About the D15-Chimera
The Hsu Research D15-Chimera is an active, dual-opposed 15-inch subwoofer designed for high-output home-theater and music systems. In its standard form it is a sealed cabinet with two side-firing 15-inch woofers driven by a built-in 1,200 W RMS amplifier. Its modular design allows it to be converted to the D15-Chimera SC configuration by adding Hsu’s optional Supercharger enclosure, creating a multi-ported system with substantially deeper low-frequency extension. The dual-opposed driver layout is intended to cancel cabinet reaction forces and reduce enclosure vibration. It provides balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA, and speaker-level inputs, plus an adjustable/bypassable low-pass crossover. Hsu lists long-term warranty coverage of 7 years for the woofers and 5 years for electronics. The D15-Chimera is a current product, rather than a legacy/discontinued model.
