Inspire3 - 3" Wideband

       The Karma Inspire 3 is a high-performance 3 inch wideband driver engineered for demanding car audio applications. Designed to exceed expectations in both build quality and sound performance, the Inspire 3 features a carefully chosen combination of materials and motor topology to deliver clean, dynamic sound with impressively low distortion.

       A one-piece butyl rubber surround and coated paper cone provide excellent damping and natural tonality. The magnesium dustcap and titanium former ensure mechanical stability at high output levels, while the pure copper voice coil and integrated copper shorting ring significantly reduce inductance and distortion, especially in the upper midrange and treble regions.

       At its core, the Inspire 3 utilizes a powerful neodymium motor housed in a rigid cast aluminum basket, offering strong magnetic control and precise movement even in compact spaces. Despite its high Q design, it performs well in small enclosures or even in free air, making it a great option for OEM dash or A pillar locations where space and off axis performance are key considerations.

       As part of Karma Mobile Audio’s flagship Inspire line, the Inspire 3 even sits above the Allure series in both refinement and overall performance. This is not just another wideband driver. It is a top tier component for those who want accurate, engaging sound without compromise.

       This driver is excellent to use in applications where a tweeter will not be used, as it can cover up to 20khz with ease. It will be perfect for custom installations, or even as drop-in  replacements in systems that utilize the OEM wideband speaker locations of cars that do not feature tweeters.

Karma Inspire 3 Wideband – Exceptional SQ Upgrade

"The Karma Inspire 3 widebands were the single most transformative upgrade I have made to my system. Installed in the dash and crossed at ~200 Hz, they now handle all vocals and have replaced the need for a separate tweeter - much to my surprise. The improvement in realism and comfort is immediate. Where my previous setup was detailed but fatiguing, the Inspire 3s are smooth, natural, and effortless. Upper mids are perfectly controlled — guitars sound full instead of edgy, and vocals are clear without any glare. I can now listen louder for longer with zero strain. Imaging is outstanding. Vocals lock to the center of the dash with convincing height and depth, and instruments separate cleanly in space. These are true reference grade speakers that are equally impressive on delicate acoustic tracks or cranked hard Rock music - whatever you throw at them. Carson and the Resonix team are also the best in there is in the business - period. They support their customers with professionalism, expertise, and urgency. Highly recommend!"

Awesome Speaker

"I have these in a stock 4Runner dash location and they're ridiculously good. All the treble response you need and very good tonality and mid-range clarity. One of very few widebands that you don't feel like you're missing out by not having a tweeter"
