I'll have to pull one to check and see what they are exactly. I
received no documentation.
I'm currently sending a full range signal to them and I don't hear any
obvious distortion. I guess I've always assumed they had a built-in
passive crossover network to filter out frequencies the driver can't
handle. They definitely don't reproduce low-level signals, though, as
there's definitely missing sound without the sub.
