Key Features
Feature
Benefit
Substantial Low-Frequency Impact
A high-power neodymium woofer works with a low-tuned enclosure to reproduce deep bass with punch and precision.
Optimized Port Airflow
Elliptical bass-reflex ports reduce turbulence and unwanted port noise, helping maintain definition at elevated output levels.
Built-In Power and Processing
Integrated Class-D amplification and DynX® DSP provide a self-powered expansion solution without an external amplifier.
Controlled Performance Under Load
Peak, RMS, and thermal limiters manage demanding signals and help protect the system during professional operation.
Automatic Expansion Mode
FOLLOWER mode activates when no column is inserted, supporting straightforward integration with the main MAUI system.
Cabinet and Driver Protection
A durable polyurea finish protects the birch plywood enclosure, while an impact-resistant grille shields the woofer.
Secure Handling and Placement
Four ergonomic handles provide practical grip points for carrying, positioning, and configuring the subwoofer.

Bass Expansion & Cardioid Configurations
Configuration
Setup & Performance Benefit
Forward-Facing Bass Reinforcement
Place the MAUI 66 G3 SUB W facing the audience beside the MAUI 66 G3 W and leave the Cardioid preset off. This configuration adds low-frequency output to the main system.
Cardioid Low-Frequency Coverage
Turn the extension subwoofer backward alongside the MAUI 66 G3 W and enable the Cardioid preset. The paired subwoofers reinforce bass toward listeners while reducing radiation behind the system.
Ideal Applications
