Concert quality subs with drivers of at least 18 inches are already beasts. So, what the hell, we might as well put the power in the box, too. Truth is, we decided to do a Buyers Guide on powered subs and realized that unless we were prepared to publish it in book form we would need a way to further limit submissions.

We thought the 18-inch driver would do it, but as you can see below, there are still plenty of flavors out there to choose from. Some are “specialists” providing sub-bass and power and nothing else. Others seek to be the foundation of a system and provide DSP, crossover and sometimes even power for top boxes all in one box. Whatever you need, there is something out there to fill that void with a whole buncha thump.
