Athena Point 5N (P.5) Compact 8″ Downward Firing Subwoofer
$125.00
An 8-inch injection-moulded polypropylene woofer firing down into the floor, driven by a 75-watt MOSFET amplifier — 35 to 180 Hz with the -3 dB point at 26 Hz. Line-level RCA and speaker-level inputs both, plus an SCT mode switch that presets the crossover for Athena’s S.5 satellites so you only have to set level. 15 pounds. Good condition, tested and working.

Athena Point 5N (P.5) Subwoofer – Black Finish, Good Condition, Tested and Working Well
Add strong, musical bass to your home theater or compact audio system with this Athena Point 5N (P.5) powered subwoofer in classic black. Fully tested and working well, this subwoofer is in good overall cosmetic condition and offers excellent performance for its size—perfectly matching Athena’s Point 5 satellite systems or supplementing any small-to-medium speaker setup.
The Point 5N/P.5 subwoofer is a compact, down-firing design featuring an 8-inch injection-molded polypropylene woofer powered by a robust 75-watt MOSFET amplifier. Its ported enclosure and SCT (System Creation Technology) preset EQ allow for easy integration, providing deep, controlled bass with tight response and minimal distortion.
The P.5’s front panel has controls for output level and “Bass Range” (high-frequency cut off), as well as switches for “Mode” and “A/V.” The A/V switch can be set for Audio (flat frequency response) or to Video, which “enhances the bass frequencies’ response for the thump and excitement of home-theater soundtracks.” The P.5’s Mode switch can be set to provide the optimum crossover characteristics for an appropriate Athena Technologies satellite speaker, which in this case is the S.5. When the switch is set to this position, it overrides the Bass Range control and the user need only adjust the output level of the sub to match the volume of the S.5 satellites. Blending satellite speakers with a subwoofer can sometimes be a frustrating process of finding just the right balance of the crossover frequency, output level, and perhaps even placement of the sub. I appreciated having the “S.5″ setting for the Mode switch, which greatly simplified this process.
Measuring 13.25” high by 10” wide by 13.5” deep (337 × 254 × 343 mm), and weighing a convenient 15 lbs (6.8 kg), this sub is compact enough for discreet placement but strong enough to fill your room with satisfying low frequencies.
The Point 5N offers standard RCA line-level and speaker-level inputs and controls for crossover frequency and volume, making it compatible with a wide variety of receivers and amplifiers. Whether for movies, music, or gaming, this Athena sub supplies the punch and depth your system needs, especially in rooms where space is at a premium.

LG SH96TA-W Passive Subwoofer, Front-Firing, Front-Ported, Black
The passive subwoofer that shipped with LG's SH96TA home-theatre system — forward-firing driver and a front port, so it can back onto a wall or sit inside a cabinet without upsetting the tuning. It is a 3-ohm load and needs a receiver with a dedicated passive-subwoofer output; it should not go on ordinary speaker terminals. No power cord, no plate amp to age out. Good cosmetic condition.

JVC SX-PW33 Slim Tower Subwoofer — 6.5in, 100W, High-Pass Out
A tall, narrow bass column meant to stand beside a cabinet rather than in front of it — 8.25 inches across the front and unusually deep at 17, which is the trade: the depth buys back the internal volume the narrow baffle gives away, so a 6.5 inch woofer is properly loaded in a strip of floor barely wider than a hardcover book. Driven by an integrated 100 watt amplifier, with speaker-level inputs and high-pass outputs so it works with an amplifier that has no subwoofer output at all. Good condition.
