The Timpano TPT‑DH175 SLIM is a high‑output 1″ exit phenolic‑diaphragm compression driver paired with a shallow‑depth 4″ × 4″ horn—designed for high‑frequency clarity and efficient performance in custom car-audio and pro‑audio applications.

This unit is brand new, factory sealed, and ready for installation into your vehicle or custom audio system. Its ultra‑shallow design makes it ideal for door‑pods, motorcycles, or tight installations where standard horns won’t fit.

Key Benefits

• High sensitivity of 108 dB @ 1 W/1 m ensures strong output even with modest power.
• Handles up to 250 W max power (≈ 75 W RMS) in the 8‑Ω version, giving flexibility for high‑output installations.
• Wide frequency response from about 1,400 Hz to 19,000 Hz, making it suitable for mid/high‑range duties in comp‑systems.
• Ultra‑shallow mounting depth (~ 3.60″ / 91.5 mm) allows installation in constrained spaces.

• Weight: ~1.10 lb

Installation & Compatibility

This driver + horn combo is ideal when you need crisp, high‑frequency output in a shallow profile—such as door‑pods, custom systems in tight spaces, motorcycles, or compact vehicle audio builds. Mount on a rigid surface, ensure the horn flare is unobstructed, drive with proper amplification (matching ~75 W RMS), and apply a high‑pass filter around ~1.4 kHz (12 dB/‑18 dB slope) to protect driver and optimize sound. Professional installation is recommended to ensure the best performance, accurate loading and wiring.
