Know before you buy
Yes, this subwoofer is specifically engineered for compact installations. With a mounting depth of only 3-1/4 inches, it is designed to fit in areas where traditional, deeper subwoofers cannot be accommodated.
For optimal performance, this subwoofer is designed for a sealed enclosure with a recommended volume of 0.6 cubic feet. This setup helps maintain the tight, accurate bass response the driver is known for.
The subwoofer is rated for 400 Watts RMS and can handle up to 1300 Watts of peak power. Ensure your amplifier is matched to these specifications to avoid damaging the voice coil.
This dual-layer construction combines the rigidity of Aramid fiber with the self-damping properties of cellulose. This results in a cone that is lightweight and stiff, allowing for faster, more precise bass reproduction without unwanted distortion.
Because this is a single 4-ohm voice coil subwoofer, you should pair it with a mono amplifier that is stable at 4 ohms. Always check your amplifier's power output ratings at 4 ohms to ensure it provides sufficient power.
Hi-Res Audio certification indicates that this subwoofer is capable of reproducing a wider frequency range with greater accuracy than standard speakers. You can expect a more detailed, dynamic, and clear sound profile across your music.
