Paradigm Seismic 110 Subwoofer Satin Black

Admit it: The first thing that went through your head when you saw this little powerhouse was, 'Awww, how cute.' With its sleek, curved die-cast monocoque exterior and oversized paws hidden underneath, you can't help but look at this little guy and wish you had a chin to scratch.

But, as my dad likes to say, 'Frisk this puppy at the wrong time and you're liable to pull back a butt.' Despite its adorable looks, the Seismic 110 boasts a natural bark and an equally big bite. In addition to its ultra-low distortion split-coil driver design, the subwoofer also features an 850-watt RMS Ultra-Class-D amplifier, and the 10-inch woofer cone is capable of two inches of travel, giving it an incredibly deep voice for such a small frame.

Price: Affordable. (Newspapers and chew toys not included.)
