Your subwoofer tech talk on steroids, with every aspect of subwoofer design touched on in detail. Cody Hiebert from Harbottle Audio accepts that he is a nerdy, geeky Audiophile who loves the scientific aspects of engineering and sound reproduction.


He also has an unwavering and uncompromising attitude to quality combined with a focus on innovation and performance and manufacture under strict 500 point quality control standards in Harbottle Audio’s own facilities.

“what happens in the low end of that subwoofer affects the top end of the subwoofer, which affects the crossover of the subwoofer to the main speaker, which affects the load on that main speaker. - Cody Hierbert - Harbottle Audio
