sunfire_super-jr-subwoofer.jpgHave you ever seen Paris Hilton carrying around one of those little miniature-breed dogs that fit disgustingly in a $6,000 Prada purse and actually likes to go shopping on Rodeo and thought, "Who the hell would want a measly dog that small?" Now apply that concept to subwoofers and the idea seems to all of a sudden to make more sense, doesn't it? Sunfire's True Subwoofer Super Junior is the audio example of, "It's not the size of the pencil, it's how it writes," because this little Bob Carver gem comes packed with the same 1500-watt tracking downconverter digital amp that is found in the 11-inch-squared Sunfire True Subwoofer EQ woofer, although the Sunfire True Subwoofer Super Junior is a mere nine inches cubed.

Priced at $949, the Sunfire True Subwoofer Super Junior is designed and marketed to the gamer market and desktop audio systems, as well as home theaters that are in smaller rooms. In many ways, the Sunfire True Subwoofer Super Junior is the most impressive of the Sunfire True subwoofer line. While not capable of the same sick volume output as its two bigger brothers, this small woofer doesn't act shy when you crank it up. Shoot-'em-up scenes have balls. Depth charges (think U-571) plunge low in your room, despite having only nine inches of cabinet (squared) to work with. The Bob Carver Sunfire tracking downcoverter amp is at the center of the performance that can send the robust yet tiny woofer driver moving like it's channeling James Brown live at The Apollo.

Known for making great components and engineering marvels that baffle the audio industry in both performance and value, Bob has done it again with the True Subwoofer Super Jr. If you have a modest home theater system, and your speakers are not giving you that deeper bas output or volume, this subwoofer will give it to you.

Cleanly and easily. And its small size, will help greatly in placement in a smaller theater room. And your wife will be happy as well. A well thought out and designed sub. Why not pick one up for Valentines Day. Then you can really hear Barry White or Teddy Pendergrass, the way you should!!
