So what is the SubMersive?

Here's the short list of what makes a SubMersive:
  • Dual, custom designed, 15" drivers with 3" diameter voice coils
  • A sealed enlcosure constructed only 20 miles from our warehouse with precision CNC cut and lock mitered construction.
  • Drivers on opposing faces for a completely inert, stablized cabinet that won't walk, shake or quiver. 
  • A robust, high efficiency, 1,000W ICEpower based amplifier with SMPS power supply.
  • Isolated balanced input eliminating common ground loop problems
  • Cabinet dimensions: 24.25" W x 17.5" D x 25.5" H
  • Frequency response: +/-3dB 18-200Hz - outdoor ground plane

I will be adding more details here, including pictures, but let's start with the outdoor, ground plane measurement (arbitrary level, not maximum):

More photos of our various finishes can be found in this thread.

You can also read much more in the original thread posted by our own "Grew" (aka WarrenBuffet on AVS) with his experience with a pair of SubMersives.  This thread then continued as a primary discussion thread regarding the SubMersive on AVS Forum:
Seaton Sound SubMersive1 Thread on AVS Forum

From that thread, here are some pictures of the SubMersives in Grew's system:



And of course we cannot forget Art Sonneborn's system where I integrated 4, yes FOUR SubMersives with the prototype Catalyst powered main speakers:
