Everyone loves bass !
That is exactly why we have created the T-Sub-AX15B - our all-new new 700 w Continuous,
1400 w Peak 15” active subwoofer.
The internal Class D amplifier delivers huge output power into the custom quad-layer
15” Wharfedale Pro LF driver to produce extreme subs and low end pressure into
any system.
Built for big bass, the plywood constructed cabinet is rock solid and is protected in
durable Rhino Rock paint.
You’ll not only ‘feel’ the T-Sub-AX15B, but you will also see it! A new illumated WP logo
badge subtly glows and adds to the overall on-stage “power” of the new T-Sub.
T-Sub-AX15B is the perfect companion for a Typhon, a Titan or a Tourus Wharfedale Pro
active loudspeaker.
Hold on to your socks!
T-Sub-AX15B is going to blow them off!
