Hi kids,
Thought you might like to know that the first two subs from the BasX series are on now on the website.

Please check out the subwoofer section of the main page to see the BasX Sub10 and Sub12.

They are part of the holiday sale and you will not believe the performance and quality they offer starting at less than $260.00 for the 200 watt 10" Sub10!!

You can own the new BasX Sub12 for less than $340.00!! Thinkt of that... a quality, 12", 300 watt, powered subwoofer from Emotiva for well under 350 bucks. Crazy!! 😜

Grab a couple of these baby's and put a smile on your bass starved face!! 😍

Enjoy!
Big Dan

Brilliant move Dan! I LIKE those prices. Can you order these from Amazon please? I have some gift cards incoming I would like to use.

Are these the sub's that were shown along side the new airmotiv passive speakers or is there an airmotiv line of subwoofers coming?

There is a line of Airmotiv Subwoofers coming soon as well.

Hate to miss this launch sale but I don't have room for a subwoofer right now

[Porscheguy]

Looks like a great value...

Congrats!

In the podcast 2 days ago, Dan said the Airmotiv subs would be on the site today. Are they going to be there, or did that get delayed?

[beardedalbatross]

When is the 8-inch going online? I need to look at prices and specs so I can come up with scenarios to buy them in my imagination.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Look forward to checking them out once they are up.

Thanks Emotiva for the extra pictures, more the merrier!

Pretty schmick internals at this price point

Wow, HDF construction. Last time I was building a sub box I was looking for HDF and I couldn't find large, thick sheets of it. Must be nice to be in the business

So someone will certainly ask...WTH is up with the BasX subs arriving before the Airmotiv subs?

The answer...is me. At least partially. I took my sweet time on finalizing the Airmotiv subs, making sure cabinet tuning, driver excursion, and limiting were optimized to a fare-thee-well, to make sure we really deliver a value-leading product worthy of respect from even the more seasoned subwoofer critics out there. Along the way we devloped a custom two-stage limiter and added a soft-clipping input design to the amp. So it took a bit longer to get them to production than we expected. Early development on the BasX subs began in the springtime, just after AXPONA, but there are fewer critical variables to play with in the design of the BasX subs (owing to a simpler design), so they were finished much earlier than expected. They're excellent subs in their own right as a value-priced offering, with special folded slot-port cabinet designs that carefully manage the airflow in the bend of the port to minimize turbulence and port noise, and the outer edges of the port are also flared. The amps are all Class-D with the features you expect, and they make plenty of power. They compare favorably to similar products by names like Polk and Klipsch, and even SVS. There is also an 8" 150W BasX sub model incoming that will really surprise people.

So why choose one line of subs over the other? The BasX subs play loud, and they play quite low enough for exciting home theater effects, but the upcoming Airmotiv subwoofers have several dB more undistorted output at the lowest frequencies, and they are just a shade more dynamic as well. They have beefier drivers, use heavier cabinets, and feature brawnier amplifiers than the BasX subs. Whichever sub you choose, you won't go wrong, since you're getting a whole lot of sub for your money either way, and the BasX subs certainly pair nicely with the Airmotiv passive speakers. But the Airmotiv subs take things to another level entirely, and they will prove to be more than worth the wait.

So the next question will probably be, do you want the 10" or 12"? The 12" model plays big and deep with lots of bottom-end impact, so that would be my choice for home theater. The 10" model plays loud and nicely deep, and is very punchy in the midbass, so it would be my choice for a music-oriented system. And when the 8" model arrives, that would be my choice for desktop systems, bedrooms, and smaller living rooms, particularly with the upcoming BasX satellite and LCR-style speakers.

Regarding the use of HDF, you can be more choosy when you can order pallet-loads of panel stock, like our factory can.

Enjoy,

Rory

This is an award winning thread IMHO!!!

Thanks!

I don't need another sub.... but reading Rory's post just sold me one.

Probably going to wait for the Airmotiv subs.

Thanks Rory

BLASHPHEMER!!! NEVER, and I do mean NEVER say you don't "need" something in either audio or computing. Another sub is like - crucial to your personal existence.
