WATCH Dog

Introduced 2001$9,950 MSRP

The WATCH Dog (an acronym for "Wilson Audio Theater Comes Home") was Wilson Audio's powered subwoofer designed to extend and enhance bottom-octave performance for both music and home-theater systems without compromising speed, tonal accuracy, or phase coherence, and was frequently partnered with Wilson's Sasha and WATT/Puppy loudspeaker systems (source: [Wilson Audio](https://www.wilsonaudio.com/products/watch-dog/watch-dog-powered), [SoundStage! Network](https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/revequip/wilson_watchdog.htm)). It used a single 12-inch ultra-long-throw woofer paired with a 400-watt internal amplifier in a substantial sealed enclosure (source: [Wilson Audio owner's manual](https://www.wilsonaudio.com/media/310/manual-watch-dog.pdf), [SoundStage! Network](https://www.soundstagenetwork.com/revequip/wilson_watchdog.htm)).
