Alumapro began in 1994 as a division of Syntronic
Instruments, a leading maker of precision magnetics.
Alumapro's first product was a metal cone musical
instrument for bass guitar. After several years, the
technology that developed spawned a line of car audio
speakers. At the time, metal cone speakers were a
novelty and Alumapro's debut of ultra-rigid cones and
vivid colors started a new trend in the industry.
Alumapro embraced new features such as Santoprene
surrounds, Nomex suspensions, and Ferrofluid cooling.
In addition, Syntronic's military liaisons ushered in
technology to develop the highly successful C.A.P.
series.
