Live-Wall Subwoofer: The first high performance hidden sub!

Coming this November: the greatest advance in subwoofer technology: a completely hidden subwoofer with real subwoofer performance.

This is a real subwoofer.

The LWSub is a direct radiating, point-source hidden speaker system. Using the same technology (and visual “trick”) of the acclaimed LW1218, the LWSub provides 105 dB of bass to 25 Hz. That’s really remarkable!

Other manufacturers of “hidden” speakers simply mount a woofer in the wall and try to play it as loud as possible to provide bass. In essence, they’ve created a speaker within a box — and you can hear the deficiencies immediately.

In contrast, the LWSub has impact, punch, and real musicality. Add one to a pair of LW1218 satellites and you have a hidden full-range, musical audio system.

Use for small to mid-sized theaters.

Putting a bedroom system together? Use one LWSub. Doing a mixed media room? Use one LWSub for every 3,000 ft³ of space in the listening area.

Installation requires the LWSub Backbox.

With so much bass energy, the LWSub needs a backbox firmly attached to studs. The 45″ tall LWSub box fits between 16″ on center studs. Installation is straightforward: Mount the box to the studs. Install the drywall. Cut a hole for the speaker. Mount the speaker. Tape, mud, paint.

You can use hot or cold mud, plaster, even wallpaper.
