System Configurations

The SA-380 amplifier is a mono-block amplifier, which 
drives a single IWTS-8e SUB woofer module. Any 
number of amplifier/woofer modules may be used, 
depending on the system requirements. In small- to 
medium-sized rooms, it’s likely that a single amp/
woofer module will be all that’s needed for outstanding 
bass. For larger spaces (or when extremely loud bass 
reproduction is a necessity), two or more amplifier/
woofer modules can be used.

Subwoofer Features

The woofer module consists of two very powerful 8-inch 
drivers specially designed to deliver substantial bass 
energy from the in-wall enclosure. Because they’re only 
8 inches in diameter, their cones respond very quickly to 
the amplifier’s signal. 
In addition, the baffle is coated with a special compound 
called RDT™ (Resonance Dampening Treatment), 
designed to suppress unwanted baffle resonances and 

maximize inner bass detail and articulation. The result 
is very “fast” bass response without boom or overhang: 
Music is taut and precise; special effects are powerful 
and room-filling.

The woofer module is shown in its 
dedicated in-wall enclosure. Once 
it’s installed within the wall (new 
construction only) all you see is 
a gently curved perforated metal 
grille that projects into the room 
approximately 1½ inches. The 
grille and the trim ring around the 
woofer module are supplied in a 
matte white primer finish that can 
be used as is or painted to match 
the surrounding wall surface.
