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).

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.

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.

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!
