Know before you buy
The BW-20 is designed for extreme versatility. You can install it in-wall, mount it on-wall, or place it traditionally on the floor, depending on your room's layout and aesthetic preferences.
The BW-20 is a passive subwoofer that can handle up to 700 watts. You will need a separate, high-quality power amplifier to drive it, as it does not have a built-in internal amplifier.
The cabinet is specifically engineered to perform best when placed near room boundaries, such as against a wall or in a corner. This placement helps reinforce low-frequency output and provides a more seamless integration with your room's acoustics.
It excels at both. The dual 12-inch long-throw drivers provide the speed and precision required for high-end stereo music, while its 118 dB max SPL ensures the raw impact needed for demanding home theater soundtracks.
The BW-20 has a frequency response that extends down to 19 Hz. This allows it to reproduce the deepest sub-bass notes found in both cinematic effects and complex musical arrangements.
