bottom is 50 hz, i wouldnt even call it a sub. bose does better than that!

Well, true. But that's a given.The NuForce W-1 is a bass extender. In the original hifi sense of full range, it's far from a subwoofer. - 6moons

Given that it's not even a subwoofer, why would you call it a subwoofer in your thread tittle?

"NuForce W-1 - Tiniest sub?

Ask a Moderator to change the thread title.

Since lf extension apparently isn't a prerequisite, I think Logitech had an even smaller "sub" many years ago with a 4" driver. Though I don't think either one has much relevance to a home theater enthusiast.

Involve a moderator over semantics? That thing is a subwoofer by every definition of the word.

Although, the NuFire isn't the smallest. The Sunfire Super Junior (http://sunfire.com/productdetail.asp?id=10) is a 9" cube which is slightly smaller than the Nuforce. The Sunfire is also less likely to fall prey to the subwoofer semantics argument.

There are a couple of other ultra small subs worth mentioning.

The Velodyne Microvee (http://www.velodyne.com/products/product.aspx?ID=26) (-3dB down to 38Hz in room) and also pretty much a 9 inch cube. This one is quite a bit more expensive though due to its 1000W amp, aluminum coned driver with two passive radiators, aluminum enclosure. I use one of these with my computer system and it sounds very good

The Energy ESW-M6 is even smaller (8 inch cube)

Lastly there is the ELAC microsub, which like the Nuforce is also meant as a desktop sub, but the ELAC also has Bluetooth to operate with wireless devices

It even comes in a Rubiks cube color scheme (http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/03/elacs-microsub-2010-bt-the-most-rumbling-rubiks-cube-you-ever/)

And of course, the Definitive Technology Supercube III and Paradigm Ultracube 10 are also tiny subs.

Well to defend the OP.. the title does have a ? in it. Also he then immediately goes on to say "A new entry in the tiniest, cutest little "sub" category" which is an opinion :)

Wow. That thing is tiny! Maybe I'll get one of those for the bathroom. :) My shower radio could use some low-end. :D
