I must say that I was very impressed with the low end extension of this subwoofer. Placement was relatively easy, and the instruction manual was detailed, yet concise. The bass is deep and tight, not muddy or boomy. I have listened with both music and movie/dvd sources and have been blown away by the chest thumping bass this thing puts out. I had done my research before buying this sub and feel that it is a bargain for the money. ... This sub has a great combination of deep, controlled bass and a great price. With this subwoofer you get what you pay for and more.

I bough this sub about a month ago and I am fairly satisfied with its performance. It works will with my Home Theatre System and movies ound great with it. However it is a bit lacking if you like to listen ot bass-heavy music like rap or dance. A bit of 'boominess' sets in at frequencies below 70 Hz and the volume has to be quite low for it perform decently at under 40Hz. Overall Im fairly satisfied with my purchase but I do think this sub is a tad overpriced for the level of performance it gives. So be sure to shop around before you make a decision on buying this product

Over all, a very good sub, but keeping in mind its price tag, not a good value. It delivers good clean deep bass, expecially good at high volumes. It would definitely complete a high-end system. My problem is that for half the money, most people can get a sub that would fit nicely in a big room and deliver high-end quality sound. Not something to purchase without hearing first, but if the money is there, you will be happy.

I was fortunate enough to find this sub 2nd hand in crisp condition a couple of months ago, and I am truly blown away by the deep register this speaker will produce. Current Subwoofers may be a lot smaller, but nothing compares to real high-end oversized 300watts pushing 15 inch kevlar/paper. This thing will complete any Home Theatre lacking the lowest frequencies, and / or make your neighbour hate you for real...

I can only listen to this at 1/3 max volume. Heart-throbbing base indeed, and at 67% of the original 2001 shelf price. Old technology--I did not wince at. While I may be pleased as punch with the audio capacity of this devise, I still am not altogether pleased with the fact that it was a USED item, and that was not indicated on the Amazon ad page.

This guy matches up well with my system in addition to an existing JBL Sub10.
