Faulty open box item
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this because it was a great deal as an open box item. But it turned out to be faulty. It produced a rumbling noise for a few minutes after receiving signal. I unplugged the subwoofer rca feed and it still rumbled. The Definitive representative said it was bad. I returned it to Best Buy for my money back, no problem.

Worst purchase ever made.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the Pro Cinema 600 surround system and wanted to replace the subwoofer with the 800. I purchased this as a open item as Best Buy stated it was in "EXCELLENT" condition. Really????? Unfortunately it was a paper weight as it wouldn't even powerup. Box was in such terrible shape I can't even believe they shipped it like that. Several rips and holes in the box and NO receipt was included. Whoever tested and certified this as "EXCELLENT" hopefully doesn't work there anymore so the next person doesn't get screwed like I did! I wasted 2 hours checking/tweaking my receiver settings and it was nothing but a dud!!! Some type of compensation should have been offered toward a new one for all this trouble.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 8 inch is a little small I really should have done the 10inch.

I get better bass from a trash can lid and a spoon
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered the ProSub 800 as an addition to a set of bookshelf speakers. It arrived today. I immediately tied it into the bookshelf speakers and amps and sources and fired it up. Underwhelming would be too kind. No matter what level (apart from off) I set the sub at, it rattled like a hail storm on a tin roof. Concerned it might be my equipment I cycled my other subs and speakers across the same setup. Everything was good except this sub. Returning it tomorrow first thing.

It's OK
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performs OK. Prettier than most. Volume control on the side seems a strange place to put it. Way to expensive for what it provides

Powerful and Smooth
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sub is very capable of producing some big and powerful sounds but I had to keep turning the volume down to better match my speakers. Bass has great impact and is very smooth. Couldn't have asked for a better match for my q100. Although not mentioned anywhere, the sub I received surprisingly had a power switch on the back.

Small size, big bass! You wont be disappointed!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this little guy paired up with my pro800 fronts, pro600 surrounds, and procenter1000, running through a Pioneer AVR, and the bass is thundering! These subs are so small and easy to hide, but dont let size fool you, they generate massive power! Just watch a battle scene from Gladiator, or LOTR for instance and you will feel it reverberate through your chest! They work best if you run your front speakers through the back and then through the receiver, which may be a little extra wiring but well worth the hassle in IMO. They look very nice as well. Crossover works perfectly and auto on and off makes it easy and works flawlessly unlike some other brands i have had before. Get one if you can!
