True bass from TruAudio

It's true: TruAudio really offer true sound! And they are not OK with just releasing all sorts of good looking speakers meant for your in-wall or in-ceiling installations - they know that you need bass and they'll give you plenty of it.

The new SUB series from TruAudio speak directly from their commercial names and have been developed to crush your crave for bass once and for all. The new series sports three models, based on how low in the ground you want to go together with your house as you pump the bass really hard: the smallest
woofer delivers 100W of growl and thud while the biggest sub blasts some unmerciful 200W.

The new cellulose composite materials used for the woofer cones are said to withstand tremendous abuse as TruAudio claims each of the drivers is benchmarked prior to actually being mounted in the box. The transformers have also been changed to heavier duty ones which also produce less heat and better current so the woofers would go well either at roaring levels or deliver smooth, rolling bass even at low levels.

All three new models sport the same architecture with two large bass reflex ports on the front panel and this means more good things coming from such an idea: more air can move in and out the bass box at thundering volumes and the potential positioning-restrictions posed by similar gear are over: users can now fully exploit their creativity inside their homes while not being forced anymore to "create" rooms according to the "politically correct" placement of sound sources. Besides this, the woofers have beautifully rounded corners and will surely integrate perfectly in any décor.

Each model sports line level RCA inputs, speaker level, LFE, auto-on/on/off selection, and phase control commands. The pricing is more than affordable: the 100W, 8", 37 - 150 Hz sells for $350, the 150W, 10", 33-150 HZ for $450 and the 12", 200W, 30-150Hz as well can be yours for $650.
