Sample details
| Retail price | Estimated $650 |
| Acquired from | Us :) |
| Condition | Brand new, hand made pre-production prototype |
| Break-in | Standard 20 to 500 Hz band-limited pink noise until T/S stabilized, then fully cooled; testing performed after cool-down |
| Intake checks | Visual inspection passed; small-signal T/S check passed; functional sweep clean |
| Test date | November 2025 |
| Notes |
This is just a pre-production prototype. Since this is not a production unit, I will not be doing a full write up, but will at least show the scores and the images. The full write ups will be done for production units when they are tested. |

We set out to create the very best line of subwoofers for when the requirements are: Small sealed enclosure with ultra low and authoritative frequency extension, extremely low distortion, all with a relatively shallow mounting depth. To summarize the end results, we are smashing that goal based on the data from the prototypes.

Not applicable, but I think it goes without saying.
Max output at 20Hz in 0.707 QTC sealed enclosure (70% BL Xmax) (anechoic simulation)
96dB - takes 400 watts in a 0.65 cubic foot enclosure to hit the 17.1mm 70% BL xmax at 20Hz
Max output at 20Hz in manufacturer-recommended sealed (anechoic simulation)
96dB - takes 500 watts in a 0.5 cubic foot enclosure to hit the 17.1mm 70% BL xmax at 20Hz
