The Sub8 from Adam Audio is a compact yet powerful 8.5-inch active subwoofer with a 38mm voicecoil. The Sub8 is driven by a 160W RMS amplifier that stays cool, even while handling maximum power levels for a sustained period of time. The front panel has two motorized knobs for setting input level and crossover frequency. An included wireless remote allows you to change those settings from your normal listening position for the highest degree of accuracy. An ideal match to several of the Adam active and passive nearfield monitors, the Sub8 offers a balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors.

Adam Professional Audio Sub8 Reviews
Great sub. A little pricey. Be careful about repackaging.

I use these in my office paired with a set of Adam A7Xs. The sub sits in a room that isn't treated and is simply my office where I like to enjoy high quality music. The sub is pretty good. It is well built and doesn't take up a lot of room. It has a built in xover so it will cut frequencies from the XLR pass through @ 85Hz saving your primary drivers the work if you so choose.B&H is what really failed here. Both $$subs were returns and repackaged. This was evident in the factory sub box being retaped with B&H tape and the remotes not having the protective gloss shield and being scratched and dented.

I have a small studio/mix room (120 square feet/11 square meters). The room is acoustically treated, has a 5-foot X 6-foot ceiling cloud, and wall to wall carpet. I'm using Adam Audio A7X reference monitors. Would I be better suited using an Adam Sub 8 due to the smaller room size or the Sub 10 to more closely match my A7X speakers?
