    This subwoofer replaced a 3-year old Pioneer model that stopped working and is a great upgrade. Better sound, paired with in-wall Polk speakers (front and rear) and YAMAHA receiver.

    I wanted to take advantage of my receiver that i bought so I could have surround sound and this subwoofer was a great buy. I did not need a very big woofer but it does add quite a bit of bass.
