Features
Ultra-sleek, shallow subwoofer
No space for a big subwoofer enclosure? At only 3 1/8" (7.8 cm) deep, the XS-AW8 powered subwoofer fits in tight spaces in your vehicle for powerful bass sound throughout the car.
Optimally designed driver unit and low-resonance cast-aluminum enclosure
To reproduce powerful bass sound from its compact dimensions, the slim enclosure is paired with a unique rigid subwoofer diaphragm. The built-in amplifier also integrates a sturdy heat-sink to protect the driver unit and amp without introducing unwanted vibrations and harmonic distortion.
Supplied wired remote commander
A supplied wired remote commander allows you to adjust the subwoofer volume from the driver's seat.
High level input/Audio line input
What if you're using a factory radio that doesn't have pre-amp outputs? Simply connect the speaker outputs of your receiver to the high-level inputs. When pre-out audio signals are available from the receiver, connect them to the CH1(R) and CH2(L) terminals. Compatibility with up to 5-V pre-outs means you can utilize higher voltage audio input for a clean audio signal and less external noise.
