Bestisan SW65D Compact Powered Subwoofer 6.5 Inch

Overview

The Bestisan SW65D is a floor-standing subwoofer with a 6.5 inch driver and 60 watts of power, connecting through Aux or RCA inputs.

This is an add-on subwoofer meant to extend low-end bass from an existing stereo or home theater setup rather than a standalone speaker system. Aux and RCA inputs cover common connections to receivers, soundbars or amplifiers, and the floor-standing design means it sits on the ground rather than mounting to a wall or shelf. At 9.15 pounds and a compact roughly 12.6 by 6.3 by 12.6 inch footprint, it is sized to slot into a room without taking up much space.

• 6.5-inch driver, 60W power
• Aux and RCA connectivity
• Floor-standing design
• 9.15 lb compact footprint

Who it's for

Fits someone adding bass to an existing 2-channel or home theater setup that currently lacks a dedicated subwoofer. Not the right choice for someone wanting a self-contained all-in-one speaker, since this unit needs to be paired with a receiver or amp through Aux or RCA.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 6.5 inch driver and 60 watt power rating are sized for room-filling low frequency output rather than large-venue use, and the floor-standing form factor keeps the driver low and firing from ground level. Aux and RCA inputs mean it draws its signal from a connected receiver, amplifier or soundbar rather than running independently.
