As a passive in-ceiling subwoofer, it installs into the ceiling plane to deliver bass while keeping a clean, low-profile architectural appearance. The square grille suits ceilings designed around square speaker openings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe QXC8S-S mounts into the ceiling and uses an 8-inch driver to add low-frequency support without a visible floor-standing or in-wall enclosure, making it suited to rooms where the ceiling is the cleanest location for bass. It is the square-grille member of the QXC8S family; a round-grille version is offered as the QXC8S-R. Because it is a passive subwoofer, it requires external amplification, giving the integrator control over crossover, level, and routing within a distributed audio or dedicated theater rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor pre-construction installs, the QXC8S-PB pre-construction bracket and the QXC8S-S-PBF flush-mount pre-construction bracket support rough-in and trimless finishes.
