    After getting my receiver settings set up for a subwoofer and connecting, I had the Bass that was missing from my satellite speakers. Bass is a must need and after the discount I received on this sub I was very happy.

    Made everything sound better. The T.V. And movies that plays thru it go boom, boom, boom. I am thinking of buying another one for the dual setup I can have with the receiver.

    With the volume and the frequency roll-off wide open, this thing definitely rumbles. Fortunately for the other condo occupants in my building, the low end can be controlled via the back panel.

    For the regular price of $200 you can get a decent klipsch subwoofer that is a lot better, for $250 you can get an even better klipsch subwoofer - so look to them before buying this subwoofer at the regular price - not on bestbuy however. But for the $100 I paid for this, there is no way you can match it. An absolute steal of a deal. I ended up buying 2! One for the living room and one for my gym. The sound can get muddy, it is certainly not a punchy subwoofer. But I find turning the bass level halfway up and the volume halfway up gives a decent amount of bass without sounding stupid and overpowering. These are paired with POLK S20 bookshelf speakers and an Onkyo receiver. A very inexpensive system than smashes the pants off any sound bar/all in one system you can get.

    While considering another sub, I found this and decided to purchase this for my home. I was pleasantly surprised to hear how well it can reproduce the bass in my home theater system. It also has automatic power off, so it can help save energy when not in use.
