Know before you buy
The patented inertially-balanced topology cancels out internal vibrations by firing drivers in opposing directions. This keeps the cabinet remarkably still, even when playing at high volumes, which results in cleaner, more precise bass.
Yes, the SuperSub XXL is designed for both. It features dedicated LFE inputs for home theater effects and stereo line-level inputs for two-channel music systems, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into any setup.
While 12 Hz is largely below the range of human hearing, it is well within the range of physical sensation. This ultra-low extension provides the visceral, room-shaking impact that you feel in your chest during intense movie scenes.
Despite its massive output, the SuperSub XXL is surprisingly compact for its performance class, measuring roughly 20 inches wide and 18 inches high. Its inertially-balanced design also means it won't 'walk' across the floor, making it easier to place discreetly.
It uses a 1,600-watt Class D digital amplifier. This high-power design ensures the subwoofer has plenty of headroom to handle fast, dynamic transients without distortion or lag.
If you are using the LFE input, your home theater receiver will handle the crossover management. For stereo setups, you will need to ensure your preamp or integrated amplifier has a subwoofer output or a way to manage the low-frequency signal sent to the unit.
