The Basis 300 subwoofers are designed to complement the performance of the Series 7 loudspeakers. The Basis 300
features an extremely tight, long throw 10-inch woofer, with a neodymium magnet and cast frame. Its total excursion
is nearly an inch! Coupled to a 300 watt amplifier and mounted in an optimized cabinet, the Basis 300 delivers deep,
tight response and blends seamlessly with the front speakers.
There are two versions of the Basis 300. One version, called simply the Basis 300, is housed in a traditional Snell
furniture-finish cabinet. The other version, called the IC-Basis 300, is housed in a cabinet that as a textured-black util-
ity finish, appropriate for custom installations. In this manual both are simply called Basis 300.
The IC-Basis 300 has an additional design feature that makes it adaptable to a variety custom installation situations.
The cleverly designed enclosure allows the feet and amplifier to be repositioned. The allows the driver to be facing
forward in installations with a full-face grille. Or the cabinet can be reconfigured so the driver is firing downward, for
a “slot grille” installations.
