The Akai SW-170 A is a passive subwoofer designed to enhance the low-frequency output of an audio system. It features a 12-inch driver that delivers deep bass, making it suitable for use in home theater setups and music playback systems. The enclosure is built from MDF, which is known for its durability and resonance control, helping to minimize unwanted vibrations. The subwoofer is typically powered by an external amplifier, allowing users to customize the power output based on their specific audio preferences. The SW-170 A is designed with the intention of producing rich, deep bass without muddying the overall sound quality of the system. It can be integrated with various speaker configurations, enhancing the overall audio experience by providing a solid foundation for low end frequencies. Its design often includes adjustable crossover settings to tailor the frequency response to match different system components. Other specifications may include a sensitivity rating that indicates how effectively the subwoofer converts power into sound output, and an impedance rating that determines compatibility with different amplifiers.
