Introduction
Boston Acoustics Horizon Subwoofers
Thank you for choosing Boston Acoustics. The HPS 8Wi Horizon wireless subwoofer incorporates high-quality components that produce the famous Boston sound. It is ideally suited for use in a high-quality 5.1 channel home theater or stereo music system. The HPS 8Wi is capable of impressive deep bass and high output from a remarkably compact enclosure.

The benefit: the bass stays clean and strong at any listening level.
The HPS 8Wi also provides a wireless audio signal connection. This minimizes the number of cables in the system and allows for easy placement anywhere in the room. You just need to plug it into an AC outlet.
