I run across these 5" drivers in a expensive custom size speakers by Leon. What grabbed my attention is the size of the "dust cap" and I am curious if this is some sort of a hybrid between dome mid driver and woofer (e.g. is it more than a dust cap?).
I believe the driver is Morel CAW 538 or similar (customized for Leon, couldn't find OEM part#). The "radius" of the traditional cone is only about 1" and if I am calculating it correctly, the cap has larger surface area than the cone . I searched online but could not find any info about this design. As I am typing this, I see that the specs says 3" voice coil, so perhaps the cap is indeed a dust cap only?
