Review on Earthquake Sound CP8 Subwoofer Laminate by Brooke Johnson

Fantastic Distributed Audio Subwoofer

speaker models. , a feature that is disappearing from subscriptions. The subwoofer is used in the distributed audio system in the master bedroom. We mounted a pair of Sonance 6.5" VP64R speakers on the ceiling. The subwoofer is under the bed, near the foot end of the bed. We used 16/4 speaker wire from the multiroom amplifier (12ch 60W/channel AudioControl Architect) in the pantry two floors down) to the terminal behind the bed, then to the Sonance speakers Because the Sonance speakers can operate in full range, we chose to connect the subwoofer in parallel with the speakers rather than the Sonance too Wire speakers into the subwoofer's Speaker Level high-frequency output Words cannot fully describe how beautifully the couch potato subwoofer fills the room with sound tuned that it was almost impossible to hear them as separate speakers.The space has power, texture and Fill in what you have to hear to believe. First of all, the couch potato form factor that allowed it to be hidden under the bed is what made this system come together so well. I've searched everywhere and couldn't find another subwoofer with a built in amplifier, speaker inputs, 8 inch woofer and a flat case. The CP8 ticked all of my boxes and the best part is that it actually sounds good win-win. Now the only part of the project that wasn't turn key was to install the subwoofer under the bed the box spring had to be 1 .5 inches raised to fit the subwoofer. I used 2" x 4" boards cut to various lengths and screwed onto the bed frame. This naturally raised the bed 1.5 inches, which wasn't exactly what I wanted. But it was necessary to use the subwoofer under the bed. I would like Earthquake Sound to consider building a shorter cabinet with two 6.5" woofers. It seems to me that this "hidden" subwoofer market (especially for distributed audio systems throughout the home, where rooms typically have a single pair of overhead speakers and don't really have a full sound) is not well served by today's products. Earthquake sound, are you listening?
