Sounds Good, It's fine for our needs, it just doesn't knock your socks off. However the Geek Guys that installed it were fantastic and very helpful. They are much appreciated. Thank You Best Buy

This sub was recommended by Magnolia staff at BB. I wanted a subwoofer to work well with my Paradigm 5 speaker setup. I do a lot of music listening and that feature was very important. I also love good movies so it needed to work well in that area too. The subwoofer is easily one of the most important speakers in a home theater setup. It's also great with a stereo setup as that really low, underlying sound can only be achieved with a good subwoofer. The setup was so easy too! Just plug in the LFE cable out from the receiver to the input on the back of the sub and plug it in. So thats the easy part... I researched subs and sub placement for about 6 months prior to purchase. It was very important to me that the sound output from the sub NOT just rumble the floors and walls. Since an active subwoofer is mono and omnidirectional, placement can be key. I actually designed a table configuration for it. Yes, you read that correctly, I am using it on a low, 18" wood table with steel structured legs. Think of the old sewing machine tables. They are built to handle those old heavy sewing machines and reduce vibration. That is very important! The table, desk, or shelf needs to support at least 70 lbs. or more. The ProSub 1000 clocks in at about 35 ibs. A sub, this sub, is very heavy and I did not want any chance of it falling! So for me, placing it on the floor in a corner was not an option. The table raises the sound output to sitting at ear level. I used a 2 inch thick wood cutting board to top off the table for even more stability. All was held together greatly by using Gorilla 2 Sided Tape. The tape actually provided the stability I wanted. It is also very easy to cut and apply. After securing the table, I placed a 1 inch piece of tape under each foot measuring to keep the sub properIy aligned. I certainly did not want any obstructions blocking the sub output resulting in inferior balance. Yes, the sub balances well with the entire speaker setup. Bass waves travel in such a way that anything blocking it diminishes the output. Some may disagree, and thats ok. Ive tried it both ways and will tell you this...Placing the sub 18" up allowed me to finely tune the output. The Def Tech Pro Sub 1000 also has a passive bass radiator on the bottom that works in unison with the included 10" woofer. This plays an important role too. It's a way for the sub to perform even better making it more punchy and at even lower tones. Think of it like this... the included 10" woofer acts even better, more like a 15" woofer sound. It keeps up with all music as it blends in just great! Having a volume knob on the right front side is so convenient as well. Slight adjustments are easy to do. The main setup is done through my Pioneer Elite AVR. Your Audio Video Stereo is used to tighten everything up, so to speak. So let me say this...Try the unconventional approach! You might be very surprised. Also purchase a sound meter which can easily be found for under $20. Lastly, give the sub some time to "break-in". This is accomplished by just using it for maybe 100 hours. Need not be 100 in a row! Just a general guideline. The baffles ease up along with the speaker cone. This will provide an even more coherent, well integrated sound. This review was written after using it for about 1 month. Definitive Technology has great phone tech support if you have any questions about setup. Now its time to sit back and just enjoy those sweet, clear low bass tones! I read somewhere that a subwoofer is about 40% of a home theater speaker setup. I agree 100% with that! The Def Tech ProSub 1000 is easy to recommend AND also easily worthy of 5 out of 5 stars!

We bought this model to replace the same model we had but was about 5 years old. Unfortunately we had a power surge go through and ruin ours. This model is perfect for our living room and gives us the sound quality we like. Perfect size for a large living room.

I have purchased several sound bars with sub looking for the theatre sound but could never achieve it. This is an awesome subwoofer. I love the rich deep bass tones. I feel like son at the theatre. Love it!!!

Great choice for the price. Deep base sound. Side column control makes it easy to adjust between differ movies, shows, music.
