Pros: Independent CEA-2010 testing (2 ports open) records 107.8 dB at 20 Hz and 117.6 dB through 40-80 Hz. Variable tuning via dual 4” down-firing ports lets the 15” driver reach 15Hz in Max Extension mode or 18Hz in Max Output mode. Extremely low distortion until the highest drive levels.

Cons: The tall 29.5” cabinet has an unusual footprint compared to squatter subs in this class.

How it compares: Just above it: Premier Acoustics PA-150 - $800 more. Just below it: Monoprice Monolith M-210 - $101 more.
