Great sub for small/medium spaces
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds good. Had to turn it down actually past half way cause it would over power my speakers. I primarily use it as a gym speaker set up. I’m no audio nerd, or movie dweeb. It thumps wu tang, and rocks the double bass in heavy metal. Happy with it.

Location location
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can’t stress enough on how important it is to find the right location for a subwoofer. This one if you have it in a bad spot you will barely notice any kind affect. But once you find that sweet spot this sub will boom! You won’t regret the purchase! Great product. If I had any complaints it’s that the switches on the back aren’t so hard to read. You’ll need a flashlight or direct sun to know what’s what. But once you learn em it won’t be an issue.

Good quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this product to replace my old DCM subwoofer. I think that the sound quality and adjustability of this sub is much better. It's perfect for a small to medium sized room and is easy to set up.

It's a little thumper
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this in June of 2022 so I had it for over a year. Been using it to add some bottom in our outdoor space. It's been under an enclosed wicker chair that sits under a canopy and is still going strong even though it's not designed for outdoor use. I have small rubber feet under it to keep it off the ground. I was surprised how good it sounds. Can't go wrong for the money.

Great Subwoofer Add-on for My Record Player
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great subwoofer. Easy to connect with plenty of power. I added it to my bookshelf speakers connected to my record player to add a more dynamic sound to what I was listening to. Works great.

I like it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sub is decent for the price. This sub fits perfectly under my computer desk and blends well with my Micca bookshelf speakers. Is it perfect? No. I've heard better (and I own better), but those are more expensive and larger units. However, I like it better than anything you can buy that's actually meant for a computer...

Solid Performer
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As I was purchasing this for a secondary set up my expectations were set low as my main system featured Bowers & Wilkins and Velodyne. After hooking it up I was impressed with the room filling clarity produced from the modest 10" woofer and smallish cabinet. It doesn't have the usual muddy boom that cheap subs generally produce but a tight, responsive bass that I have come to expect from more expensive units. I like the auto-off feature but it has an irritating habit of turning itself off in the middle of a show only to come on abruptly when the action picks up. For the price, it has been a wonderful addition and I would highly recommend.

My first home theater subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far , so good. Setup was easy, and operating it was very easy. My only points of improvement would be; * Give an option to get a much longer connection cable; * Make it easier to find the manual. Great Product, look forward to using it more.

Woof woof
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m familiar with the Sony line of speakers. I had previously bought a Sony subwoofer and set of bookshelf speakers several years ago. Same sized sub as this one. Only difference is this is seems to be a little less powered. While it has great bass and response and is a great product and prices right, the older one seemed to be a wee bit better. But that could’ve just been because it was already broken in and this new one wasn’t. Having been 6 months, this newer sub is sounding incredible. More bass depth than my old Sony sub. Better priced too! I still kick myself for not buying a second one.

Great for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy this subwoofer so much I bought two almost a year apart from each other. Not as a replacement but to add to the already considerable power of my system. Good range, clarity, and power, for a reasonable price.

Bring in the Bass!
||Posted .

Comes with a built in amplifier and cross over to tune the speaker.

Good for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price it is a very good subwoofer. It’s nice and clear. I didn’t think it would sound that great but it do. I mostly use it to play call of duty games and it almost gave me PTSD because how clear it sounds
