Sunfire_TrueSub_Sig_EQ_review.gifSunfire's Bob Carver is the one person most credited for creating the small subwoofer market in the 1990s and, while the patent didn't hold up, the brand and category sure did. Sunfire's True Subwoofer EQ Signature at $2,195 might be a mouthful of words, but its 13-inches-squared size is a sight for sore eyes for people looking for big subwoofer sound from a relatively small box.

Additional Resources
The key to all of Bob Carver's subwoofer designs is his amazing tracking downcoverter amp that can coolly and cleanly (and reportedly) output peaks of 2700 watts of power, driving the living snot out of a 10-inch driver to levels that top 116 dB. Take it from me: that is really loud. While the woofer doesn't go a low as the gigantic woofers on the market, its 30 Hertz performance is pretty deep, considering just how loud it will play.

The latest version of Sunfire's top subwoofer comes complete with an auto-set-up configuration that helps the bass-freak consumer in all of us to get the most out of the woofer in each of our rooms. Room acoustics and room interaction is as big a factor in getting a successful low-end reproduction from your system as the woofer itself and Sunfire has made it easy for you to make all of the needed adjustments without a degree in acoustics.

There is really nothing to say negative about Carver. It probably does not help, that I`m a big fan. And why not, this guy has been able to create real world, excellent audio products, that not only rival the big names, but at a price, most of us can afford. So, this new sub certainly continues on this theme. And quite frankly, especially during these economic times, companies like say Sunfire, Anthem, Adcom, just to name a few, may see a rise in overall sales due to this.
Who said you have to spend big dollars to get great sound.
