For the price, great sub

 

It's a 10" sub and has 100watts. I have two of these and I've had zero issues. I use one as my system sub in the bedroom and the other is my rear 7.2 to 1 sub in my family room system

None so far

Deep base, great value!

 

Compact size, deep base for it's size. Crisp sounding base. Blends in well with my Vizio soundbar in a smaller room. Good for music as movies. RCA cable included

Not the prettiest box out there. Limited adjustments on sub, only allows for volume control

Good Quality

 

Easy to setup. Good quality bass. I especially like the button on the back to turn the bass down at night when the neighbors wouldn't want to hear it ; Nice looking unit and works well

nice

 

this is a good enough sub for most uses. however this sub will not work well without cabin gain. large and open rooms need larger woofers, for a medium to large room, and for music use, a subwoofer in each corner is best, so 4 total, two at opposite...

yamaha

yamaha usually makes far superior products than this one. however the price justifies the build quality ; paid more elsewhere for mine

Ok..........

 

Small, compact. Has through cable hookup so you don't have to have a dedicated sub out

Not very loud. I'm using it outside to help my Pioneer speakers with a little more low end. Maybe outdoors is not ideal application for this model. Just a small patio area. Doesn't seem to be doing much for the sound. Not very impressed. But....for...

Very good!

 

Definitely not the audiophile's choice - but for $100, I don't think you'll find a better deal anywhere! I have a stereo setup, so if I had the money, I would definitely buy another one and set one subwoofer for each channel. Also, the page 11 in the...

Very happy with the purchase. Very very good sound, low distortion. This thing can vibrate half of the house at half volume - that's no exaggeration. And it sounds great, too ; The plugs on the back are very simple - and that's the way I like them. RCA...

The lowest of the low frequencies aren't quite as responsive as they could be. After testing the unit out normally, I plugged it into an equalizer and pumped up the 30 Hz range to +12 db - this subwoofer SINGS. But you have to have another piece of...

its okay.

 

like i said, not bad for movies and games, but music with deep hard hitting bass is no good on this sub. its more of a constant tone one, weak caps i imagine. ill open it up and take a look later. all in all a decent sub for the price, but was...

its a well made box, with a decent speaker/amp selection for the price

distorts rather quickly, seems to be about half as loud below 60hz as @60, and its peak frequencies seem to be around 140, so dont expect deep hitting bass for music. this is unfortunately a movie sub which i purchased thinking otherwise. the internal...

Good sub for the price

 

FYI for those trying to find the right spot for you subwoofer: You don't have to move the sub into different positions around the room to find the sweet spot. Place the sub in your listening position (where you sit) then move to different spots around...

Needed a replacement for a Onkyo HTIB sub that died. This sub easily outperforms the original unit. Sound quality is about 90% of the Klipsch sub in the man cave and cost less than a third of the price
