Claim:
An audio speaker comprising: a frame having an interior bottom surface with a side portion extending upward from, and surrounding, said interior bottom surface, said side portion terminating in an exterior edge of a uniform first height above said interior bottom surface with said exterior edge defining an opening into the frame having a first size and shape, and an interior mounting point of an inner surface of said side portion there around a first selected distance between said interior bottom surface and said exterior edge; a motor including a magnet assembly with an air gap formed therein mounted in direct contact to the interior bottom surface of the frame and a bobbin having an outer surface of a first diameter with a first end with a voice coil wound thereon located in said air gap, and a second end extending out of said air gap wherein said magnet assembly has a second height that is less than said first height, said motor has a second size and shape that is smaller than said first size and shape; a cone having an outer edge and an inner edge, and a top surface and a bottom surface, with said inner edge defining a centrally located hole sized to fit around and attach to said outer surface of said bobbin at or below the second end of the bobbin, from the inner edge the cone radiates outward a second selected distance where said cone turns downward forming a downward extension pointing toward the interior bottom surface of the frame with the outer edge of the cone at the end of the downward extension with said outer edge of the cone defining a third size of a shape similar to said first shape, and said third size and shape is smaller than said first size and shape of the frame and larger than said second size and shape of the motor; a first flexible suspension connected between said interior mounting point of the frame and a selected connection point on said downward extension of the cone; and a second flexible suspension connected between said exterior edge of the frame and the top surface of the cone at a third selected distance from the inner edge of the cone wherein said third selected distance is less than or equal to said second selected distance.
