The Defiance® S12 steps it up with a massive 800W RMS (1,200W Peak), delivering thunderous lows with pinpoint accuracy. Engineered for maximum output and control, these ultra-efficient amplifiers ensure your bass hits hard, stays tight, and never gets in the way of the performance.

Deep Bass, No Distractions

Defiance® S10 and S12 are built for impact—not vibrations. Engineered with integrated anti-
vibration feet, these subwoofers deliver powerful, controlled bass while minimizing floor and
wall resonance. By reducing energy transfer, they eliminate unwanted rattles and buzzes,
ensuring a cleaner, more immersive listening experience. This built-in vibration control
enhances clarity and dynamics and helps keep bass contained—perfect for shared spaces or
minimizing noise complaints. Designed for any surface, the feet are safe for all flooring types,
with optional carpet spikes included for even greater stability on carpeted floors.
