However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Kanto SUB8 Vinyl Subwoofer features an eight-inch woofer and a 300W internal amplifier, delivering a powerful bass response that can be integrated into your monitor/speaker setup with ease. The sealed design ensures maximum accuracy in the low-end, with a full-range sound that delivers tight bass.
Product Ref: 192659
Give your favourite tracks and film soundtracks a stronger low-frequency foundation. The SUB8 combines an 8-inch paper cone woofer with a Class D amplifier, delivering 150W RMS and up to 300W peak power. With a frequency response extending from 35Hz to 175Hz, it reproduces lower frequencies that smaller speakers may struggle to deliver on their own.
This extra depth helps bring out the weight of bass instruments, rhythmic details, and low-frequency soundtrack effects. You get a fuller listening experience — with bass that supports the rest of your system rather than drawing attention away from it.
Bass should have definition as well as depth. That's why the SUB8 uses a sealed acoustic-grade MDF enclosure, helping its driver respond quickly to changes in the audio signal. Compared with vented designs, this construction offers a faster response to transients, reducing unwanted distortion and keeping low frequencies controlled.
You'll notice the benefit when listening to music with fast basslines, repeated kick drum hits, and changing rhythms. Individual notes remain easier to distinguish, giving your music a more natural sense of timing. The sealed design also helps prevent excessive resonance from muddying the overall sound, making it suitable for detailed everyday listening.
Getting your subwoofer to work alongside your existing speakers is straightforward. The SUB8 features an adjustable low-pass filter ranging from 40Hz to 120Hz, allowing you to choose which lower frequencies the subwoofer handles. This helps create a smoother transition between the SUB8 and your main speakers, keeping the overall sound balanced.
A selectable 0°/180° phase switch gives you further control over how the subwoofer interacts with your setup. RCA left and right line-level inputs provide connectivity, while switchable automatic standby offers convenient everyday operation. Together, these features make it easier to adapt the SUB8 to your listening space and preferred sound.
You don't need a large room to enjoy deeper bass. Measuring roughly 11 inches across each dimension, the SUB8 takes up relatively little space, making it suitable for smaller flats, desktop audio systems, and compact home entertainment setups. Its simple appearance also sits comfortably alongside Kanto speakers and other audio equipment.
Built with a rigid MDF cabinet, sturdy rubber feet, and a protective metal grille, it's designed to handle regular use around the home. The durable vinyl finish adds further protection while maintaining a clean, understated appearance. A universal 100V–240V power supply also supports use across different mains voltage regions.
