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.

Overall summary

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.

Marketing materials summary

Not applicable, but I think it goes without saying.

Max output at 20Hz in 0.707 QTC sealed enclosure (70% BL Xmax) (anechoic simulation)

106.7dB - takes 2000 watts in a 1.35 cubic foot enclosure to hit the 25.9mm 70% BL xmax at 20Hz

Max output at 20Hz in manufacturer-recommended sealed (anechoic simulation)

106.7dB - takes 2050 watts in a 1.3 cubic foot enclosure to hit the 25.9mm 70% BL xmax at 20Hz
