Mirage MM8 8" black 1200W powered subwoofer

Bass . . . cubed

The folks at Mirage put the idea that a subwoofer should fill your listening area with deep, powerful bass and not with large, obtrusive woofer enclosures into practice when designing the new MM-8 subwoofer. As with the MM-6, don't let this sub's compact 9"-cubed enclosure deceive you; a single 8.0" active woofer and two 8.0" passive radiator woofers combine with 1200W of built-in amplification to reproduce clear, deep low-frequency audio for all your listening needs. Feel the thunder of a helicopter's blades in your favorite action movie or rock out to the bass lines in your favorite songs.
Bass can be better

Sure, in the end, a speaker's driver cone produces the audio you listen to, but in order to produce stunning, full, clear audio, a cone has to have a fine-tuned support system. Take for example the surround, or the component that helps keep the cone centered, allowing for freedom of motion. Thanks to Mirage's patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology, the MM-8 is capable of reproducing low-frequency audio characterized by increased excursion, reduced distortion, and improved efficiency. The Elliptical Surround encompasses the cone, allowing it to move identically in both directions, resulting in near zero distortion. And while conventional designs are often plagued with surround dimpling, which causes them to radiate in and out of phase and distort at all listening levels, Mirage's design isn't influenced by dimpling at all. Further, Ribbed Elliptical Surrounds allow for a larger cone surface, resulting in greater efficiency. This design also lets the cone achieve greater peak-to-peak movement, thus allowing it to travel more than double the distance of other cones. These attributes enable Mirage woofers and subwoofers to move incredible amounts of air, ultimately allowing them to play lower frequencies with greater bass extension and fidelity. Bass can be better.
Passive-aggressive bass

An active woofer driver produces most of the bass audio you enjoy. At the same time that the active driver is producing sound by moving air at the front of the driver, however, it is also moving air at its rear. If not properly compensated for, this residual movement of air can cause resonance within the sub's enclosure, ultimately reducing the quality of the audio you hear. With its dual passive radiators, the MM-8 subwoofer utilizes this movement of air to improve the overall bass effect. While the main 8.0" active woofer is driving the bass, the MM-8's two 8.0" passive radiator woofers are being driven by the residual air movement behind the active driver, ultimately improving bass extension and efficiency and allowing for a more compact loudspeaker enclosure.
A quick note: A Stock status

While B Stock products are those that Vann's has received from a third party, often at low liquidation prices, and may have minor damage to their packaging, A Stock products like this Mirage speaker product are brand new, in-the-box speakers that have been received directly from the manufacturer and carry a full manufacturer warranty.
