Additional $200 savings through December 22nd on select finishes.

The SubMersive was the first product offered by Seaton Sound in 2006.  The first owners were all avid enthusiasts who learned about what Mark Seaton was doing with the SubMersive through the fast growing AVS Forum (link to AVS for a bit of nostalgia).  Since then the SubMersive has seen 4 upgrades over the years keeping it a top contender against the best subwoofers available.  Even more than a decade later the first pair of SubMersives in the linked AVS thread have been upgraded to our latest version of the SubMersive HP+ available here.  The SubMersive successfully demonstrated that it was both possible and desirable to offer low frequency extension to below 10Hz in room and dramatically higher dynamic capabilities.  You didn’t have to give up a concert kick drum if you wanted the room to shudder when depth charged on the screen.  The SubMersive has evolved into 2 variations and a highly refined subwoofer equally at home in the most impressive home theaters and complimenting exotic music systems.

Description

The SubMersive HP+ is a high power subwoofer solution utilizing a pair of 15″ sealed woofers on opposite faces of the enclosure.  Each HP+ unit with its 4,000W amplifier can power not only its own pair of sealed 15″ woofers, but also and additional SubMersive HP-Slave unit.  In-room extension to below 10Hz is possible in the largest to the smallest of spaces.  Slave units can be placed separately from the HP+ unit such as one HP+ in the left front corner, and a connected HP-Slave unit in the front right corner, or units can be stacked for greater headroom from the same footprint.

    Check out what John Johnson of Secrets of Home Theater & High Fidelity had to say about the previous version of our SubMersive HP+ subwoofer in his review found here (HPi+ is 230-240V capable with the same performance).

  2. W Jeff Meier –

    I purchased a Seaton SubMersive HP+ for my home theater months ago. This product is crazy good along with the outstanding customer support.

    I have worked in thousands of home theaters, some of which have over $300,000+ in audio gear alone. I do not remember a system with bass more to my liking than what I have now. Kudos to Mark Seaton for this ground breaking product.

    The low distortion bass I experience is a wonder every time I sit down to watch a movie. Couple that with deep bass that does not want to shake my home apart.

    I wish I could award this product more stars, but five is the limit. I could not be happier.

  3. Sudheer –

    Never had thought of subs could be so big with so good clean bass. Was setting up a new home theater system in my new ranch home and bought the HP+ and HP- based on a close friend’s suggestion who had 2 of these from previous version. Can’t thank enough to my friend and Mark for these 2 findings. Anyone looking for a good clean and rich bass and have a some money to spend, your search is over here. Go for it and you will thank me later.

    It is really that good. Besides showing off my friends with “Hotel California” song, it is a pleasure to watch great movies with good sound tracks, especially action movies.

    Thanks Mark once again

    I have had the SubMersive for, I don’t know at least 13 years. It is an out standing product. It handles everything I play. But it does it so well. The bass can shudder the walls or be very discrete. No matter if it’s a bass monster or not, it does not matter. It still sounds great. Plus on music it fills in the bottom so well. From Tool to the Allman Brothers, all music sounds great. And as I said before, movies sound awesome. I can easily recommend this sub. Since I bought it I am now at an original HP+ level with 2400 watts of fury.
    Did I say I really like this sub, because I do.

  5. Scott Harding –

    In over 20 years of differing home theater configurations (starting with Dolby stereo) the Seaton Sub HP+ is still the cleanest, most powerful bass I’ve ever heard in my theater.

    I’ve run many of the big name subs using the sub crawl, room correction, and all the tricks reasonable for the room I have and the Seaton, now 6 years old, still well outperforms the others often costing more.

    Anyone concerned about whether or not Seaton subs are a good spend can lay their worries to rest.
    Keep up the excellent work guys!

Pre-Owned SubMersive HP+, HP-R(original) or HP-Slave Subwoofer

12/13/2023 update, both black maple units have been purchased.  1 red cherry unit still available. $600 savings on 1 red cherry SubMersive.

 

We have 2 pre-owned black oak SubMersive units which are near perfect cosmetically, and ready to be loaded and shipped as slave units, with new HP+ amplifier, or with original style, 2400W amplifier at a $400 savings per unit.  These units are available to ship within 3 business days of ordering.

We also have a single red cherry SubMersive display unit which is available in the same configurations, at the same price as these black maple units, making for a $600 savings.

X21P/X21A 21″ Ported Subwoofer (Passive or Amplified)

The X21 is a large subwoofer using a massive, 21″ woofer and a pair of 6″ diameter flared ports allowing for high efficiency and clean output to fill the largest of rooms or bass appetites.  We offer two options for the 21″ driver where our X21AD & X21PD models utilize a 4.5″ voice coil design, and our X21AI & X21Pi models utilize a massive 6″ split voice coil design for even more power handling, greater headroom, and even lower distortion.  With the durability and efficiency of this system we are happy to allow users to select their own amplification in offering a passive version of the X21 subwoofer with either driver option while we provide recommended DSP filter settings for optimal performance.  We also offer a 1200W ICEpower based amplifier with the X21AD variant and our 4000W amplifier with the X21AI which uses the larger 6″ voice coil woofer.  You can find rather extensive measurements of what we call the X21PD here at Data-Bass.
