Does everything I would expect a subwoofer to do. Once you have your speaker and subwoofer crossover settings dialed in it provides the punch you need for music or surround sound effects during movie watching. Many times it has made me jump during action scenes and provides that chest punch. Mine is paired with other JBL speakers and the MA710 AVR in my 5.1.2 system and it works seamlessly with them.

Im sure would have been a 5 Star, so i put 5. Never got a chance to use it, as i didnt realize its not bluetooth ready. Wired only. So I returned sadly, and decided to bite the bullet and spend a little more to upgrade my soundbar to the JBLBar1000MK.

I read a lot of opinions on forward firing vs down firing on cement slab floors. Our HT is in our basement so we have LVP over a cement basement floor. It is paired with a Yamaha Dolby Atmos AVR and I could not be happier with the sound performance. I have the crossover set at 80Hz on the sub as well as in my AVR. The sub volume is set to about 70% (rep at the Best Buy store was spot on--he said with this sub on a slab floor, 70%-80% would be the ideal level). My only complaint is I have to set my AVR sub level to +10 db, but I suspect this has to do with the room materials. We don't listen to music on the system. We did a Star Wars marathon and the lows hit right where I remember them. We have the unit placed about 2/3 between the LF and the screen facing outward, approx 6" from the wall to allow the rear ports to move air. The bass is uniform with no indication of direction. Very satisfied with the purchase.

Packs a great punch perfect for my living room I enjoy movies and live concerts.

Overall a good sounding subwoofer for your home theater. I got this to replace my JBL es250p as the amp failed. This appears to be the newer version as I still wanted a 12 inch sub. Bass is good. I would have liked the system to have an on off switch to turn the amp off when not in use.

Excellent, has been great!!! Easy install and set up!

This JBL bass speaker absolutely rocks! The low-end is super deep, clean, and powerful — you can feel every beat without it sounding muddy. I hooked it up to my home setup, and it instantly made movies and music sound way more alive.

The subwoofer has really good sound. It is plenty loud for my tastes and was simple to hook up and use. It is a nice upgrade from my old one.

Solidly built, plenty of power for my apartment. Helps to fill out the low freqs for 2001 a Space Odyssey.

Excellent sound and the size is perfect. Had to replace an old Bose . This one works great

Only got it on sale. Don't think it's worth it at full price. But yeah this thing rumbles and shakes.

I kinda wish it bumped a little more when the settings for bass are down but when you turn up the bass on the amp it goes pretty good. Too bad it doesn't have a bass knob on the sub box itself.

Great product. Quality sound at a fair price. Love the looks of the grey.

This was my first time buying this product and it is awesome. The base is awesome!!!

Great Subwoofer. Has very deep base reflex. Fitts together well with my Onkyo receiver.

i'm satisfied for my listening i only have the ma310 reciever with only a 50 watt so there's no real hard bass pounding but it's fills my needs

Great sub for a small 12ft x 12ft office space with the option for tuning.

Pretty standard setup, very easy. Using it for watching movies. 12" really helps on the really low end. Easy to adjust settings though they are on the back and frequent modifying can be annoying. Good Value.

The best sounding system I've ever had...I think using mobile app helped adjust the sound was very useful and movies bouncing off the walls create a thrilling environment for thunder some sounds like you never heard before...I strongly suggest this system with JBL stereo...it's the best

This JBL subwoofer has superpassed my expectations by far. Hitting the deep lows with punch filling the room with its vibrant sounds. Would highly recommend
