Goldwood Sound 6.5" Woofer GW-6028 8Ω 170W Replacement

This replacement driver combines a stiff, lightweight poly-mica cone with a durable butyl rubber surround and a 20oz magnet to deliver focused low-frequency response for pro audio, DJ setups, car installs, and studio monitors. Engineered in the USA, the GW-6028 balances efficiency, power handling, and mounting convenience so you can upgrade or repair 6.5" speaker systems without changing enclosure geometry.

How does the GW-6028 perform for live sound and DJ setups?

The GW-6028 is tuned for clear mid-bass reproduction and dynamic handling, making it suitable for portable PA cabinets and DJ speaker systems. With a 89dB sensitivity and a frequency range that reaches down into the low midrange, it fills the role of a reliable low-frequency transducer in compact enclosures.

• 90W RMS / 170W peak power for stage-level volume headroom
• 29–4800 Hz frequency response for tight bass and extended midrange
• 89 dB SPL efficiency helps reduce amplifier strain

What design features improve durability and sound control?

Durability comes from a stamped steel frame, a 20oz magnet with bumper plate, and a butyl rubber surround that resists fatigue and environmental wear. An aluminum voice coil and vented pole piece aid heat dissipation so the driver maintains consistent performance under high power.

• Butyl rubber surround for long life and controlled excursion
• 1.5" aluminum voice coil and vented pole for better thermal handling
• Stamped steel basket and bumper plate protect the motor assembly

Will the GW-6028 fit my existing speaker cabinet and how easy is installation?

The GW-6028 is sized to replace most common 6.5" drivers with modest mounting depth, minimizing enclosure modification. Its overall 6.5" diameter and 5.75" cutout compatibility make it a drop-in option for many retrofit and repair projects.

• Overall size: 6.5" with a 5.75" recommended cutout
• Mounting depth: 3" for shallow to medium-depth cabinets
• Standard terminal layout for quick wiring and polarity checks

Which applications benefit most from this woofer?

The GW-6028 was built as a professional-grade transducer suited to multiple audio roles, from fixed installations to mobile rigs. Its combination of cone material, surround, and magnetic motor provides a balanced voice for music playback and amplified instruments.

• Pro DJ and portable PA speakers needing reliable bass response
• Studio monitors or nearfield speakers that require accurate low-end
• Car audio upgrades and professional karaoke systems
