Know before you buy
No, this is a passive subwoofer. You will need to pair it with a separate external subwoofer amplifier to power the unit.
Yes, the PRO-800SW is designed for in-ceiling installation. It requires a 4.25-inch cutout diameter and utilizes a flexible port tube, making it versatile enough to fit within most standard ceiling joist configurations.
The dual voice coil allows for greater flexibility in wiring and impedance matching with your amplifier. This ensures you can optimize the power delivery from your specific audio system setup.
The subwoofer includes both round and square magnetic grilles that sit flush against the ceiling. Because they are paintable, you can match them to your ceiling color to make the speaker virtually disappear into your decor.
Yes, the durable MDF enclosure is a core component of the bandpass design. It ensures the subwoofer delivers precise, controlled bass while protecting the internal components from debris within the ceiling cavity.
The PRO-800SW handles 125W RMS and up to 300W peak power. You should choose an external amplifier that can comfortably provide power within this range to achieve optimal performance.
