The Amplifier

Engineered for One Purpose

The HRSIW8AMP is not a general-purpose amplifier. It was designed from the ground up to power only the Sunfire HRSIW8 in-wall subwoofer — delivering 520 watts RMS of clean, distortion-free bass through a compact 1U rack-mount chassis.

The Science

Three Technologies.
One Extraordinary Result.

01

High Back-EMF

Sunfire High Back-EMF Technology produces massive amounts of deep bass from a cabinet not much larger than the woofer itself. By increasing input power by a factor of 10 or more and designing custom drivers with oversized magnets and voice coils, Sunfire achieves what conventional designs cannot: efficiency, small enclosure, and bass extension — all three.

This is the science behind Hoffman's Iron Law — and how Sunfire breaks it.

StillBass®

What allows the HRSIW8 to deliver room-shaking bass without shaking your walls? StillBass — Sunfire exclusive mechanical vibration elimination technology. Originally developed for the legendary SubRosa, StillBass packs more power and performance into in-wall subwoofers than any competitive product.

Powerful bass. Zero vibration. Your neighbors will never know.

03

Frequency Filtration Design

Proprietary FFD Technology is what makes the HRSIW8AMP the perfect match for the prodigious bass capabilities of the HRSIW8 subwoofer. Combined with DSP-controlled equalization, adjustable crossover, and five EQ presets (Impact, Movie, Music, Dynamic, Flat), every listening experience is precisely tuned.

Five EQ presets. Three memory locations. Infinite possibilities.
