Overview
The XS12e is built to unlock the missing piece of your system: deep, immersive bass. Without a subwoofer, movie soundtracks lack impact, and music can feel thin. Add the XS12e, and everything changes. Explosions rumble with cinematic intensity. A bass guitar or kick drum hits with weight and texture. You don’t just hear the sound, you literally feel it.
The XS12e is ideal for medium to large rooms. A single subwoofer adds serious low-end to your setup, while running dual XS12e subs smooths out bass across the room for more consistent performance. Whether you’re upgrading a stereo system or building a home theater, this subwoofer makes the difference between good sound and unforgettable sound.
And because it’s an Emotiva product, you can trust it to deliver both performance and reliability. Designed and engineered in Franklin, Tennessee, the XS12e reflects our belief that great audio should be accessible to everyone. And with a 5-year factory warranty, you’ll enjoy that performance with complete peace of mind.

The 12” Powerhouse
A long-throw driver moves serious air for bass that’s both powerful and precise. Dual rear ports minimize noise, so you get smooth, effortless low-end.

Efficient 300-Watt Amplifier
The Class D amplifier delivers 300 watts of clean power, perfectly matched to the driver. A built-in limiter protects against overload while staying transparent at normal listening levels.

Flexible Connectivity
With both XLR and RCA inputs, the XS12e integrates easily into stereo and home theater systems. Controls for crossover, volume, and phase make it simple to dial in your perfect setup.

Solid Build
The reinforced MDF cabinet is built to resist vibrations. The textured vinyl finish and sculpted fabric grill ensure it looks as good as it sounds.
