Happy with the sub for the price [Posted on 2005-08-01] I'm happy with the purchase. It adds a lot to the lower end and my wife says she can hear it on the second floor (it's in a 700 sq. foot basement). It's got good adjustments (volume, phase)and an auto-on switch so you don't need to touch it once it's setup. I used the THX optimizer from my Toy Story DVD to adjust the volume and am very satisfied.
One concern is that there is a minor buzz, but this goes away when I disconnect the cable from my Sony DB830 receiver so I'm not going to blame the sub for that. You can't turn this *all* the way up as it becomes muddy (a little distorted) but it's more than enough for a Home Theater system. I have it set at about 50% volume and it's perfect.
Great sound [Posted on 2005-12-07] After looking for a decent priced 12" subwoofer, I found this one.
Some people, complain about the sound this... the frequency that... the design here and there.
People: If you want more and better, then pay $400 and up.
Bottom line: This sub has a great sound and decent features for a great price.
Even more, there is nothing else in the market, for the price, with this quality of sound and features, period.
It is a winner in my book.
unit fried and no customer support [Posted on 2007-02-25] Bought the unit 25 months ago at a good price and have been satisfied with the sound quality. Just one month after the warranty expired the unit began smoking and fried. Luckily I was home before a fire started, but the power swith didn't cut it off, had to pull the plug. E-Mailed the manufacturer to see if there was a known defect in the amp or if there was a recall but have gotten no response. As I said, unit was cheap for the sound it put out, but is it worth burning down your house?
I never did buy this item. [Posted on 2008-07-21] I'm asked to review this, but i never owned it. Probably, it's a good sub-woofer (or sub-marine (i forget what the item was.)) Happy hunting (4 u.) bye.
