Great speaker sound

Great value. I like being able to pick it up off the floor. The 2-to-1 RCA connector is dollar-shop quality at best. Didn't stop humming because of loose contacts. Great subwoofer but I have to downgrade my rating to four stars because I had to replace the cable and right angle RCA plugs.

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Very important! for home audio

I replaced a 17 year old Bose home theater with a cheap LG unit after the main amps died. That was enough, except for that nice deep bass that Bose wowed me with. I chose this active subwoofer but had to use the original subwoofer cable (20 gauge) due to the proprietary LG connectors. What a wonderful improvement! This subwoofer has enough power to watch TV and movies. Outstanding performance for the price.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • very expensive

Good sound from a small package.

I'm not a music lover, I'm just a guy who likes home theater sound while watching Blu-ray. I'm sure someone who really cares about sound can find issues with this, but for the average person like me I think this subwoofer is great. Connecting to my AV receiver was a breeze; just plug it in. The slim profile is great and perfect for my entertainment center. I was concerned about the sound from such a small unit, but it sounds just as good as my old clunky subwoofer. I am very happy with it.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Replacement Availability

Very impressive sound quality

Cool stuff! It must take some time to break in because when I first plugged it in I was a bit disappointed because I had it almost fully powered on. But by the end of the 4th or 5th movie I had to get up and call back a few times. When all was said and done, I turned it on just below half power and this thing rocked the house. Literally. I've had it for a few months now and I've had no trouble getting it to work. It also turns off after about three minutes and turns back on as soon as itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fits a lot of people
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Great subwoofer for the money. For the people who gave this subwoofer a bad review, it's probably because they don't understand home audio. I'll give you 3 tips to make this subwoofer sound great. 1 Take the speaker out of the packaging and fill the packaging with fiberfill. Don't overstuff the box and make sure you line it up loosely. You can get the bag at any WalMart for about $3. Step 2. This is a floor blown subwoofer. So to place it on the carpet you need to cut a piece of wood and put it

Pros
  • Great option for a small home
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Good performance at a good price

I was looking for a subwoofer that would fit in a small room for a system in a small room. My system runs in 2.1 mode so I didn't buy it for home theater although I do see movement on the system. I bought a subwoofer to boost the bass from my old DCM TF-250 speakers. He does that wonderfully. I've been using it for over three weeks now. Overall I'm very happy with this subwoofer - the 8" version. I won't give any specs here. They are in the product description. The subwoofer is thin enough toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

The price is good, but there are quality problems.

This is an updated review. I originally gave it 4 stars (see below), there is no need to give it only 2 stars now. I bought it and loved it, but for a little under a year the auto on/off feature started behaving strangely and would flicker during a song. I could easily "fix" this by just leaving it on and then buying a power panel to turn it on and off manually, but I really wanted it to work. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any guarantees. They say you should go to Revaneโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some bugs

not very good

I was surprised that there aren't many different types of thin subwoofers. I only see a few thin subwoofers available on Revain and other sites and it was quite difficult to decide on one as most of them have mixed reviews. After some deliberation, I ordered this 8" subwoofer model because it is one of the narrowest subwoofers (only about 4" wide) as I only have limited space for it. When I received the box I was surprised by the size. (and the subwoofer is almost as big). I was hoping it would

Pros
  • new
Cons
  • slightly torn
