Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The SUB1 is a serious bass booster, especially if you’re already in the Bose ecosystem with an L1 Pro32. That RaceTrack driver really moves air, and the Cardioid mode is a lifesaver in tricky venues. Perfect for smaller bands, DJs, or anyone needing a powerful, portable low-end foundation.
