The system delivers 500 watts of continuous power to the woofer and 200 watts of continuous power to the horn, 1000 watts and 400 watts of peak power.

Serious low end. The low-end punch is so good that many people forgo a subwoofer. This system feels and sounds like a BIG system. The Q12 has found a home with some of the most demanding, persnickety producers and engineers in the world.
