Customer Reviews

Great little sub
Got this sub to replace a Cambridge Soundworks BassCube 12S. I was afraid that moving from a 12" to a 10" sub might cause a loss of some bass, but was I wrong. This thing really adds some thump to movie soundtracks, and it's smaller and less obtrusive than the 12" it replaces. What I like is that it's downward firing. A lot of subs today are side-firing, which just seems like a recipe for disaster with kids and pets. It's ported in addition, which adds to the overall bass response.

Finally, the finish is nice. I got the black as the cherry was out of stock. My old sub was a straight black laminate, but this has the nice wood grain look to it.

Overall, I've very happy with this unit.

Highly recommend
I bought this to replace the unpowered bose sub that came with the Acoustimass 5 Series III. I was never crazy about the Bose sub to begin with, though thought the sats were pretty good. I've had this Bose setup along with their VCS-10 center in a 5.1 arrangement.

The Bose sub is the only sub I have to compare it to as I've never had another but the Sub10 was great this weekend. I played some blues, salsa music, and some DVDs and am very happy with it. I did play around with the crossover and it's now set at 150hz in my A/V receiver. I know that it's typical to set at 80 or 100 but my sats are so small that I eventually just set the crossover to 150 and it seems to be fine. The room it's in would probably be considered mid-sized. I didn't want a huge sub even with the dynamic range gains from a bigger sub -- I figured this would be pretty good and I was right. I have the sub's amp set at mid-level. The most I had it up was maybe 60-65% max. That was enough for my application. I think for the money that this sub is a steal and it breathed new life into my old Bose speaker system that I've had for 10 years. I'm looking forward to testing it further with some more challenging DVDs when I get the chance.

This sub looks great, the down firing makes the sub boom easy to hookup and well worth the price
