Questions about the LFM-1 Subwoofer

(Last updated April 2004)

Q. What are the specs?

The LFM-1 uses a 325 WRMS; 1300 watt peak BASH amplifier. The Bash amplifier powers a 12” long throw, down-firing woofer in a twin ported satin black cabinet.

Q. Any other specifics?

The LFM-1 will produce 115dB output with a frequency response of 25 Hz to 180 Hz +/- 2 dB. It uses a defeatable 4th order Linkwitz-Reilly low-pass crossover network for seamless integration in both home theater and dedicated two channel applications.

Q. Will there be speakers to go with the LFM-1?

Unfortunately, not at this time. The Outlaws have long and deep roots in the speaker business with some of the most well known brands going back to the early days of the "HiFi" industry. We have the capability to introduce speakers that will blow the doors off the competition, and one of these days we may just do that- but not anytime soon.

Q. If the LFM-1 sells for $579, is there a special deal if I buy two?

Absolutely, the S2 (Scattered Subwoofer) package sells for $999. That’s a savings of well over $150!

Q. How does the LFM-1 sound?

In a word, FANTASTIC! The LFM-1 is as musical as it is powerful, and it’s quick enough so as to not be outrun by high-end audiophile music speakers.

Q. Okay, so it sounds great, but how does it look?

The LFM-1 looks as good as it sounds. The color and finish will fit almost any interior without clashing with existing furniture and surroundings. To break up the solid surface of the cabinet we added a smoked Plexiglas inset panel on the top of the cabinet.

Q. I have hardwood floors; will the feet damage them?

No, the carpet spikes we provide come with felt bottomed metal discs to accept the carpet spikes without putting tiny holes in your hardwood, tile or laminate flooring.

Q. I have a small room, should I be concerned with overpowering my speakers?

No. Today’s receivers and processors provide separate level controls to ensure that the subwoofer volume matches the volume of the rest of your speakers. For dedicated two channel receivers, the LFM-1 also provides a level control.

Q. I see you offer the S2 package. Do I really need two subwoofers?

While the LFM-1 is capable of playing wall-rattling bass, the main benefit for two subwoofers is not added volume but a wider sweet spot. With one subwoofer, bass will only be optimized for one listening position. Using two subwoofers enables you to increase the size of the sweet spot to cover a wider portion of the listening area.

Q. What type of connections does it offer?

The LFM-1 offers both an LFE input connection for use in 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS home theaters as well as speaker level inputs for dedicated two-channel music systems.

Q. Does it offer remote turn on?

The LFM-1 provides a signal sense mode that will automatically turn on whenever a signal is present.

Q. What kind of warranty does the LFM-1 provide?

The LFM-1 offers a 3 year parts and labor warranty on both the amplifier and driver.
