The W 250 S is a 25 cm hi-fi woofer with a strong motor, an extended rear pole plate, a vented magnet and a 38 mm voice coil for high power handling, driving a coated paper cone on an elastic rubber surround. This 8 Ω version handles 100 W rated power, resonates at 31 Hz and has a d.c. resistance of 6.6 Ω.
Typical applications
- Three-way hi-fi speakers (bass/midrange)
- Large multi-way speaker systems

Installation and cabinet guidance
Allow a 233 mm cut-out for a frame that measures 283 mm across, with the fixing holes on a 267 mm circle for 4.8 mm screws; mark the hole positions from the driver itself before drilling. Behind the baffle allow about 112 mm of clear depth for the basket and its 120 mm magnet, with room beyond that for the terminals and the wiring.
Fit it to a rigid baffle with a continuous gasket or sealing strip between the frame and the panel, and tighten the fixings evenly and only enough to seal so the frame is not pulled out of shape. Check that the cone and the rubber surround stay clear of the grille and of any internal bracing. The driver weighs 3 kg, so brace the baffle and fix into solid material, and allow for the ±7 mm excursion limit when siting a grille.
The terminals take 4.8 x 0.8 mm blades on the positive side and 2.8 x 0.8 mm on the negative, so blade size identifies polarity. Use matching push-on connectors, observe polarity, insulate the joints and keep the wiring clear of the moving parts, and choose an amplifier or crossover suited to the 8 Ω load.
Visaton's published enclosure suggestions for this driver: 50 l bass reflex with two BR 15.34 ports (fb 43 Hz); 70 l bass reflex with two BR 15.34 ports or one BR 25.50 port cut to 7 cm (fb 39 Hz); 100 l bass reflex with two BR 15.34 ports cut to 10 cm (fb 34 Hz).
