    Couldn't beat it for the price. I don't like to be overpowered, and this subwoofer suits my needs very well. It fills in the low frequencies I new I wasn't getting from my Polk towers.

    Not subterranean, but provides a satisfying low end for a system with small main speakers. For the price, you can't go too far wrong. I've had a lot of bad luck with subwoofers in the past; as long as this keeps working I'll be happy,

    Very happy with this subwoofer. We had a different one that just couldn't handle simple loads and didn't hit the deep feel you want from a sub but this one surely does. My fiancé has to ask me to turn it down quite often! ;-p

    I had several Subwoofers in the past and decided to add this to my new A/V Receiver STR-DN1070. Even with 2 Large Front-End speakers connected to my Receiver this Subwoofer made a great difference and now I can't listen to Music or Movies without it.

    Returned for Polk PSW

    Was looking for a second sub to go with my existing Polk PSW 10 series. This subwoofer had good reviews and was currently on sale for cheaper than what I had. Purchased and was not impressed. Although a good subwoofer it was easily drowned out by my original sub even though I turned down the Polk and the Sony was on max. I do not believe in turning amps to max volume yet it still could not keep up with the Polk. Returned and just paid the extra $30 for Polk. Totally worth it.
