In building my home theater recently I needed a sub that looked nice, wasnt too big but also sounded good and wasnt terribly expensive. Enter the H100, it fit all of those criteria to a "T".
The high gloss black finish and grill look great, the sub doesnt take up too much room (which is nice for us as we live in a condo) and was a good value.
The sound is wonderful for home theater and is respectable for music. If you primarily listen to music there are probably some other subs in this price range that may suit you better. For home theater though I think this is as good as it gets for the price. Now as you move up in budget there are a LOT of great subs out there starting in the $350+ range but not everyone has that kind of money. For those looking for a good "starter" sub, Id highly recommend this one.

Having just purchased the H-100 after reading a few reviews on it, I am very satified with my purchase. Admittedly, it wasnt as heavy as I thought it would be however, this is a GREAT home theatre sub for the price.
Upon receiving it from UPS, I hooked it up into my existing system (powered by a Yamaha HTR-5550 receiver) and loaded in Master & Commander. When the action scenes hit, this sub literally shakes the walls of my apartment and you actually feel the "hits" of the cannonballs in the chest. Literally. For home theatre, this sub is very tight and punchy, with the lowest bass notes (I think that its called "LFE") projecting out into the room with a lot of "hit".
For music, I think it is a little boomy, but if you using a good media player (I run a coaxial line out from my PC soundcard straight into the Yamaha receiver), you can use the equalizer in the media program to iron out some of the boom - after which, it sounds GREAT.
All in all, this is a great performing, aesthetically pleasing sub, that is great value for the dollar. IMO, it is well worth checking out @ this price point and to date, I am very happy with the purchase.

I was very hesitant to buy this speaker but I had just lost my old one and money was very tight, so I didnt have much of a choice. I researched it at Bics web page and every audio page that I could come up with. I didnt read one negitive thing about it. The only thing I could say that may turn someone away, would be that this is a sub for a normal,(small to medium) size room.
The encloser, grill and speaker all look very high quality, very nice fit and finish.
The sound that comes out is quite good, of course your placment will change the sound to your own tastes.
I have it set up to about one half volume and to the parameters of my receiver, it fills my room with full rich bass and responds beautifully to movies, I turn it down for music because I dont really like my music with bass as the focus.
