Abstract
This invention is directed to a loudspeaker having a lead wire management system including guides located at both the voice coil and the frame of the speaker. Each guide is angled allowing them to control the arc at which the lead wires extend between the voice coil and frame, and rounded edges of the guides relieve stress on the lead wire joint connections during motion of the voice coil.
