I connected this subwoofer through rg-6(coaxial) to my receiver over 30' of cable and it sounds great. The sub itself is only 7"s high, but it is much longer than I expected. The sub itself sounds clean and definelty powerful enough for a 15x15 living room. It is most likely too tall to place under most normal sofas, but it looks pretty unintrusive, so it is not the eyesore that a normal big subwoofer is. he connecters offer both RCA and speaker wire, which is nice. The controls are easily accessible to adjust the levels. Pretty high up it compared with my old Sony 12" sub, but is much more compact and the sound was actually a lot cleaner, of course it does not put out as much DEEP DEEP bass because it is only at 8" speaker. The case itself fits on either its side of on its feel. te only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because it is unusually long, like I said. I am sure it is neccessary for the airspace needed, it just isn't that apparent fromt he pictures

I used this sub for about two years and recently sold it - so I do have experience with it. It is marketed as low profile, and it is, sorta, not quiet as compact as one would think. And although it is low to the ground (you can also stand it upright with stands that come with it - a nice touch), it is long, so I think in many applications the cube form most other subs come in may actually work better, take up less space. I think it provided a lot of bass irregardless of it's size, even compared to 10" and 12" subs. So much bass, and lose bass that I found it too much, and way to muddled. One would think a smaller sub would offer a tighter bass note. Construction is average, not so great finish. Paper cone and surround - although many others are also. If you can get this for $100 great, but when you start closing in on $200 better options are out there. This does not pair up well in most surround sound systems, home theater setups. I would give it a thumbs up for boomy bass for hip hop tracks, but not more "nuanced" listeners.

My wife sent me on a mission, a mission to purchase a subwoofer to replace the monlith subwoofer that was in our 20x15 Living room/Dining room. Went by the local CC and picked up the Lolita. I have it placed on top of a 6 foot entertainment center and my wife has covered it with appropriate decor. You really have to look for it. I have people try to find it when I they come over. As for the performace of the speaker, the bass is more than enough for easy to medium level music and works perfectly enough for movies. Yea, it's not a 12", but for what it is designed for, it is a 5 star product. If you want a subwoofer that is easy to hide and will fill out the lower spectrum of whatever you are listening to, this is the product.

I chose this subwoofer because it's unique design fit in perfectly with the furniture I have in my small-ish viewing room. The 7" height made allowed it to sit underneath the cabinet that my receiver and dvd player reside in. I was willing to sacrifice some level of performance if I could find a sub to fit in the available area, but I am happy to say that as it turns out, no sacrifice was necessary. I have had this sub for around a month now and have had the opportunity to evaluate it with a variety of media. It replaced a larger Yamaha sub and so far has outperformed it in every aspect.

Movie explosions are deep and loud while music is very satisfying. In watching the movie Stardust, the effects, fighting ooomph and running horses were all thumping and far superior to the Yamaha. However, big bangs are easy and most subwoofers can pull that off. A little more difficult is the ability to satisfy musically, and I can say that in this respect the Lolita also delivers. Neil Young's Heart of Gold, while not exactly hard rocking, sounds great with awesome reproduction of the deep bass lines in Harvest Moon and Prairie Wind. Peter Gabriel's Growing Up tour DVD sounds great and Depeche Mode, which can really tax a subwoofer sounded way more musical and exciting than ever as compared to the Yamaha.

In closing, this sub is highly recommended for those who wish to hide a sub under an existing piece of furniture while maintaining high sound quality. It may not be suitable for very large rooms, but for mid to small sized home theaters the MTX Lolita is a very solid performer. This is my first experience with the MTX brand and I am happy to say that so far it has been a good one.

I bought this to round out my HTS and it is great. I wanted something that would fit inside a cabinet and be out of site, but I only had 8.5" of height. This subwoofer fit in the space perfectly. It is long though, about 23" long, so it took up almost the entire shelf. The bass is deep and rich, and really adds to television, movies and music. You won't rattle your neighbors windows, but you'll definitely be surprised at the "lows" the Lolita offers. It was a very good purchase and I would buy it again.

we had this for a very long time but never used but when i found it in my garage.... i should have used this a long time a go. right now im only using it my xbox but i cant turn the thing even half way up cause it has a big boom! the only problem with it is you can hear people or conversation very lightly and sounds like its underwater when they talk but i guess if u turn ur tv up to a certain point u cant hear it but other than that this thing is great!
