Comments:	Gear Patrol reviewed our Intimus 6T-DB Hybrid XD system and the Bravus 12D Subwoofer is a component of that system. Here’s what Gear Patrol had to say specifically about the 12D in that review: “Long story short, it will rock your face off. Let’s start with the bass - every guy likes bass. The Bravus 12D subwoofer has not one but two 12 inch drivers that you’ll literally feel as it’s 500 watt digital amplifier explodes with room shaking frequences throughout your room (and neighborhood no less).” - Eric Yang, GearPatrol.com, April 2009 Read Full Review

Comments:	Audioholics reviewed our Intimus 6T-DB Hybrid XD system and the Bravus 12D – Dual 12” Powered Subwoofer is a component of that system. Here’s what Audioholics had to say specifically about the 12D in that review: “The build quality of this sub really surprised us. Not in the "wow, they actually did something right" sort of way, but the "holy cow, our readers really need to start checking these out" sort of way. So many other Internet brands get recognition for subwoofer performance and build quality, but I think we might need to take a second look at the 12D as a new stand-alone contender.” “The Bravus 12D subwoofer had a decisive thump that just seemed to blend perfectly into the song. Walking around the room I could hear the ebb and flow of the bass due to the standing waves and room acoustics, but I would swear that the Aperion system had much less problems than many other speakers we've tested to-date. "Every seat a good seat" is THX' motto, and the Aperion system, and especially the Bravus 12D subwoofer seemed to help that along quite nicely. We couldn't find a truly bad seat anywhere within reasonable listening distance of the mains.” “The Bravus 12D subwoofer pumped out the bass hits efficiently and with much control. I heard no breakup and the pounding my chest took told me that this sealed design was still putting out enough output to cause much tactile response - even in this rather large listening space. It only took a few passes before I was convinced that this subwoofer might need a follow-up review all of its own.” - Clint DeBoer - Audioholics.com, March 2009 Read Full Review

Dual 12” High-Excursion Custom Aluminum Drivers
We designed Bravus with dual custom aluminum drivers for efficient high-performance. One part rigid precision, one part low bass extension - shake well with a healthy helping of linearity, and you're left with two active drivers to take your music and movies to new depths. Aluminum offers the perfect blend of strength and mass to keep the BASH® digital amp operating efficiently. Couple this with a heavy duty rubber surround and a precision motor structure and you get bass that is deep and linear. To make things even better, we packed two active drivers in a small gorgeous enclosure so your Bravus 12” sub offers the performance of a larger sub but takes up less space.

500 Watt BASH® Digital Power Amplifier
Bravus is backed by the best in the business. BASH® has taken the best of Class D and Class AB amplification and created a new class of its own. By combining a fast response power converter with a linear amplifier, you get the uncompromising sonic performance of class AB analog amp with the unequaled efficiency of a class D digital amp. Toss in a customizable parametric EQ, crossover bypass, and a host of other features and you have the perfect recipe for high performance and value.

Backlit Digital Display with Included Remote Control
All Bravus subwoofers come with a remote control and backlit digital display so you can clearly see all your settings from the comfort of your couch. With three handy buttons for your pre-sets and easy access to all the other functions of your subwoofer, you can say goodnight to fumbling around with the back of your sub in the dark.

Fully Customizable Parametric EQ with Crossover Bypass
Tailor your Bravus subwoofer to your tastes. Every room is different, and every person is unique - your subwoofer should follow suit. Or if you prefer, bypass the internal crossover entirely and control the bass with your receiver or pre-amp. The choice is yours.

Customizable Pre-Set modes for Movies, Music & Games
Right out of the box, Bravus is optimized to get the most out of your passions. If that's not enough, it's ready to customize to your specific tastes. You can modify the presets for different music or movie genres. If you are a music person, set one up for classic rock, one for techno and one for jazz. If movies are your thing, you can use them for action, drama & comedy or any other combination.

Detachable Power Cord w/ Switchable Voltage
We make it easy to upgrade your cord or take your subwoofer on the road. No matter if you're in Los Angeles or Lisbon, you can easily switch between 110V and 220V power. Just plug in the correct cord, switch the voltage and enjoy. One caveat, though -- We're not responsible for international noise ordinances, so tread carefully and bring bribe money.

Line Level Inputs
Every Aperion subwoofer comes standard with an LFE line level input that connects to any receiver’s subwoofer pre-out. Or, if you don't have a sub-out connection, use the left and right low level inputs with the low level outputs from your pre-amp or receiver.

High Level Inputs
Hook your new subwoofer up to any receiver or amplifier! If you don’t have a sub-out connection on your receiver, you can use the left and right speaker outputs to make setup a snap.

Small Internally Braced 1” HDF Sealed Enclosure
Powerful bass needs a sturdy cabinet. Every Bravus D12 subwoofer is built out of strong 1” HDF and internally braced to reduce cabinet vibration to nearly nothing.

Timeless Design & Furniture-Grade Finish
Each of our Bravus subwoofers features a timeless design aesthetic and is beautifully finished in either real cherry wood or high gloss piano black lacquer, allowing them to effortlessly blend into your decor. This first-rate cabinetry unites the acoustic qualities of only the most expensive subwoofers with a furniture-grade finish so handsome your coffee table will be jealous.

Leveling Floor Spikes and Footers
Included with each Bravus subwoofer is a set of metal floor spikes with footers and a set of rubber feet. Use the metal spikes on carpet for tighter bass by decoupling the sub from the floor. If you have hard floors, use the footers with your metal spikes or use the included rubber feet to improve bass response and protect your surfaces from scratches or dents.

Acoustically Transparent Grille
Nothing stands between you and your sound. We designed a sonically invisible grille that not only looks great, but also protects your precious woofers from curious fingers, claws or snouts.
