Frequently Asked Questions
While not the absolute deepest, the Altea-718 offers a well-defined and punchy low-end; its focus is on impactful mid-bass rather than sub-sonic frequencies.
Given its power handling, a quality amplifier delivering around 800-1200 watts RMS at 8 ohms will really let this sub shine without stressing the components.
It’s really designed for medium to large spaces; in smaller rooms, the low-frequency output might be overwhelming and require careful EQ adjustments.
