Works seamlessly with my Dahlquist DQ12's by Aida L. Oxenford "1001100x02" on amazon.com Jun 25, 2012

I upgraded our sound system with this sub and a Yamaha RX-V673 Surround Receiver. Using the YPAO microphone with the Yamaha, each speaker (all 9 of them) was calibrated along with this sub. The lows sound great without sounding boomy. I used the opening ...

WORKS FOR ME...BUT YOU MIGHT READ THIS FIRST by S. D. on amazon.com Jun 23, 2012

I just hooked up this sub to my system and it's everything that people have said about it. Sound is rich, punching, and just great overall. However, there are a couple of spots on the start of this page that specify that this speaker is "magnetically ...

I got a dud by Spencer on amazon.com Dec 2, 2011

The sub worked great and sounded wonderful for two days and then it stopped working. I was able to send it back to Amazon easily for a refund. I'm glad it went ahead and died quick instead of a few months down the road after the return window had closed. ...
