Amazing Sound!!!!! by evapa on amazon.com Jun 26, 2012

Excellent Choice by Home Theater Newbie on beachaudio.com May 16, 2009
I have a 11X23 home theater room with 9' ceilings. I do a lot of research before buying any equipment. This subwoofer was highly reviewed at AVS Forums. I did not want to spend over $250 for a sub, but I was worried about the sound. I could not be happier. ...
 
excellent product by boris59 on overstock.com Apr 30, 2011
I was advised to buy a 12" subwoofer (as opposed to 10) and I am very glad I did. You will definitely know the difference between good subwoofer and a mediocre one. This one had a very good reviews in various places. It is also covered by 5 year warranty. Very happy with my choice.
 
Amazing Product! by mhutton on amazon.com Jun 14, 2012
I ordered this subwoofer just a few days ago, and not only did it come in just 2 days, the sound was truly impressive, and it was massive too!(which in my opinion makes it better) This is not for the faint of heart, because at just quarter volume it shakes ...

Weak Sub, Lacks Articulation and Tightness by LIFE IS GOOD "Gabe" on amazon.com Jun 22, 2011
I bought this sub as I had a limited budget at the time. For the price of $200, it is an okay sub with decent movie performance. Music is however where it really lacks in articulation and tightness. If your home theater demands are loose and inexperienced, ...

Blown speaker by DaveK9669 on amazon.com Feb 15, 2012
The subwoofer was shipped fast. But when hooked up it had a blown voice coil. Pretty disapointing. Hopefully the replacement works.
 
Not for serious music by Dr. Lee Herman on amazon.com Mar 15, 2011
I'm not sure what comes out of this sub, but it isn't quite music. It vibrates, but so does my cell phone. A good value if you listen to lots of explosions, perhaps for disco music. That's all.
 
Only functional for movies, not music! by by way of Tulsa on amazon.com Feb 9, 2012
I purchased this subwoofer on December 29th, 2011. Right out of the box the crossover did not work. That was fairly annoying, however I was able to set my crossover on my receiver for the subwoofer so it was not that big of an issue. The issue with this ...

Attractive Design, Easy Setup, Good Power Output, Great Sound Quality I wound up having to get a new sub because the house took a power surge and fried the old one...I went to the avsforums to look for recommendations for my room (15x18 12ft ceiling) and price range and this was the one that got the best feedback...That's changed with the F12 :) I was hoping it would be as good as the one I had...
