Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With a 15-inch speaker driver and 350 watts of rump-kicking power, the JBL PSW-D115 powered subwoofer promises to deliver tight, clean bass while freeing your amplifier to do a better job with the midrange and high frequencies. The sub's ability to deliver solid bass down to 25 Hz helps transform your stereo system into a powerful home theater system, producing sound waves that you feel as well as hear.

The JBL PSW-D115's high-output digital amplifier exhibits lower distortion than conventional amplifiers. Adjustable low-pass and high-pass controls allow the subwoofer to seamlessly blend with any speaker system.

Direct Input bypasses the internal crossovers for use with Dolby Digital and DTS receivers and processors, which already include the subwoofer crossover. Alternately, you can feed the sub from the speaker-level outputs on your amplifier or receiver, passing everything above 180 Hz on to your speakers from the PSW-D115's speaker-level outputs and letting the sub handle the heavy-duty bass work.

The PSW-D115 measures 20 by 20 by 21.75 inches. The speaker includes a one-year warranty on the speaker amplifier, a two-year parts and labor warranty on the speaker enclosures, and a five-year parts and labor warranty on the driver and internal components.

3.0 out of 5 stars For Home Theatre Lovers Only, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: JBL PSW-D115 350-Watt Powered Subwoofer (Electronics)

This behemoth (weighs around 80 Lbs.) will certainly provide more than enough bass for most home theatre systems, all the way down to 20 hertz...bass you can not only hear but FEEL..the video contour button and front volume control are a nice touch.

However, this is not the most musical of subwoofers as it takes sophisticated electronics (servo control) to keep a 15 inch driver from distorting and enable it to provide quick, tight, punchy bass

If you will be using it for mostly music, I would recommend a smaller 10" sub that can provide a better reproduction of that all important mid and highs.

But if home theatre is your game and you have a large room to fill (20'x15'), this sub is a great place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Product But Usually Overpriced., May 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: JBL PSW-D115 350-Watt Powered Subwoofer (Electronics)

This subwoofer provides great home theater bass performance. It does, however, tend to get a bit sloppy on some types of music. I would recommend this product to anyone who loves low, extended bass response though...but wait for it to go on sale.

This review is from: JBL PSW-D115 350-Watt Powered Subwoofer (Electronics)

i purchased this unit with hopes of experiencing the true essence of low frequency response.this item delivers it's expected purpose. i bought a 10-inch model three years ago. i was so impressed by this model,i use it with my home theater system . the 10inch model can produce low frequencies more accurately than most 12-15 models of other brands out there.this lead to my curiosity about a larger jbl sub unit .i've owned and used this unit for a year , it never dissapointed me.i hope your neighbors are nice people ,you'll be gettin lots of visits and calls from them, trust me. my only problem with this unit is it's size , it's huge and kind of awkward. placement of this unit is a very easy task, it fills the room with exceptional low end virtually anywhere you place it . without getting all technical,i hope this information is helpful.
