Great product, everythings as stated. Really loud, crisp bass. I'm going to buy another one at this price and quality and hook it up to a Y cable to my LFE jack for more of a surround bass. Life is good, your not buying something cheap here.
 Very happy November 5, 2007

I started out reading a lot of different reviews, and as usual they made me less sure of my decision than when I had started. I was trying to decide between the 10" JBL and the 10" Klipsch as both are pretty similar spec, and sound very much the same. I checked out Amazon, who had the 12" JBL on special, which is pretty much what made my mind up for me. $179 with free shipping! A lot better than what I was looking at paying. It took exactly 1 week to arrive and I could not be happier with it. Bass is very responsive, wasn't too sure what to expect as running some large floorspeakers which could handle down to 35hz, but what it has done is free up the mid's to deliver a clearer more defined sound, with a much lower and more controlled bass. The JBL fits in perfectly and is very easy to setup. I wasn't sure what to expect with the silver/grey grill but I don't have any complaints, and the down firing port means I can have it up close to the wall. I am running at just over half volume and you really can feel the bass, makes my DVD experience come to life. Would recommend to anyone.

For a room of 220 s.f., this 12"-500 watt unit was too much, but it has an intensity control to soften the blow for times when booming bass is not desired. Size-wise, my daughter describes it as a "mini-fridge" Also has a nice frequency range adjustment to toggle down the higher frequencies that are already handled by my center and side speakers. A nice product at a great price.
INCREDIBLE SUB FOR MUSIC !!! December 2, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this contraption in spite that I had been reluctant to the inclusion of a sub in my stereo system for many years. But my amp was running out of juice for the bass I demanded for the music I listen to ( heavy metal, hardcore, crossover and punk). I really didn't have the notions of how it worked/how to set/hook it up right and man was I wrong !!!
This was the ticket to perfection, and the best bang for the buck ! It's like I'd added 250 more watts to my amp and traded my main speakers for much bigger/efficient ones, only 1000 times better and more accurate, for a fraction of the cost to boot !!!
Its front-firing, floor-ported design makes it ideal for music listening in that you don't need the floor to shake that much as you would in an HT system (floor doesn't shake at concerts) making it more nighbour-friendly and less critical to position it (ideal, corner location is OK ONLY if you're gonna cross it over at the lowest, 50 hz setting, otherwise it might become very directional).
The design is OK ; it's a huge box with an silver grille that won't blend in with any decor or another brand of speakers and makes it look like a radiator stove but personally I could'nt care less about it. Without the grille things are different; the front is a nice fake carbon-fiber fascia with a grey polyplas speaker cone..
Sound is tight, deep, accurate and powerful enough to meet my demands in a 12 X 12, high ceiling, semi-hard room (no drapes, wooden floor, lotsa wood on the walls). Great connectivity but I really could have used the volume knob located elsewhere but at the back of the thing where it is on almost every sub but that's just me.
Get the Klipsch 300 watts Synergy sub for your HT system, it's a huge improvement over this one and a much better and efficient all-terrain subwoofer at not that much more money.

I had to get this sub to replace a Klipsch monster. I do not have the same amount of money to throw around like I used to. But I needed a new sub. I decided on this one because of the reviews ,size and watts of this sub. Oh yeah and the incredibly reasonable price. I was expecting decent but not exceptional performance. I can say with no hesitation. I was more than pleasantly surprised. It sounds great. It pounds when needed. What impressed me the most is when the volume is turned down (that is when the wife yells at me to turn it down.) It still delivers a good punch without washing out the mids and highs of my system. Bottom line you you would be hard pressed to find a better sub for the price. I thought I was going to be disappointed going from my Klipsch to this. I am not and would recommend it to a friend.
