The suspension system keeps the coil centered in the gap and provides a restoring clout to make the speaker cone return http://www.gracedigitalaudio.com/lp/outdoor-wireless-speakers/outdoor-wireless-speakers.html to a neutral scene after moving. A exemplary suspension system consists of two parts: the "spider", which connects the diaphragm or sound coil to the frame and provides the majority of the restoring force; and the "surround", which helps center the coil/cone assembly and allows free pistonic changing aligned with the magnetic gap.

Full range drivers often employ an additional cone called a whizzer: a small, light cone attached to the joint between the mutter coil and the primary cone. The whizzer cone extends the high frequency response of the driver and broadens its alpine frequency directivity, which would otherwise be greatly narrowed due to the outer diameter cone material failing to keep up with the central shout coil at cutting edge frequencies.
