Average customer review:Product Description
If you are assembling a superior performance home theater system with a high definition video projector or monitor along with an audio system that exceeds the sound quality and sheer visceral impact of premiere movie theaters, without taking up a large amount of floor-space, then this is the subwoofer for you. The SuperCube I incorporate a 10-inch SuperCube technology woofer pressure coupled to two 10-inch ultra low bass radiators. Equivalent to an 18-inch diameter woofer but with far greater speed, musicality and control than a single large diameter woofer could ever deliver. The SuperCube I can easily fill any domestic living space with loud, visceral, extended and musical bass yet it occupies less than 2 square feet of floor-space.The SuperCube I is powered by a 1500-watt class D amplifier. The result is astounding high-definition bass performance extending effortlessly down to 13 Hz. Slam, pace and rhythm are exemplary as is the ability to actually shake foundations. A complete complement of inputs and controls are included on this surprisingly compact and stylish cube.

Customer Reviews
Few if any subs in brick and mortar stores can touch this
I've owned a lot of powered subwoofers over the last 15 years.
M&K, Polk, Infinity, Cambridge Soundworks, Yamaha, Boston Acoustics, Advent.
None of these, with the exception of M&K have a sub on the market that can touch this subwoofer. Deep extension, oodles of power and sweet looking to boot.
As another reviewer noted, it probably doesn't weight 75 pounds on its own. In the box, yes, thats the weight. Out of the box it's 63 pounds. Still a very hefty sub especially when you consider its crammed into a 14" squared box. I emailed Definitive Technology to get some clarification on the performance specifications on this sub.
Although it's advertised everywhere that it will reach down to 13Hz, the useable frequency response is down to a more reasonable 20Hz -3db anechoic measured. So, in your room you may expect to see this output or even better if your room is on the smaller side (under 1500 cu.ft.)
The 10" driver weighs in at over 21 lbs. That's one heavy driver.
I'm extremely satisfied with the performance and can recommend it without reservation. However, one thing I do have an issue with is the auto-on feature. I like to listen at low volume now and again. When I do this, I lose the bass response in my system because this sub requires a stronger signal to turn it on. I think Definitive kind of blew it on this one by not offering a bypass feature that allows this sub to be constantly on instead of needing a signal to kick it into gear.
Other than that, this thing is truly a stellar performing subwoofer.
Very Impressed!!!
The Def Tech SCi is one amazing subwoofer. I wanted to replace an aging, but fully functional 15" Def Tech Powerfield subwoofer that I have owed for 11 years. That PF 15 is also incredible, more than perfect for movies, but lacks the tight sound music requires. It is simply too boomy. So I bought a SCiii originally. I was impressed with the sound quality, but not the HT quality. So I went with the SCi instead. Boy what a difference. My room is 15" x 25" and the little sciii was not up to the task. I went with the big brother, the SCi, hoping that it would meet my requirements, a sub that sounds good with music and home theater as well.
I am more than pleased with the performance of this sub. I was able to get it used for only 600 bones, so I got it at a steal!!
As for the quality of sound, it is a much needed improvement over both my PF15 and the SCiii. The bass drum and guitar on music sounds very realistic. All the low end notes sound more like what the musicians intended.
As for home theater, it packs a punch. Although it does not seem to go as low as my PF15, it sounds better and more realistic. This sub has more than enough power to drive the transducers to the point were my old PF15 seems very ancient.
As for the build quality, it is very well put together in terms of the cabinet. One thing is that the glossy top is detachable and if not properly placed back on top, it will rattle. But that is an easy fix, just use some of the cloth on the spikes and you are good to go.
I highly recommend this sub. I have not heard any other subs in the $1200 range, but I feel that this is one incredible sub.
Good subwoofer
This was purchased as the sub for a system in which I have 3 Mythos Tens for front left/right/center channels and 2 Mythos Gem XLs for surrounds. I have a longer review of the Mythos Tens for those who are interested.
This is a good subwoofer. Relatively compact, powerful, tight bass response. Easily rattles the walls when I wnat it to in our 14'x20' family room that is open to the rest of the house. In my system I crossover at 80 Hz, which seems to be about ideal for the speakers in use.
