    Initially I was not happy with the booming sub. What makes this a 5 star review is the Auralex isolation platform...perfect. I tried every other Googled solution. I put the sub on the Auralex, turned it on and that was it....sweetness. I'm running Klipsch Heresy's, R25c center, this sub and a Denon X1400H.

    i bought this subwoofer as to be used in a 5.1 system and it is just fantastic. you can control the gain and frequency on the back which will let you decide how much bass you want. plenty of bass for my needs.

    I am really enjoying this sub. It sounds great in my small living room. After performing the auto calibration, I had to lower the volume quite a bit because it was shaking the upstairs floor and "bothering" other family members.

    Awesome subwoofer. Had previously purchased 2 polk audio psw108 for my yamaha receiver, sounded muddy and very week (I'm a basshead) . Returned polk audios and purchased this awesome subwoofer and sound twice as better as both polk audio. Nice deeeeep clean bass for music and home theatre. Greatly recommend this sub

    I was very happy with my new subwoofer. I hooked it up to my stereo system and decided to see what it could do so I played some bass music and had to turn it down because it was thumping so hard it was knocking things off my wall. I can't wait to get the speakers that go along with my subwoofer.

    I saved the best for last. With Klipsch, you know you're getting one of the best. Guaranteed quality. This subwoofer is now the best part of my Home Theater setup. So powerful. Really enhances my at home movie experience. To quote The Big Lebowski, " This Subwoofer really ties my home theater room together".

    My technician hooking up the hard wired surround sound in the home we have purchased needed a sub-woofer compatible with my system. He recommended the Klipsch. I went to Best Buy, you had it, demonstrated it for me, wrote it up, and loaded it in my car, all in 15 minutes. The sound is amazing. Thanks Best Buy.

    Picked this up on the Black Friday sale and couldn't be more pleased. Usually a 450.00 Subwoofer and got it for almost half off! Got this to pair with my other sub to complete a 5.2 surround sound and needless to say there is a little more rumble!

    I bought these almost a year ago, they are connected to an old AVR, i will upgrade this year. they are loud clear sound amazing. i have compared them to many other speakers on the market but for the price you cannot beat the quality. the center channel delivers a wide response and range of sound.

    this sub-woofer is so smooth its a wonderful listening pleasure. I certainly don't miss those annoying crackling, popping, and shattering low bass enemies so often heard by lesser speakers. you might be amazed to listen to this GEM, yourself.

    I needed a new subwoofer to replace my old and dying JBL subwoofer. This one fits the bill very well and outperformed my old subwoofer. Sound quality is above what is expected at this price level. Highly recommend for both music and movie applications. One is good, but two is always better!

    Powerful subwoofer that will surprise you with its performance. Have been looking at other higher watts subwoofers thinking that the higher the number the better performance. You will have to look no further, but I warm you that you will have to lower the power to half. This has one loud and deep bass.

    This sub sounds good. It has clean undistorted base. Looks nice. Easy install. I have an older 10 in ground firing sub, it does have more room shaking and deeper Bass. But it's 6 years. My old sub has deeper, rumbling Bass. This sub my new sub, has great sound and it's clean and crisp.

    This subwoofer is really great. When I watch movies it makes my heart shake. I have a pretty open floor plan and the sound is phenomenal. When I have friends come over for appetizers and drinks I turn this on and they are very surprised the amount of sound that comes out of that small box.

    I compared this sub to the Bowers & Wilkins and for the price you can't beat it. Serious power from this sub! I have it set at about 30% power because more shakes my kitchen. I paired this with the Irish Red Audioquest cable. The cable eliminated distortion and made all the difference. Highly recommended!

    The Sub sounds good. It is nice looking and really enjoy the volume buttons to have as little or as much base as you would like. If I had to do it over, I would buy the same sub for the price. Don't cheap out and get a less expensive sub, because you won't get the bass you are looking for.

    Really shakes the walls and only have it one third cranked up. I read reviews on this sub they were absolutely correct on the comments i read . Sound is amazing and its not even broke in yet. Have not pushed it past half power yet. Plus I got it for half price which even makes it a sweeter deal.
