Know before you buy
The Goliath XD uses rapid bass pressure changes and an 8th-order alignment to ensure the output is tight and articulate. By focusing on speed and precision rather than just raw volume, it eliminates the lingering, muddy drone typical of lesser subwoofers.
The Goliath XD is equipped with dual XLR balanced inputs. These are preferred for high-end audio setups to ensure a clean, noise-free signal path from your processor to the subwoofer.
Passive radiators allow the Goliath XD to reach extremely deep frequencies without the audible turbulence or 'chuffing' noise often created by air moving through a port. This results in cleaner, more accurate low-end extension.
The Goliath XD measures approximately 18 x 40 x 19 inches and weighs 190 pounds. Due to its significant mass and size, you should plan for a permanent placement, as it is not designed to be moved frequently.
Yes, the Goliath XD includes built-in room tuning capabilities. This feature allows you to optimize the subwoofer's performance to match the specific acoustic characteristics of your listening environment.
The system features dual 1,000-watt ICEpower amplifier modules, providing a total of 2,000 watts of power. This high-efficiency amplification ensures the subwoofer can hit its maximum output of 130 dB with minimal distortion.
