"At the heart of the SubRosa, beneath the finish, are two low-profile 10" woofers with die-cast frames and ultra-strong Neodymium magnets. The low profile design allows the woofers to fit in the shallow 3" deep enclosure. The two woofers output a lot of bass and as a result the SubRosa employs Sunfire's StillBass anti-shake technology to eliminate annoying wall vibrations. To avoid a painstaking discussion of physics and Isaac Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, I'll provide a simplified explanation. The anti-shake feature uses an IBeam device inside the enclosure to counteract the motion of the woofers and eliminate cabinet shaking and reduce vibrations. . The IBeam is a transducer with a magnet structure, like a woofer, but instead of a cone or diaphragm, the IBeam drives a heavy mass that moves out of phase with the woofers. When the woofers move in, the IBeam structure with the heavy mass moves the opposite direction. It's the principle of equal-but-opposite force at work (OK, a little bit of physics). The IBeam is driven by the amplifier and is mounted directly to the back of the baffle inside the enclosure. It must work, because the cabinet doesn't shake and vibrations are hardly noticeable, even when the subwoofer is played loudly.

Conclusion
The beautifully finished SubRosa delivers tight, defined bass for movies and music and is a great space-saving subwoofer solution that's ideal for a system built around a wall-mounted flat panel television or a narrow profile big screen TV.
Candidly, Bob Carver told me that he was initially skeptical about the appearance of a flat panel subwoofer, but after seeing a prototype, he was convinced it was a winner, another solution to a problem. He was correct. The SubRosa doesn't look like a boxy subwoofer, so be prepared with a good demo when your friends ask you, "What's that?"
Highs
- Unique, space-saving alternative to a boxy subwoofer with beautiful Rosewood finish
- Deep, tight bass performance and handles high bass output
- Flexible room placement options
Lows
- Better performance when connected via pre-outs instead of Sub/LFE output
- Pricey subwoofer, but worthy of consideration"
