    Perfect subwoofer. Sound is great and handles even the deepest bass. Well worth the money! I recommend at least 2 of these for room balance, but not required. This handles its own, I promise you!

    This is by far the best subwoofer I've had, it's my fourth one, it is very powerful and has no problem producing the rich bass tones that I need to Accent my Altec Lansing dual 6in Tower speakers

    Booming bass, might need to upgrade my other speakers to keep up with this beast. Easy setup, looks great, and the clearance price I paid for it was a steal. If you can still find one, grab it!

    Bass drops much fast than my eight does. See my scale review for confirmation. This sub is amazing and works like a boss with my other speakers. Massive fan.

    Better then I expected and the subwoofer itself is way bigger then I thought. It literally shakes the room. Definitely would buy again well worth it, and even better purchased when it was on sale.

    Wasnt sure about this subwoofer at first, because I'm not familiar with the name brand and was skeptical on the pricing, but I purchased two different subwoofers for my surround sound, and wasnt quite satisfied. So when I went to return my previous sub to best buy, I noticed this bad boy on the return shelf... from the mouth of the rep, this brand sub gets returned quite often, but not sure why... anywho, I took a chance on it and said to myself, at the very worst, I can just return it... nooo wayyyyy am I returning it... it sounded beyond perfect with my system, in my size place.. I was upset with myself fro bot trying it the first time around and eliminating all the extra headache... definately a BEST BUY!

    I purchased 2 of these on Black Friday for half price ,they work good in my new media room setup. They work great for movies and TV . They fill the room with bass when you want it.

    I recently set up a smaller gaming home entertainment system using a receiver I had totally forgotten I had. As part of that I "borrowed" the sub 2 in my main living room 5.2.4 system. I purchased this sub to get back to 2 subs in my main system with this one being my new sub 1. After some tinkering with levels (I didn't rerun audyssey ) this sub definitely completes the system. The only note is that I backed down the volume to a little more than one third. Higher than that and voices get drowned out a little in talk shows like sport center. I definitely would recommend this. Each individual can adjust setting to their taste -- and it is on sale. Btw, I got a further price reduction thanks to a price match.
