The Bravus II 10D is a compact sealed subwoofer built around one down-firing 10-inch aluminum driver and two side-firing 10-inch passive radiators, driven by a 500W RMS Class D amplifier. Aperion rates it down to 28Hz at +/-3dB, so it reaches deep for its size without the bulk of a big ported box. It suits people who want strong home theater and music bass in a small room or a shared living space, and its gloss finish and grille help it blend in. Against ported 12-inch subs it gives up some output at the very bottom, but the sealed cabinet and passive radiators are what keep its bass tight and quick.

Owners rate it highly and describe rich, full, tight bass from a small cabinet that fills a room without sounding muddy or boomy. Many praise easy setup and blending with existing speakers, and several have kept older Bravus subs for over a decade. The main complaint is a single report of random popping while the unit is powered on.
The Aperion Audio Bravus II 10D is a compact 10-inch powered subwoofer for home theater and music. It has one active down-firing 10-inch aluminum driver and two side-firing 10-inch passive radiators. A 500W RMS Class D amplifier drives it, with a 1,000W peak rating.
The cabinet is sealed and made of 1-inch HDF with internal bracing to reduce vibration. The drivers have aluminum cones and heavy-duty rubber surrounds. An acoustically transparent grille protects the drivers, and the cabinet has a furniture-grade finish.
It connects to a receiver or amplifier through an LFE line level input, left and right low level inputs, or high level speaker inputs. The power cord is detachable and the voltage is switchable. Leveling floor spikes and footers are included.
