ESX V1100AV2 - 28cm active subwoofer

ESX V1100AV2 28cm active subwoofer 

The predecessor model V1100A conquered the market a few years ago and could be described as a revolution in the field of active subwoofers. This was also reflected in the specialist magazine Car & Hifi, where the V1100A received the top score of 1.1 and the award BEST PRODUCT on its debut. But even proven top products can be improved, which is why the V1100A is now being launched as a V2 version.
With the V1100Av2 the developers pursued the goal of making something good even better. In terms of sound, nothing was left to be desired, but the previously quite large remote control had to be made smaller. So in the new V2 version the controls for the crossover, bass boost, subsonic and phase were placed in the upper housing cover. These can be conveniently adjusted there, which has made the included remote control much more compact.
The ESX engineers also gave the box a short-circuit-proof power plug that can be unplugged if necessary. This means that the spare tire sub can be removed quickly and easily. The high-quality high-end subwoofer with 28 cm metal membrane and 64 mm voice coil, which can withstand even the high pressures in the housing, has remained unchanged. The powerful Class A/B power amplifier with 150 watts RMS has also been retained. Cinch and high-level inputs with auto-switch-on function ensure the right connection.
Of course, the structure of the high-quality aluminum housing has also been retained. One of the decisive strengths of the V1100A was and is the ingenious fastening solution. The second bead in the middle of the subwoofer completely seals the housing. The fastening screw can also be pushed through here, which securely fixes both the spare wheel and the subwoofer. With a diameter of 36 cm and a height of just 14.5 cm, the new V1100Av2 fits into spare wheel wells from 15 inches or even in vehicles without a spare wheel.
