Realm Audio will be releasing their rendition of a Shallow Subwoofer, the LFT12-D4F, pictured above. What you get is a 12″ sub with a mounting depth just shy of 3″, at 2.87″. This baby has a RMS of 300 watts @ 4ohms.
They refer to it as Flat…. which marketing wise, makes sense, but in actuality is a shallow mount subwoofer. Pricing is said to be $299 a pop, and should be available in late Spring.
Not much more information is available. Stay tuned for additional information. Read on for the full press release.

Slim is IN my friends! And Pioneer wants in on some of the slimfastness too. Introducing the latest from Pioneer, the TS-SW301 (12-inch) and TS-SW251 (10-inch) shallow subwoofers, measuring at only 3.5-inches deep. Recapture back you trunk space, the recommend sizes is anywhere from 0.35 cu. ft. all the way up to a whooping 1.0 cu. ft. for the TW301.
Too lazy to build your own box, Pioneer is one step ahead of JU! (pictured below)
Pioneer has also created the TS-SWX310 “ready-to-play” subwoofer enclosure pre-loaded with one 12-inch TS-SW301 subwoofer. The enclosure is made of reinforced medium density fiberboard (MDF), wrapped in high-quality black carpet with an embroidered Pioneer logo. The TS-SWX310 will be available in March 2008 with a suggested price of $250.
Some innovative features that Pioneer added include: an “air suspension control system” which rids the need for a traditional spider, and a stamped metal “fin-shape” directional basket which reduces the “loading effect”.
You won’t have to dig TOO deep in your pocket either for these babies. They will only cost you $140 for the 10″er and $20 more for the 12. They are expected to be available January 2008, so get em while they’re hot!
