A:AnswerHello. Self powered means the Monitor XT10 has it's own amplifier built-in (allowing the user to connect this sub-woofer directly to their sub-woofer output port of their AV receiver or integrated amplifier). Class D amplification is the most efficient type of amplifier used in powered sub-woofers. It offers high power without adding so much to your fuel bill.
A:AnswerHello Neil,
The XT10 does not come with a remote, it will auto shutoff and auto power on based on the signal being sent to it via the amp or AVR it is connected to.
