Phoenix Subwoofer
Epik advances the art of low frequency with the Phoenix subwoofer. Forget about comparing it to other subwoofers for value or performance. It completely rewrites what to expect from a subwoofer.
The Phoenix is designed to offer an amazing amount of overall output and extreme low end performance in a cabinet that still manages to fit into a living room. Music is lightning fast and detailed, but the effortless bottom end can also sneak up on you and shake your walls when you least expect it.
Harnessing the raw power of our 18" high excursion driver requires substantial investments in cabinet design and port technology. The cabinet is an absolute tank. It is inert and resonance free, thanks to the ultra-thick baffle and bracing that line the inside.
The Phoenix uses two high-flow flared ports to effortlessly sweep the air in the subsonic realm without a hint of extraneous noise. To further enhance their silent-running onslaught, the ports are down-firing, and don't distract from your movie or music listening experience.
This subwoofer is all about filling up your listening room with low distortion sound and never running out of steam. It achieves massive headroom for bone-crushing output, while still disappearing into your system and sounding downright musical.
The Phoenix is the perfect answer to those who want the absolute best sound and the low end to match. For the first time, it also pulls all of this off in a smaller box than you've come to expect.
When you are tired of paying too much for mediocre performance, the Phoenix is the answer to what you're looking for.

Driver |
 With its awe-inspiring size and incredibly powerful motor design, this 18" driver takes our subwoofers to the next level. The driver generates huge output without much effort, and keeps its distortion incredibly low. Along with thunderous output, it has incredibly tight bass and musicality.
It all starts with an extremely high BL (motor strength) high excursion motor design featuring a 3" voice coil and hyper-linear spider. Utilizing expensive high-strength ceramic magnets, the driver delivers both high sensitivity and low distortion.
To properly harness the power of motor, we used a massive cast aluminum frame. The downright beautiful silver-anodized frame aids in cooling the motor both with its surface area and its larger air flow vents located near the voice coil.
To move the kind of air that we at Epik demand, we utilized a beefy curvi-linear Kevlar impregnated paper-pulp cone. What makes it so special is our use of an extra tall and thin rubber surround. The surround allows for huge excursion, and also results in an enormous surface area.
The massive cone area gives this driver several huge advantages. It effectively uses less excursion for the same output level as a smaller driver. Lower excursion translates into lower distortion. It works less to create the same output than most drivers. In fact, the cone area of this 18" driver is roughly equal to a pair of 13" drivers. When directly compared to a single 13" driver, it only needs to move about half as much for the same output!
