    The 13.5" drivers of the model are custom-made by SVS and feature a (nearly) 40-pound dual-magnet motor. SVS has reduced lightness and rigidity, and added the ability to handle the 1,200 watts that the amplifier outputs. The cases are made of two-layer MDF with internal fixation to suppress resonances.
