Introduction

Boston Acoustics Horizon Subwoofers

Thank you for choosing Boston Acoustics. The Horizon subwoofers incorporate high-quality components that produce the
famous Boston Sound. The subwoofers are ideally suited for use in a high-quality 5.1 channel home theater or stereo music

Horizon Subwoofers are designed to literally sound as good as they look. With their elegant proles and the soft smooth
surfaces of their back cabinets, Horizon Subwoofers complement the décor of any room and oer no-compromise audio
excellence.
