Custom Theatre
CT SW12
Spectacular explosions and high-speed car crashes will never sound as gloriously punchy, life-like and rich in detail as
they will from our Custom Theatre subwoofers. Powered by a separate SA1000 amplifier, the CT SW12 slots neatly into a
home theatre cabinetry and uses a uniquely rigid mushroom diaphragm construction to deliver unparalleled bass effects.
With its powerful 12 inch paper/Kevlar® drive unit, the CT SW12 delivers the maximum explosive punch for your money.

Listening is believing
This new 2U rack mount Class D subwoofer amplifier is based upon ICEpower® technology and is purposely designed
to drive the CT subwoofers. This Class D amplifier is incredibly powerful and stable and will allow the CT subwoofers
to produce fantastic amounts of tight slamming bass. The SA1000 allows for up to two of the same subwoofers to be
driven simultaneously.
