Cons: Still searching



I hooked this up thru the high level speaker inputs using 10 gauge wire. With the volume set at halfway the house was rattling and shaking so I turned the volume down to 1/4. To relieve the fronts of bass duty I turned up the low pass crossover to 140hz. The bass is tight, thumpy, well defined but not muddy or boomy sounding. Though I bought this item primarily for DVD movies I'm really impressed how well it sounds when playing all types of music. This sub performs well beyond the built in 50 watt amp's power rating. The only cheap thing about this sub is the price. I highly recommend it.
