It's certainly not a dust cap. A dust cap moves with the cone. A phase plug is fixed to the magnet assembly and basket, and does not move. **Q: What's the stated frequency response?** A: Spec: http://www.daytonaudio.com/index.php/rs100-4-4-reference-full-range-driver-4-ohm.html Impedance 4 ohms Sensitivity 87.5 dB @ 2.83V/1m Frequency Response 80 - 20,000 Hz Voice Coil Diameter 25 mm Magnet Weight -- DC Resistance (Re) 3 ohms Voice Coil Inductance (Le) 0.28 mH @ 1 kHz Resonant Frequency (Fs) 84.8 Hz **Q: Is this price per speaker?** A: Price as shown for each speaker (plus shipping if applicable). ♫ **Q: What is the exact minimum and maximum width of the face in inches?** A: If your asking about the dimensions of the speaker box face, the smaller the better, to minimize reflected sound. I picked these drivers to make a full range (no crossover) transmission line. They are mounted vertically at the top of 4 Ft' long wool lined boxes, Apx. 5" square. They play into a wooden cone mounted slightly above the drivers, which creates a 360o sound-field. The boxes are slotted at the bottom rear (about the size of the cone area) which enhances the bass by using the rooms corner walls. Over the years I have built Bass Reflex, Dancing woofer pairs, Di Eppilito configurations, and Folded horns. All of which was to achieve high sound pressure levels. The goal in this case was to try to achieve an undistorted, full sound spectrum, at moderated sound levels with a single driver.. These small drivers certainly filled the bill, and I feel one would have to spend significantly more money to attain a better sound using only a full range driver. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly superb *by K***N on 23 January 2023* These things are astonishing ... but please read the Dayton data sheet before you do anything.
