lot of power for a small speaker makes my apartment to shake

This subwoofer is easily powerful enough to give me all that bass that I need. I have to dial it back to 50% in order for it to not be overpowering.

Ok, so when I started shopping around for a sub, I realized that I had to find one that I could hook up actual speaker wires to. This is because I have an older Harmon Kardon receiver with no surround sound outputs. I couldn't believe that I found this for just over $100! After reading ALL of the reviews I bought it on line immediately. It arrived in 3 days at my front door. It took about 15 minutes to hook it up. I have a 300 watt HK receiver & 2 Klipsh bookshelf speakers, and now with this sub, it is the perfect system. I can control the bottom end on the sub with the volume control & dial it in perfectly! I am a drummer & bottom end is VERY important to me, & this sub delivers. I would highly reccomend this to anyone who wants to add a good thump to their system...........

In the $100-$150 range it's hard to beat this Yamaha. The comparable Sony/MTX/Advent etc. don't have the features, build quality, or sound. The volume needs to be adjusted just right, so make sure to do sound trials with DVD, CDs, anything you might use it with. Placement also has a big impact...I set it against the TV wall close to the adjacent, and it really rocks the room. Only letdown is the 2-way crossover...needs a continuous adjustment to dial in with fronts.

i bought 2 of these along with some bookshelf speakers nd i have to say these 10s put out the bass i wanted nd im a bass head i have it set at about half the volume nd set at high cut off nd these things boom sound what a room system should the bass ist over powerin but it can be if u set the volume on the sub too high i havent even broken them in yet nd im in love

this product puts out good sound, with a hard hitting base that will rumdle any room. the size off it makes it easy to hide. over all for the price i don't think it can be beat.

Can ask for more?, for $124 does alot for my harman kardon. No need to spend $400 for one of this subwoofer. I dont need not complaint from others apartments. It you can afford to buy a $400-$500, well just buy it.

Reviewing strictly on cost, this is an excellent speaker. Because it is very boomy and bottoms out easily, it will take some time to set up with your system to find the right volume, channel level and range. But, we are talking about a $100 sub here. If you have a low end theater, or just want some more kick for gaming, this is the speaker for you. It is not a very good music sub, because it does not reproduce low notes well. Set your crossover to a higher frequency (150 hz works well for me), turn the volume on the sub to about halfway, and enjoy.

Best Sub for under $350. I tried 2 other subs before getting the Yamaha. With a good receiver this sub sounds great!!! Perfect for small to medium size rooms.

i got this sub with a pioneer VSX-517 home theatre receiver and i really like how this sub sounds. it dosent have very low bass but for $125 you cant go wrong. This works well as a home theatre sub but when you listen to music that has a lot of bass or run bass testers or sub testers it dosent do very well. a friend of mine has a velodyne subwoofer and when i compared this sub to his it wasnt as good sounding down low. I was first disapointed with the sub when i listened to it in the store but then realized that people would beat up the subs in the store by turning them up super loud. Even after hearing it in the store i still bought it. After it was hooked up it sounded so much better than in the store. This isnt the greatest subwoofer but for the money you cant go wrong. Overall pretty good sub if you dont feel like spending $2000 on a home theatre.

This is a great sub for the money. They are on clearance in my area ($86) but I got an open box that someone returned for $60. I watched Transformers last night and this sub added so much to the sound that I didnt know existed. Plus it matches my Insignia bookshelves speakers very well and also my Boston center speaker. I keep getting great things from Best Buy.

I bought this sub along with my 6.1 receiver, my two tower speakers and 4 satellite speakers and it compliments the whole setup very nicely. With music it adds the perfect boom and kick, and with video games and movies it fills them out and makes them seem real.

i bought this with a 500W reciver (yamaha) it reall fits great with the rest of the system and definatly makes a difference from listening without the woofer to when you turn it on

Was alittle hesitant with this product after reading both good and not so good reviews. However the good outweighed the not so good and I decided to give it a try. Well let me tell you, I'm glad I did. The power and incredible sound that came out of this sub just blew me away. I can't describe the difference it made in my system . Please don't waste your money on those very expensive subs that will only bring out just a minor difference in sound and quality. I really love this item and highly recomend this to anyone who wants to put a real kick in there home theater sound. I quaruntee you will not be dissapointed.

After reading the reviews for this item, I must say I was very skeptical about this purchase, but I took a chance and took advantage of the 30 day return policy of Best Buy. After getting this subwoofer home, and properly setting it up, I was VERY surprised. This is not a bad little sub. It is not a Klipsch unit by any means, but the way I figure it, if you are looking for a a sub in this price range then you do not expect the best quality. This is a nice addition to my Bose 201 bookshelf speakers, the bass can become muddy if you turn the volume on the sub to high, set the sub at mid level, and it is fine.

I added new Yamaha speakers including this inexpensive powered subwoofer to a decent 15 year old stereo system, and it sounds are greatly improved. I will probably keep the speakers when I upgrade the receiver.

This Yamaha is now the heartbeat to an old Advent Heritage 5 speaker home theater. Movies & Sports are back with great sound thanks to this inexpensive $99. Yamaha subwoofer. Trust this review, don't waste your money!

Had this for about a month now to replace the old subwoofer that came w/our Pioneer Home theater system and I have to say it works way better then the old one did... No complaints

I have a Sony surround system that was running a little tower woofer powered from the speaker outputs on my receiver. Replacing that with this 10" woofer made a WORLD of difference. It is probably the combination of a bigger woofer and the fact that it's a powered sub, but this thing is AWESOME! I'm guessing that the people that wrote negative reviews either don't have a big enough amp/receiver or are REALLY picky, because I am a musician with a discerning ear and I love this thing. It is JUST what my surround sound needed!

I bought this sub to go along with my Yamaha sound bar I had recently purchased. I am pleased to far! This product has a nice solid build and it was built to last for sure. Like others have said having the volume around 3 or 4 seems to be best anything higher than that is a little too much. My only gripe is that this did not come with the needed RCA cable to attach. I picked one up off Amazon and had to wait an additional 2 days to set this baby up. Having said that, my product arrived to BB a week earlier than anticipated. Thanks!
