Ground Zero Midrange Madness

It’s all very well having bullet tweeters that can kill wasps at a hundred yards but without the midrange transducers to keep up with the sheer crazed levels of highs from a compression driven diaphragm playing around a bullet, you are all tizz and no intelligibility.
But Ground Zero, purveyors of bass that breaks bones and ripples the very sod, as well as bullets that bite, have a barely-tamed professional audio midrange. Well, it’s practically full-range as it goes up to 16kHz. What that means, is that two of these and a pair of bullets and you’ll have the equivalent acoustic power in your doors of four sets of normal components, possibly more.
Absurdly efficient too, we gatherhere’s the skinny from the Car Audio Direct (importers’) site:
