    I added this to some book speakers I have on my system out in my shop. The base sounds great, whether it be through radio/cd/cassette tapes and YouTube.

    Decent subwoofer, it's big and it thumps. Apartment dwellers be aware: I had neighbors telling me to turn it down.

    I was replacing a very old sub since I had just purchased a new soundbar. I was wanting a little more punch, especially during my action movies. This does not disappoint. Watching movies this weekend it was a major improvement to my old speaker. Loads of crisp, rattle-free bass. Also sounds great when I'm using the soundbar for music streaming. Maybe not concert quality for the music buffs, but far better than any portable BT speaker. Hands down one of the best additions I've made to my "home entertainment system". Well worth it for only $150.

    I totally love this Subwoofer. It met my expectations to the fullest. This is my second one. My first one I bought on black Friday was a total dud. Very Poor sound. At first I thought is this what it supposed to sound like? The sound was Very dull and had no thump at all. I heard the demo at my local Best Buy and was in awe. So I made a return for another one and the Geek squad took a look at it and found it was defective. So after my exchange I went home and was blown away after setting it up. So after having this Subwoofer for a month now I am very pleased and would recommend this to anyone.

    We love our new sub! After many, many years of using a passive sub, this powered 10" blew us away. The only problem we have now is securing stuff on our walls so it doesn't rattle when we watch movies :)

    I had purchased a theater surround sound system a while back from best Buy that I was very happy with. About 2 months ago I heard strange popping sounds from the subwoofer and needed to replace it. I did not want to spend too much so the Sony Core fit the bill. I have to say my system has never sounded better.

    This sub is a great value. It puts out plenty of bass in my living room and balances well with my other speakers. At $100 it was worth the money.
