Perfect for 11!

I have an Onkyo NR-676 receiver, a Pro-Ject Carbon turntable and Paradigm 7 v3 tower speakers that I bought for $170. So, my system is good, but I wouldn't call it the best. This sub helped with the lack of bass frequencies below 45Hz, despite technically only reaching 40Hz. Now all my music is more transparent because I can roll off the bass and let the subwoofer do its job, taking the load off the towers. Driving the classic 808 hip-hop kick drums, although hip-hop fans will likely want a…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Sad equipment

All worries about quality and sound are gone!

I read many reviews to decide if this compact subwoofer would work in my small living room with a Dolby Atmos receiver and my 65" OLED TV. Well I'm as happy as can be. The previous subwoofer was too big and loud enough to startle me over heavy bass scenes in the music. I had to turn on the subwoofer to get a good foundation for such great music. I ordered the SUB8SM and it arrived the next day. ! I've listened to music and movies and I can say the bass is perfect! Not too boomy and not so…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Some difficulties

I have a room in the house that I have ceiling mounted speakers in just to occasionally watch TV and listen to music. This is the main entrance to the house, so I don't want it cluttered with speakers. This sub was a little larger than I thought it would be, but is still tucked away in a corner on a hardwood floor, not sticking out like a sore thumb. This sub does a great job of just adding a little extra punch to that sound. This isn't the subwoofer you want in your theater/listening room…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Minor issues

Don't pay more just buy this one

I have a couple of speakers that I installed on the ceiling of my garage. They sound good, but the bass is a bit muted due to space constraints; So it's time to add a subwoofer. I have an extra Velodyne subwoofer that I tried with speakers but it was overkill and I realized I had to go another (smaller) route. I also have three Dahlquist DQ-1W subwoofers, but they require special amplifiers and each speaker is huge. I wanted something quick and easy. Looking through the product descriptions on…

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Looks good, sounds good, had some problems.

First off, the subwoofer looks great. It looks the same as in the photos. The texture of the wood looks real (I'm pretty sure it's plastic but I'm not complaining) and the body is nice and solid. There were no questions about the build quality, especially for such a price. Good slim size to hide under sofa or TV stand. When I could get it to work, it sounded good. Nice deep bass added to my system without being boomy or cheap. I ended up having to return it due to some issues. As other reviews…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
