Same family: the Aperion Audio Bravus II 8D (smaller subwoofer, estimated 2.6/5) and the Aperion Audio Bravus II 10D (smaller subwoofer, ranked lower, estimated 2.9/5). See every Aperion Audio Bravus generation.
Pros: A compact 12 inch subwoofer with dual passive radiators, a high gloss finish and a long driver warranty. The 12-inch driver works with dual 12-inch passive radiators in a cabinet about 15.5 inches on a side, and measured output reaches 114.3dB average from 40 to 80Hz. It has a 650W RMS amplifier and a 10-year driver warranty. Its measurements compare favorably with the JL Audio Fathom f110 at a lower price.
Cons: Output falls off steeply in the deepest octave, with 103.2dB at 25Hz and only 90.0dB at 20Hz, so it is not for the lowest movie effects. At 28.1 kg and about 43 cm tall it is heavy for a 12-inch sub. It costs over a thousand dollars, which is a lot for a sub whose extension stops near 22Hz.
