The RSW-10 matches a 10-inch front-firing cerametallic passive radiator and a 10-inch rear-firing active driver to a high-output BASH amplifier, generating enormous sound from a surprisingly compact cabinet. The active driver's large magnet structure and high-temperature voice coil enable it to deliver rich, clean, pulse-pounding bass to below 30 Hz.

The RSW-10's low-pass crossover has an exceptionally steep 36dB/octave slope, a continuously variable frequency control, and a phase switch, facilitating smooth speaker/subwoofer integration. A bypass switch allows direct connection to the subwoofer amplifier for use with the crossover built into an A/V preamp or receiver. The RSW-10's level control is mounted on the side of the cabinet for easy access. Input is line-level via a stereo pair of RCA jacks; another pair of RCA jacks provides unfiltered output for connection to a second subwoofer or other component. An auto power feature enables the subwoofers to turn on and off automatically.

What Is Dynamic Power?
Dynamic power indicates the actual power this amplifier will deliver to the woofer under normal operating conditions. While the FTC power rating indicates power available on a continuous, long-term basis, subwoofers do not rely on that type of power. Instead, the amplifier is called upon to deliver large, short-term peaks of power to be able to support the wide dynamics required by today's digital music and movie formats.
