The Raptor System I is the only 2 x 15" dual opposed driver subwoofer that features an up-firing/down-firing configuration ever offered commercially. The advantages of a subwoofer that's configured this way are explained in detail on our website Q&A page.

The Raptor System I consists of one Raptor Module, loaded with two BHT-15 long throw proprietary subwoofer drivers and the all-new A-5K amplifier. The system has a customized signal shaper built in to optimize the system performance, whether the system is used for music or movie soundtrack playback.

Your Home Theater space will be immediately enhanced by the addition of the Raptor's impeccable craftsmanship and unique high-tech design. Specifically designed to fit snugly into a corner for optimal performance in a tiny footprint of less than 3 square feet, and, with the A-5K amplifier taking up only 2RU of your hardware rack and weighing in at a mere 30 pounds, Raptor is as easy to integrate as it is to look at.
