This is a very nice subwoofer. It certainly has added an extra dimension to what was already a nice home theater system I have. Really great with DVD movies. That first big shoot-out scene in Predator really kicks when Ventura opens up with the min-gun :-) Sounds equally as good with music input. Was easy to connect, though I had to add some speaker wire and since I did I just replaced all the old wires anyway. My only misapprehension came while watching the movie The Haunting. Not sure what it was but some noises came out that sounded like the subwoofer was rattling a little bit! Or maybe it was just part of the sound effects, who knows? Not to worry, this sub works just great. (By the way I hardly ever give 5 stars on anything, he he)

I PURCHASED THIS POWERED SUBWOOFER ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TURN IT OFF SINCE. THE AUDIOSORCE SUB IS PROBABLY THE BEST PURCHASE I HAVE MADE IN MY HOME THEATER SYSTEM. I DONT HAVE $1,000 TO GO OUT AND SPEND ON ONE COMPONENT OF MY SYSTEM SO I GAVE THIS SUB A TRY. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE GAIN AND LEVEL CONTROLS THAT GAVE ME FULL CONTROL OVER HOW MY SUB WILL SOUND. I READ A REVIEW OF SOMEONE SAYING THEY HEARD A RATTLE COMING FROM THE SUB DURING A CERTAIN MOVIE, BELIEVE ME IT WAS MOST LIKELY JUST DOORS, WINDOWS, OR HIS TEETH RATTLING FROM THE TREMENOUS BASS COMING FROM THIS MASSIVE 10", 100 WATT, AMPLIFIED SUBWOOFER.

I have had this sub for well over 2 years now, and I can safely say that I was underwhelmed from the moment I listened to it. The bass is boomy and uncontrolled. The rattling the other reviewer heard was most likely the sub un-loaded and bottoming out while trying to reproduce really low frequency notes (Anything under 35hz really. This thing sucks.) All in all, very unimpressed.
