The XB8 and XB6 powered subwoofers feature large 12-inch Deep Channel woofers, BassTrac circuitry, and powerful amplifiers in vented enclosures. The XB8 has a FTC-rated 300-watt amplifier and the XB6 has a 200-watt amplifier. The XB8 and XB6 have a frequency response (+/-3dB) of 26Hz- 150Hz and 29Hz-150Hz respectively. The volume control is mounted on top of the cabinet, flush with the surface, so the top remains perfectly flat.
