Sound of reason, December 1, 2008
I tried thwo different sub woofer before settling for this one. I have the Polk Audio rm10 5 speaker set, for my room size is rather small(18'x12') and its a townhome so I have to keep things low, you know what I mean. The first one I tried after reading a barrage of good reviews in Amazon is Polk PSW 10, which to be very honest with you should not be called a sub woofer, because it all it does is some rumble sound and no base, next I tried the HSU STF-1, which I must say a fantastic product, had I have a bigger room and more powerful speaker set I would have settled for it, but my speakers were too small for it, so I finally ordered the Bic 1020, after researching that it has almost similar spec as with the STF-1, and boy what a choice, it is a perfect match for my system. The base is perfect and also comes with a frequency adjustment knob which helps you to fine tune the base output from your system. In case you are wondering I use a Yamaha 6130 Receiver. I would recommend this sub woofers to everyone, you can't beat this performance to the price they offer it.

Nice for the money, November 21, 2008
A solid product for the money. Has volume control, frequency crossover control, automatic off/on, etc. Plenty of power to "shake the windows" on movies, etc. Adds good very low bass to music, etc. Fairly clean sound, but, like many subwoofers, doesn't add bass much above the lowest frequencies...so, if you buy really cheap bookshelf speakers, that can't supply some lower bass, you'll have some gaps. I'm running this subwoofer with some Polk TSi speakers (surprisingly great speakers for the money...good bass too) for a home theater, and it's a nice combo.
Note color is a slightly "silvery" black...not a pure black.
P.S. I tried one of the lowest end Polk subwoofers and was very disappointed...just not enough power to do much of anything (no "window rattling" bass for movies, etc.).

More thump, less money, April 30, 2009
This unit replaced a KLH 10" E10 subwoofer, and MAN, what a difference!
The V1020's workmanship seems great; a nice polished ash-grey woodgrain finish, beveled edges, perfect fit & finish -- it feels very solid. I almost went for the V1220, but it was a little too large for the intended spot in my bedroom. This unit actually has a slightly smaller footprint than the KLH; it fits perfectly next to my system.
The V1020's auto-on works much better than the KLH's, too - it rarely drops the receiver's sub signal, even at lower volumes. I like the fact that the BIC has a selectable input - you can choose whether or not to use the internal crossover.
I really like the sound! The KLH was very boomy and flabby-sounding, but this unit's bass is tight and focused - very precise - and it goes plenty low for me (the specs say it goes down to 26Hz).
If BIC's other speakers are as well-made and great-sounding as this sub, I might just have to replace the rest of my speakers!
