Introduction Features

Thank you for purchasing this Sunfire True Subwoofer EQ Solitaire. We hope you enjoy it and the music it makes as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you.

The big breakthrough features of the subwoofer are its uncanny track- ing downconverter, its long throw, high back-electromotive force driver, and its fully automatic room equalizer. Taken together, they provide this subwoofer with as much bass as you could get from sev- eral 15 inch drivers mounted in a cabinet the size of a small refrigerator.
