This powered subwoofer system is comprised of a 600W dynamic peak power amplifier driving a 15" Black Widow® woofer (1568) with a Kevlarimpregnated cone.

Balanced inputs provided to the preamp/EQ electronics are one 1/4" RTS phone jack, one male XLR and one combo female XLR and 1/4" RTS phone jack, all connected in parallel. The power amplifier providing the amplification is a low-distortion unit providing 300W RMS into the nominal 8 ohm load of the woofer. The amplifier was selected for its reliability and superb bass punch. The amplifier features our patented DDTcompression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.

Multiple molded-in handles provide ease of transport, while multiple mounting points (top and bottom) for the Peavey Versamount70 and a molded-in stand adapter provide for maximum utility.
