The Enclosure
The stylish vented enclosure provides heart thumping bass and in-room extension to below 40 Hz. With adjustable tuning capability, this kit can be dialed in to match your system’s needs. This passive subwoofer takes up less than 1 square foot of floor space but still has the capability to make the perfect match for most small bookshelf speakers.
The locally sourced CNC-cut knock down enclosure is constructed of 3/4" MDF and is designed to be easily assembled with basic wood working tools. The integrated legs elevate the enclosure to provide ample clearance and breathing room for the driver even in thick carpet. The sleek design includes round overs on each vertical corner making it easy to finish the enclosure to fit into any décor.
The Driver
Dayton Audio's rugged DCS165-4 6-1/2" subwoofer has all of the performance-enhancing attributes you would expect from a larger high-output subwoofer. With a vented pole piece and 4 ohm, 4-layer voice coil, this driver can handle up 100 watts RMS. The non-pressed paper cone is reinforced with Kevlar to increase stiffness, which promotes linear travel through the limits of its excursion. In addition, the pole piece includes a copper cap that keeps inductance to a minimum.
The DCS165-4 driver is ideal for use in small multimedia speakers, portable speakers, or even automotive systems where space is at a minimum.
The Amplifier
The straightforward features make the Lepai LP210PA extremely easy to connect and setup. Input is handled through stereo RCA connectors. For the power outputs, there is a Phoenix connector on the back of the amplifier to connect directly to your subwoofer driver, along with binding posts on the front of the plate for simple connection to a pair of separate satellite speakers.
The adjustable subwoofer volume, crossover frequency, and main speaker volume makes it easy to create a smooth transition between the subwoofer and satellite speakers. In addition, this amplifier includes a unique channel selection switch, which allow you to turn off the satellite speakers and run just the subwoofer by itself allowing you to run separate powered satellites from the stereo RCA pass through outputs.
