The JBL SUB 12 Venue Series Subwoofer features a 12-inch tried-and-true PolyPlas woofer that reproduces low frequencies with extreme accuracy and minimal distortion. This delivers the thunderous, penetrating bass that recreates the special effects of today's hottest action movies in your living room. Also, it features an LFE input that bypasses the subwoofer's internal, and user-adjustable low-pass crossover network, to avoid unnecessary reprocessing of the low-frequency-effects channel of the digital soundtrack. The result will rock the room with floor-shaking effects, like explosions, earthquakes or even the rumbling of the engines in an airplane.
