Newer model: the Q Acoustics Q SUB120, ranked lower, estimated 3.8/5, released Mar 2025. See every Q Acoustics Subwoofers generation.

Pros: A sealed 12 inch subwoofer for music and movies that is easy to place in tricky rooms, now discontinued. It has a 220W RMS amplifier and measured output averages about 115dB from 40 to 80Hz, with 98dB at 20Hz and 95dB at 16Hz. A die-cast aluminum heat sink keeps the amplifier cool. The sealed design is more forgiving about placement in difficult rooms than a ported one.

Cons: Rated response starts at 28Hz, and output falls to 95dB at 16Hz, so the deepest effects are limited. At 220W RMS it has less headroom than larger or more powerful subs. It weighs 21.5kg and is about 399mm square. It is discontinued, so it can only be bought used.
