Convenient level and crossover-frequency controls and a phase switch let you tailor the E250P's performance to your room acoustics or taste.

The E250P is available with an attractive Black Ash, Beech or Cherry finish.

Great Sub, Great Price,
By
This review is from: JBL Northridge E250P 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer with 250-Watt Digital Amplifier, Single (Black Ash) (Electronics)
I have this sub paired with JBL E30 satelites, JBL E C35 center, JBL E N24WII for surrounds and a Yamaha RX-V767 AV receiver/amp.
This sub is the star of my new HT/stereo setup. I use this system in my main family/great room for music 60% of the time and surround system for movies 40%, and this sub does great for both. This speaker has great lows (real low) for movies etc, it will engualf the room with bass, and it has great, tight bass - punch for music. I listen to everything from Sade & Rick Braun to Korn & Tool and this speaker does great at whatever it is asked to do. I think the front firing configuration on this sub is more accurate and predictable than the typical down firing subs. Bottom line - if you have the space for this (it is big, the only possible negative about it) buy this subwoofer you will not be dissapointed!

This review is from: JBL Northridge E250P 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer with 250-Watt Digital Amplifier, Single (Black Ash) (Electronics)
This sub is on the low end of the spectrum of powered subs for your home theatre. By far the best feature is the cost. Decent entry level sub but not by any means stunning in performance. The power rating of 400w is rated on the scale of cheap audio where they try to sell to people who think.. wow i'm getting x,000 watts for how much? So dont let the 400w fool you, its really much lower than stated.
As for sound, it is a ported enclosure (port vents downward) so it is a bandpass type box. Bandpass meaning that the way the enclosure is structured, it is made to pass certain frequencies well and others are extremely weak. Its very boomy on low frequencies and quite weak once you get towards the 100hz range and higher. So it is definately an addition to an existing sound system that already has mid bass covered. Bass reproduction isnt very tight, probably due to weak driver so most music is going to sound fair at best, except long bassy notes of hip-hop tracks. It does sound decent on movies where things blow up and you have long drawn out and low rumbling bass. So for home theater it isnt really too bad.. again emphasizing on you already have mid-bass on your system. The driver is so-so quality, i have a feeling that if I put a better 12" sub driver in there and closed up the port this thing would sound a lot better. My suggestion for the same cost, go with the Velodyne Acoustics CHT-12BV.

The JBL E250p is a keeper,
By
This review is from: JBL Northridge E250P 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer with 250-Watt Digital Amplifier, Single (Black Ash) (Electronics)
I have written a review on this JBL subwoofer at every possible place ever since I have opened and tested this woofer out. I must say that I was skeptical about buying a JBL because I have heard so many bad things from HSU and SV Subwoofer owners. While it goes without saying the E250p is not quite as good as the more expensive woofers, the price is more than reasonable.
When I first announced to my friends (big car audio enthusiasts)that I was in the market for a subwoofer for my home audio equipment they all said the same thing, "once you have bass you only want more." How right they were. I bought a second E250p about a month after recieving the first one. I am definately not a big technical guru, but I am big on music and true replication of the bands I listen to; whether it be a piece by vivaldi, a rap song by Missy Elliot, or a heavy metal song by Pantera. One Subwoofer replicated a symphony or bass pedal beautifully and drew you into the music, two just evened out the sound throughout the entire room. For those who prefer movies over music from their home theater setup, I personally couldn't be happier with the E250p. Whether it is the sharks of Finding Nemo, the dark ambiance of Van Helsing, or any scene of Black Hawk Down, this JBL handles it incredibly well. For video game players, all I can say is wow. Simply wow.
