Features:
The Aliante is the second best subwoofer made by Phase Linear. Phase who? No I’m not talking about the Phase Linear brand that you can by at Circuit City or Best Buy. Although related they are two entirely different companies, but are owned and operated by Recoton International Holdings. This Phase Linear is a European division that had a vision of building high quality, high-end designs of speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers for the European market. They asked and were granted use of the venerable Phase Linear brand name with the intent of furthering the mark created by Bob Carver and others of the early Phase Linear brand of home audio devices from the 1970’s into today’s modern car audio industry.
The Aliante, are hand constructed using some obscure techniques compared to many modern subwoofers. They all feature a 10mm thick aluminum honeycomb sandwiched between layers of fiberglass and Kevlar to form a plat piston cone. The flat piston is attached to a cast aluminum frame by both a cotton/rubber surround and a cotton spider. The large backplate encases the triple stacked magnets and voicecoil. The backplate is machined out of heavy gauge stainless steel and features 14 1" cooling vents and two ¾" vents that circumvent the horizontal plate. Five way screw type binding posts are also machined into the backplate. Inside this visually impressive backplate features a vented magnet and motor assembly comprising of a huge 5" diameter voicecoil on an aluminum former, submerged in ferrofluid for superior voicecoil cooling under high power applications. Power handling is rated at 400Wrms. The Aliante 12 Limited features a larger 6" voicecoil had a quoted unlimited RMS power rating.
Other specifications also impress as the Aliante features an Fs of 19 Hz, 88 dB (1W@1M) 91 dB (2.83V) sensitivity, Vas of 165.2 L and a low Mms of 0.240 Kg. With a moderately high Efficiency Bandwidth Product (EBP) the sub will work very well in small closed, vented or bandbass enclosures.
Fit and finish was excellent as one would expect from a hand built design; all glued seams were neat and tidy. I was torn as to what the most appealing feature was at this point between the handsome backplate assembly and the unique flat piston.
