Know before you buy
While the 8-inch driver is highly capable and precise, it is best suited for small to medium-sized rooms. If you have an exceptionally large open-concept space, you may find it lacks the sheer air-moving capacity of a larger 10- or 12-inch model.
No, this is a powered subwoofer, meaning it has a built-in 200-watt amplifier. You only need to connect it to your receiver or pre-amp via a subwoofer cable.
Yes, this subwoofer is designed to be versatile. It can be integrated into almost any home audio system, provided your receiver has a dedicated subwoofer output.
The matte black finish is generally more forgiving than high-gloss surfaces, as it does not show fingerprints or light dust as easily. A simple microfiber cloth is all you need to keep it looking clean.
This model is designed to be a hybrid performer. Its 8-inch driver is quick and responsive enough to handle the nuances of music, while the 200-watt output provides enough punch to handle the low-frequency effects in film soundtracks.
