    I waited for this to go on sale because I really did not need it for my stereo system, because my from speakers have large subwoofers themselves. However, I wanted to check that box and I bought this. Works well except I need to figure out how to calibrate the auto on feature because it doesn’t always cycle on, when I want it on and have the other speakers working.

    This sub is very loud and reaches some lower frequencies than most of the subs I looked at. However, at loud volumes the bass does not stay crisp and clean. It can actually get rather distorted at loud volumes, which is a turnoff. I got this for $100 and don't think it is worth any more than that.

    This item goes on sale on and off. It is a 6 Ohm speaker so remember to get the right speaker wire gauge and set receiver to 6 Ohms if necessary, and to update your receiver that you have a subwoofer.
