Puts you in the movie by rm06 on amazon.com Jun 20, 2012
I've had this sub for about 3 months now. I originally bought it in combination with JBL main speakers and surrounds, so this rounded out the low end. I have installed sound systems in professional cinemas, so I know what to look for in cinema sound, ...

I use it for my home theater and for music/Dj-ing. It complete a set of 2 paradigm monitor 7 series 7. ( I miss only now the center and surrounds to finish my setup ) This sub can add a lot of bass to your existing system. It can shake thing in your house ...

Powerrful Deep Bass by Guillermo Cuesta "Willy" on amazon.com Jun 24, 2012
So far so good until now, we've installed for a client a whole ES Series (ES30/ESC25/ES80/ES250P) in a medium hall room and performs very nice. It makes rattles at dining room, kitchen, good response from that I expect.
 
JBL subwoofer Awesomeness! by Bodacious on amazon.com Jul 11, 2011
I read many reviews on this product before buying it and this subwoofer exeeded all of them. I just re-vitalized some old JBL studio monitors and my old Carver for my Garage (Man cave/muscle Hutt!!). After the powered sub was added I thought I might need ...

Save yourself the grief, don't buy this! by Talisman on amazon.com Jun 5, 2012
A short time after I bought this unit, say about a year, (we didn't use it very often), it stopped working. The blown fuse was replaced and each subsequent fuse blew instantly so into the shop it went. The first guy couldn't locate parts, and the second ...
 
JBL 12 In 250 Watt Powered Subwoofer by rscarawa on pricegrabber.com Oct 14, 2003
This unit does have great sound and compliments the JBL surround speakers. It is very adjustable and you cannot complain about the price. But after two years of ownership, it does while it was in standby mode. This unit gets used once a week. ...

Mine just died by C. Graham on amazon.com May 2, 2012
Bought this through Amazon Dec, 2010 and it just died May 2012. Mainly used for 5.1 surround with a receive that outputs discrete LFE. This replaced a previous JBL subwoofer that died....no more JBL subs for me. Once I confirmed that the 1 year warranty ...
 
Don't touch it by Audiophile Seattle on amazon.com Apr 21, 2012
I purchased this JBL model ES250PBK 12-Inch Sub from Amazon quite contrary to my instincts after reading a couple of negative reviews about it. The purchase process at Amazon.com was top notch, unfortunately the product wasn't. I hooked it up to Denon ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: JBL ES250P High-Performance 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer
IMHO down firing/ported subs are good/ok for movies where you want the sound to spread all across the room...Front firing non-ported subs are more conducive for music IMHO......and this one does an extreeeeemely good job...I have never tested this at high volume and thats not because I dont want to, but more because I can't:) You gotta respect its sonic capacity!! But hey, bringing down the house is not my idea of good sound and this is where this JBL sub stands out...
