altavoz de graves / bajo

el "powered" le pertenece a la palabra anterior 250-Watt, es decir, 250 Vatios (Watts) de potencia (poder). En inglés potencia eléctrica es power.

250-Watt powered = 250 Vatios de potencia.

Acá en Venezuela los altavoces de graves los llamamos comúmente bajos.
Example sentence:

Mi carro tiene un bajo Aura de 12" de 500 Vatios RMS.

Ese bajo suena durísimo, ¿Qué cajón le pusiste?.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Stuart Allsop : Sorry, but in this context "powered" does not to mean "potencia". It means that the power amplifier is built into the speaker. This is an "active" sub-woofer. In sound engineering, speakers with built-in amps are called "cajas/bocinas/parlantes activas".
