Claim:
A thermal management system for a speaker system, comprising: a speaker frame for mounting a diaphragm of the speaker system at its upper side, and a voice coil and a magnetic circuit of the speaker system at its lower side; an air guide formed on the speaker frame for guiding air, the air guide being oriented generally in a direction between the upper side and the lower side of the speaker frame; a ventilation slit formed on the air guide which penetrates through the speaker frame for air communication; and a spider mounting ring for mounting a spider of the speaker system on the speaker frame, the spider mounting ring having a cut-out at its upper edge which positionally match the air guide when attached to the speaker frame; wherein the cut-out of the spider mounting ring is curved sharply at its upper surface and a lower edge of the spider mounting ring is gently curved in a manner substantially parallel with an inner surface of the air guide, thereby creating an air passage of directional property.
