    Excellent addition to my home theater. Awesome, clean low frequency response considering the size.

    I've used an Infinity Sub-woofer for over 16 years and it finally went out. Figured I'd give this one a try. It's only been a month but so far, I really like it.

    Had some trouble setting it up. Couldn’t find the correct cable and even Best Buy associate was no help. Then finally got the correct cable but still wouldn’t play. Had to call DT and they were a huge help with configuring my Receiver. Sub works great and sounds awesome!

    This subwoofer has enhanced our surround sound system incredibly. I can’t thank Aaron Daigen enough for guiding us from design to installation.

    Great little subwoofer. Goes low for such a small package. Great for my PC setup with Swan D200 speakers.

    I decided on the 8" to replace decade old Def Tech 10" Pro sub and this one has breathed new life into my system. Very happy with my purchase.

    WE have to open the cabinet doors as they rattle when the subwoofer kicks in-it is very powerful.

    Plenty of low bass for such a little guy but didn't add anything to the quality of the music. The Rel T5/X doesn't go as low but sounds a lot better.
