With 150W continuous power and 450W of dynamic peak power, the PSB Subsonic 5i is twice as powerful as the sub it replaces in the PSB line. This twin-ported bass-reflex design uses a new 10" driver with a 56-ounce magnet, a 1.5" voice coil, and an oversized rubber surround to enhance its long-throw capabilities. There are speaker level inputs and out-puts, line-level inputs, a crossover bypass, and a phase toggle. Response is granite-solid down to 30Hz. Its sonic signature is a mix of speed, warmth, and sheer va-va-voom, with an unflus-tered ability to play at levels that could peel wallpaper..... at a price that should have you asking the same question that I kept asking, “ How did they do it?”In the May / June 2003 issue of The Perfect Vision, Neil Gader's review has some wonderful things to say about our new PSB SubSonic 5i.
