Polk Audio DXi Subwoofers


DXi subs can turn any ride, any journey, on land or water, into a power trip of realistic sound and exhilarating energy, and do it all reliably. That’ because DXi component subwoofers are subjected to accelerated weathering testing to ensure they can hold up to what some pretty nasty marine and automotive environments dish out. DXi subs’ high efficiency design means less amplifier power is needed for more audio output. And that means better sound and more volume while using less power. DXi subwoofers will blow you and your friends away, whether they’re driven by aftermarket or factory installed electronics. Visit the Polk Audio website at for more information.

Hifonics Zeus Subwoofers


Zeus subs feature great looking cosmetics with a one-piece cone and dust cap for accurate bass reproduction through a wide range of frequencies and impressive power handling capabilities. The traditional spider design was challenged, and through extensive testing, Hifonics engineers separated the two spiders and determined the ideal distance and position to produce maximum excursion outward and inward while maintaining optimal control. Zeus subwoofers feature dual 4-Ohm multi-layer voice coils, 500 Watts RMS / 1000 Watts max power handling, a high excursion rubber surround, polypropylene cone, Nomex spider, woven tinsel leads, embossed PP dust cap and an ABS magnet cap.
