#29 Focal Sub Air: $800.00 Amazon $800.00 eBay

Pros: A slim, light 8 inch subwoofer with a side port, only 16 cm deep, made to add bass without a full size cabinet. Independent CEA-2010 testing records 109.0 dB through 40-80 Hz. The ported, side enclosure with 8” (203mm) driver is intended to add useful bass support without a full-size cabinet.

Cons: Without a published 20 Hz output result, deep-bass capability is less certain than its midbass figure. The 408.9H x 360.7W x 160.0D mm cabinet and 7.7 kg mass still need careful placement and calibration.

Notes: low profile (<8in)
