Solid 12" subs that work great in pairs.
The JBL Stage 220P is part of the Stage 2 set of speakers from JBL. This series is budget friendly, but up-market in looks, with nice veneer, magnetic detachable grilles, and premium overall feel make these a contender in many homes. Is the 220P worth the cash in the mid low-end sub market though? Both units I purchased were open box models, but BestBuy appeared to ship me new units. Neither had been removed from the box and were still factory sealed. Inside the box is pretty basic stuff, including documentation, metal pegs for carpet installation, and the unit itself and grille. My application is paring 2 of these Stage 220p subwoofers with 260F floor standing speakers and a 245c center channel for the front portion of my 7.2.4 Atmos setup. These are placed next to the 260F speakers under my projector screen. The room is an a shape with sloped vaulted ceilings that meet for about 8ft of flat ceiling in the middle. These subwoofers align in the center to help produce even bass in the room. With only one subwoofer, I found large dead spots (not a fault of the 220p, but of the room design). The Stage 220p is easy to work with in most home theater installations. It supports RCA subwoofer level input, which is pretty standard these days. There is a separate volume control, cross over adjust, power mode (On or Auto), Phase (normal or reverse), and a switch for the power supply mode (120v or 220v, which comes locked to 120v unless you remove some screws). Most modern receivers will allow you to adjust the crossover for the subwoofer channel, but it's nice that this unit has an adjustable crossover if you want to tune it w/ a sound bar, or other non-home theater receiver. Installation was a breeze. My Marantz receiver has dual subwoofer outputs, so I'm able to tune individual volumes at the receiver, however each subwoofer has its own volume control. I pushed both of these to about 80% volume on the subwoofers themselves, and my Audeseey calibration put them at -12db. This felt a bit anemic after watching a few scenes and I wonder if it was characteristics of the room that caused this calibration issue (or maybe I just like boomy bass). After calibration, and further 'tweaking' in which I moved the subwoofers to -2db, I set out with some scene watching/calibrations. These speakers may not be high end $1k units, but the dual port design and large 12" driver coupled with a powerful 250w amp make them a force to be reckoned with. I found 25hz just audible, but these subwoofers can produce non-audible frequencies that you want in a home theater. I didn't find them overly boomy, unless I cranked the volume higher. These subwoofers are a dual ported design, and thus can be a bit sloppier than a sealed design. The tradeoff is great volume, and decent frequency response. The 12" drivers are definitely capable. Again, I found them quite responsive and complementary to the rest of the Stage 2 equipment I've purchased. They sound quite nice, and I found them excellent for both music and movies (with a definite lean towards movies). I'm certainly no audiophile, but I felt like for the price these definitely filled my room with the bass I crave for a home theater. I have a dedicated room for media watching, so their size is no problem for me. The fact they match the Stage 2 260F speakers so well means ascetically they match quite well. The espresso color with black grilles matches the rest of the room's vibe quite well. I received my floor standing Stage 2 260F speakers as part of a promotion/review program, but the 245c and both 220p's I purchased out of pocket. Overall while some reviewers have panned this series, properly powered, and calibrated I've been quite happy. They offer a lot more power and volume of sound compared to my old speakers. Overall I won't say they're five stars. I feel like these compete with a lot of other budget units, and while they have some more control, and a bit higher quality than some competitors in this range, they're also quite a bit more expensive. These are mid-way to a higher end sub - which for my budget theater application are perfect. I need loud, responsive, big boom speakers, and two of these completely cover my movie listening area with ease.

Great sound for the price
At under $400, the subwoofer has a nice boom and punchy feel in the seat. Not so much in love with the front cover not the fabric one but the actual subwoofer lip.

Powerful Subwoofer
JBL’s Stage 220P subwoofer is great looking, includes useful controls, and packs an amazing punch. Description The Stage 220P has a 12-inch ribbed cone low frequency woofer driven by an internal power amplifier that provides 300 watts RMS, 500 watts peak. The speaker’s +/- 6dB frequency response is from 26 Hz to 150 Hz, with a variable crossover control from 50 Hz to 150 Hz. There is also a volume control, as well as phase and auto-power selections. The enclosure features bass reflex tuning via dual rear-firing flared tuned ports. The cabinet is 16.4 inches high, 15.9 inches wide, 17.5 inches deep and weighs 41.2 lbs. The grill cover is held to the front plate with magnets that do a great job properly positioning the grill cover and hold it securely in place. The subwoofer has a line-level LFE (Low Frequency Effect) input intended to be driven from an AVR (Audio/Video Receiver) subwoofer pre-amp output through a single-ended RCA subwoofer cable. It requires AC power. Impressions The subwoofer cabinet has a beautiful and expensive looking finish and grill cover, which is nice because subwoofers are generally difficult to tuck away somewhere! The Stage 220P produces an amazing home theater experience. It can absolutely shake the house, producing the kind of movie theater low-frequency experience that you feel as well as hear. The subwoofer power switch has two settings, ON and STANDBY. The auto-power STANDBY setting is great, the subwoofer stays in a low-power standby mode until it gets signal from the AVR, at which point it automatically transitions to ON. Part of my AVR setup includes speaker level balancing where a test tone is played through each speaker individually. Sound level is measured with a dB meter, and an AVR gain setting for each speaker is adjusted to obtain the same dB meter sound level from each. In the case of the subwoofer, its crossover frequency setting and volume setting also affect the measured dB level. I found that setting the subwoofer crossover frequency to 110 Hz and volume to 80% worked well. Using those settings I get balanced dB meter sound levels with the AVR subwoofer gain set to +6dB. I need to put in a good word for JBL support here. Being new to setting up a subwoofer and balancing sound levels, I was curious if there is anything unusual about my subwoofer settings with +6dB gain in the AVR. In less than 24 hours after contacting support, I got an excellent technical response via email from an experienced audio person. I learned that what I am seeing is well within normal parameters for subwoofer setup, and they also agreed that with a second subwoofer I should require less AVR gain to each. I am incredibly impressed with the speed and technical quality of the response from JBL support. This isn’t what I’ve come to expect when I contact a manufacturer with a technical question. Bravo JBL! With speaker levels balanced and AVR room EQ completed, the home theater experience is truly wonderful. Subwoofer controls made it easy to set up and adjust to my particular room, speaker and AVR requirements, and the low-frequency contribution makes an enormous difference. JBL’s Stage 220P subwoofer really delivers and is an extremely welcome addition to my home theater setup.
