RMS means nothing here, is the other specs that matter. That said, looking at it .. I'd say its rated for 50W/100W max.

Why do you ask?

Default No good at all

I think i read it is 50W, the biggest problem with the stock Boss woffer is that is not really "enclose". It is just put it inthere without any acoutics. This will degrade "any" manufacture Sub.

I don't think the lack of an enclosure is the issue. Have you pulled the sub out and taken a look at it. The bose sub just looks like a cheep piece of **** when compared to almost anyother half way decent 10" sub.

The Bose subwoofer is their standard shallow mount Neo sub driver .. that is used in tons of bose designs. It is made for free air use, as it is mounted in the Z (so don't worry about the lack of box for it .. that isnt making it sound bad). The biggest problem with the Bose sub is its lack of movement .. it is unable to move enough air to play like your run of the mill aftermarket sub can.

Exactly the Bose sub is probably only 3 to 4 inches in total depth. Which leaves almost no room for cone movement.

The differnce between a 10W3V3 and the bose sub would be like night and day.

I wonder if I'll ever get tired of slamming Bose ... probably not.



That large cylinder of metal isn't the "missing" pole piece from the Bose subwoofer it's the spare VQ tuning port from the Infinity's motor.

Is this infinity actually installed where the bose sub was?

No special mods?

Paul, while I normally agree with you when it comes to audio, simply comparing the speakers side by side isn't fair. I know of a nice shallow mount sub that will blow those Infinity's away in both SPL and SQ. Bigger magnets do not equate to better speakers as your photo suggests, rather it is the strength of the magnets in the motor that makes the difference. I'd say more, but will leave it at that for the time being. Let's just say the subwoofer market is going to change soon, and I have inside info on this change, and have heard them in person.
