Pushing their coils into those hot, smelly corners, where the bad things live. Where the bad things fight. We wanted that fight at the highest volume. A loud fight.

Hi all you bass heads! We all love our bass in one way or another. It could be the ability of your sub woofer system to faithfully and accurately reproduce the lower octaves of a church organ or the thundering sound of the huge timpani drums being played by an orchestra.
