Outlaw Audio has introduced an enhanced companion model to the company's much loved and loudly played LFM-1 subwoofer. In standard mode, the new LFM-1 Plus performs almost identically to the original version, which Outlaw Audio says is capable of delivering linear bass response down to 25 Hz with an output level of up to 115 dB "in most rooms".

Like the LFM-1, the new subwoofer uses a down-firing enclosure design and a 12-inch long-throw woofer. The LFM-1 Plus, however, now includes a 350-watt BASH amplifier, whereas the non-Plussed model incorporates a 325-watt amplifier.

The most significant difference between the two subwoofers is the addition of a custom port plug and the use of a selectable EQ circuit to determine tuning modes.

For performance similar to the LFM-1, the user removes the LFM-1 Plus' port plug and sets the Port Mode switch for "maximum output". In this configuration, the LFM-1 Plus specs out at 25 - 180 Hz, +/- 2 dB with an SPL of 115 dB (depending on room placement). With the custom port plug installed and the EQ set for more linear output, the LFM-1 is said to have a slightly lower SPL of 112 dB but with a frequency response of 18 - 180 Hz, +/- 2 dB.

The LFM-1 Plus is available now for $679 directly from Outlaw Audio's website. The company says the original LFM-1 will remain in the product lineup and sell for $579. Both models are available in your choice of color as long as you choose black.
