A few things make this sub stand out in my mind. First the build quality is exceptional. It looks great and sounds every bit as good. Second, it’s dual opposing 12s in a sealed enclosure. Output is more consistent with a single 15 or 16 inch sub but because it’s sealed it doesn’t require a refrigerator sized cabinet. It’s much smaller than ported subs with similar output. In other words it fits much better into my living space and looks elegant. There are certainly cheaper subs out there and some of them will perform as well as this one but there are generally trade offs in build quality, size, power or speed. This sub has the best balance of all of these factors as far as I am concerned. If you are looking for LFE for movies only, you can get away with cheaper alternatives. If music is equally important however, you won’t find a better alternative. It does LFE and music equally well.

Chest-thumping, tooth-rattling. Easy Bluetooth room correction takes 2 minutes. Awesome!

This sub was easy to setup. Use your phone to calibrate.
