Ive been in the market for awhile to get a sub for my home theather project,wanting the best sound i could afford. Having purchased everything separately, the BOSE 301S AND the smaller Bose surround speakers still did,nt cut it until i purchased this monster now ive filled that hole or void, it really brought everything together, it cranks...when i opened the box there was some damage to one of the top corners, checked it out anyway,liked it, called amazon back with my disappointment they gave me 50.00 back, it works great, sounds ausum cant even see the slight damage because of the placement pleased all around.excellent product.

This was, quite virtually, an impulse buy.....I had been wanting an INEXPENSIVE subwoofer that I could use to reinforce only the bottom octave in my project studio (digital multitrack, so forth). My Alesis powered monitors tried their best to portray the bottom end, but my mixes almost always came out way too boomy, when played back on other systems, on in a car. So, I ordered this, knowing Id probably have to stuff the cabinet on arrival, according to almost every other reviewer Id read. Taking the driver and the amp module out was no problem; lo and behold, there was the "power puff sized" piece of fiberfill that several others had described....totally ineffective. The sub cabinet is actually particle board, NOT medium density fibreboard (MDF), as described.....it would be notably heavier, and way less resonant if it were. Anyway, after lining the cabinet walls with some left over Auralex (egg crate foam would work just as well, and be a LOT cheaper!), I loosely stuffed the cabinet with dacron fiber fill(this, in effect, causes the driver to "see" a slightly larger cabinet than actually is there, so long as you dont over-stuff it). I used speaker caulk (a black rope caulk) to re-seal both the driver, and the amp module, and TADA! Not bad at all! Im running the crossover somewhere around 50Hz, and with corner-loading this little jewel, Ive got the volume set no higher than one fourth. After about an hour of demoing about a dozen various CDs, I was able to blend the AudioSource and the Alesis monitors pretty well. Its every bit as "forward" sounding as my Klipsch sub on my home theatre system, and honestly, not nearly as "tubby". BOTTOM LINE IS THIS: For well less than [money], a bit of acoustic foam and spray glue, you cant beat it. Dont drive it wide open, and it should perform just fine. Im very satisfied with it.

I purchase this subwoofer at the Friday Sale when my KLH 8-inch woofer died after 2 1/2 years of service. All I can say is WOW! The sound difference is incredible, with the lows now thundering. Dont worry, purchase and you wont have any regrets.

So, I paid around (dollar amount)for this sub. It is AWESOME at that price, and I would not hesitate to pay (dollar amount) for it. I am somewhat of an audiophile on a budget and this sub compromises nothing. It is a truly exceptional value.

i bought this about 10 months ago and it has been great. but i ran it hard the whole time and it blew last night, so now im going to replace the woofer with a more powerful car sub. hehe... i came across it when looking to make sure that its 8 ohm impedence, so i decided to comment on its durability under heavy use...

I bought one of these just because of the reviews it had received. This sub beats the socks off my old Radio Shack sub which died. The lows are superb especially in music which is a true test of a sub. You cant beat this for the money.

I ordered this product online on a Wednesday night and it arrived Friday morning, and thats with standard shipping. Great sound, especially for movies. On screen explosions and jet blasts shake the walls. You wont find another sub with frequency responses down to 23hz and a 150 watt amp in this price range. Nice compact enclosure fits well in any sized room.
