The Rockustics SubScape 12 is a 12-inch in-ground outdoor subwoofer designed to add extended low-frequency performance to landscape and outdoor audio systems. Its direct-burial design allows the main enclosure to be installed below ground, leaving only the discreet brown vent cap visible above the landscape.
Featuring a 12-inch ultra-long-throw mica graphite polypropylene cone woofer, the SubScape 12 delivers frequency response down to 25 Hz (-10 dB) and handles up to 300 watts continuous RMS / 600 watts program power.
The SubScape 12 is designed to complement Rockustics Periscape landscape speakers and can also be integrated with other compatible outdoor loudspeaker systems. A built-in transformer supports 70V distributed audio systems, while 8Ω direct operation provides an option for conventional low-impedance amplification.
Direct-Burial Outdoor Subwoofer
Unlike a conventional surface-mounted outdoor speaker, the SubScape 12 is designed for in-ground installation.
The subwoofer enclosure is buried beneath the landscape, with only its vent cap remaining visible. This provides low-frequency reinforcement while minimizing the visual impact of the audio system.
The design is well suited for:
-
Landscaped residential properties
-
Patios and decks
-
Gardens
-
Hotels and resorts
-
Outdoor restaurants
-
Pool and recreation areas
-
Commercial properties
-
Outdoor entertainment spaces
12-Inch Long-Throw Subwoofer
The SubScape 12 uses a 12-inch ultra-long-throw mica graphite polypropylene cone woofer with NBR surround.
Its low-frequency performance extends to:
-
25 Hz–150 Hz frequency response (-10 dB)
-
27 Hz–110 Hz frequency response (±3 dB)
This allows the SubScape 12 to reproduce low-frequency content that smaller landscape loudspeakers typically cannot provide on their own.
300W Continuous Power Handling
The Rockustics SubScape 12 provides:
-
300W maximum continuous RMS power
-
600W maximum program power
-
8Ω nominal impedance
-
8Ω minimum impedance
-
87 dB sensitivity at 1W/1m
-
87 dB sensitivity at 2.83V/1m
These specifications make the SubScape 12 suitable for outdoor audio systems requiring substantial low-frequency reinforcement.
70V or 8Ω Operation
The SubScape 12 includes a built-in transformer for 70V distributed audio systems and can also be operated in 8Ω direct mode.
This gives system designers flexibility when integrating the subwoofer into commercial distributed systems or conventional low-impedance outdoor audio systems.
For 8Ω operation, the PhaseTech P350 subwoofer amplifier is recommended in the information you've provided.
Designed for Rockustics Periscape Systems
The SubScape 12 is designed to complement Rockustics Periscape spike-mount landscape speakers, adding dedicated low-frequency reproduction to an outdoor system.
According to the information you provided, a single SubScape 12 can support systems with up to seven Periscape speakers, with additional subwoofers recommended for larger systems.
I would keep that information because it is genuinely useful to someone planning a Rockustics landscape audio system.
