Built with an 8\" polypropylene driver, butyl rubber surround, and an integrated rear dust shield, this in-wall driver is designed for reliable performance and clean installation. Because it is a passive subwoofer, it pairs with an external subwoofer amplifier (OSD recommends the SMP200) so you can match power and crossover settings to your room and system preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much bass can this in-wall subwoofer deliver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IWS8 is rated for 150 watts handling and reproduces extended low frequencies that reinforce movie effects and the lower range of music.
