece butyl surround and gasket seals to the baffle or pod and holds up to years of heat cycling far better than foam. Flexible Mounting It runs free-air or in a sealed pod as small as 0.5 liters, so it fits a pillar, a dash, a door, or a custom pod with ease. Power and Crossover The Aspect 3 is a midrange and must be high-passed. Run it filtered the way it is designed to run and it stays clean and protected. Behind the recommended 300 Hz 24 dB-per-octave high-pass, the Aspect 3 handles 100 watts of clean power. That is the usable figure with the crossover in place, set by how far the cone can travel before it reaches its mechanical limit. In real use a midrange only draws 10 to 25 watts to play loud, so this rating is about headroom and protection, not a target. Cross it at 300 Hz and let the midbass carry everything below. This rating assumes clean, low-distortion power. A clipping or distorted amplifier sends harmonic energy into the voice coil that a small midrange was never rated to take, and distortion, not wattage, is what destroys these drivers. Do not run a cheap or underpowered amp into clipping. Invest in a clean amplifier with honest power and headroom and set the gains correctly. In a 3-way, high-pass the Aspect 3 at 300 Hz and hand off to your tweeter around 3,000 to 3,500 Hz. Its 85 dB sensitivity sits right next to the Karma midbass drivers, so the two level-match naturally with very little adjustment. Fitment and Integration The Aspect 3 is a direct replacement for factory 3 inch speakers in dashes, doors, and pillars, and an easy build into a custom pod. It does not need a sealed box, but it does want a solid mounting surface. Flange diameter: 90.4mm. Cutout: approximately 71mm. Bolt circle: 81mm, four holes. Mounting depth: 33.7mm. Confirm against your location using the mounting drawing before install.
