Subwoofer Reviews

"Yamaha's YST-SW315 is a very solid performer, with a sound that is full and strong, yet very accurate...Unlike many subwoofers, the YST-SW315 is magnetically shielded, letting it be placed close to a television monitor...The ten-inch long-throw driver is mounted in a downward firing configuration that provides an efficient use of power...The YST-SW315 has an automatic on/off mode, turning the unit on when audio is detected and turning it off after a certain period of time with no signal..." read more »

"The Energy is good for music and much better for movies...You pay $50 more and get a subwoofer that's twice as good...The placement is very important, I was generally pleased with the quality of sound; AFTER a good break in period..." read more »

"Equally adept with movies and music; robust MDF cabinet; matches other speakers in Polk's Monitor Series....All that's missing is a direct input that bypasses the sub's internal crossover....That's why we were so jazzed about Polk's most affordable sub, the $199 PSW10: it pounds out home-theater thrills and musical bass with equal prowess...The PSW10 has a 10-inch composite woofer and a 50-watt high-current amplifier...The PSW10 is available in black or cherry-colored..." read more »

"Front port makes it flexible to position, remarkably tight bass...Not suitable for larger rooms...The Yamaha YST-FSW150 subwoofer is a horizontally oriented sub that is situated as a short sub of only 6 inches in height...With an included accessory stand, the YST-FSW150 can also be positioned vertically...This kind of flexibility makes the Yamaha YST-FSW150 an attractive choice for those attempting to place a subwoofer into cramped quarters or achieve an otherwise..." read more »

"I just recently purchased the klipsch rsw-10 sub for $450 and after reading some threads im not sure if what i got was such a good deal anymore...I don't remember how much the RSW-10 retailed for, but it was probably at least a grand...You'll get a lot of recommendations from people who have the brand they're recommending..." read more »

"The Klipsch Synergy Sub-12 is a full-size subwoofer that offers a down-firing 12-inch woofer, a 300-watt amplifier, and connectivity options that cover...A real wood veneer would look nicer....There's no denying that the Klipsch Synergy Sub-12 is big; its black vinyl dimensions measure up at 18 inches high, 15 wide, and almost 20 deep, and it tips the scales at 40 pounds...Tell us what you like about this product...Tell us what you don't like about this product......" read more »

"Solid performance, fair pricing, grill design will protect the driver from little hands...Styling may not appeal to everyone...The Polk Audio PSW125 subwoofer is a good value if you are looking to beef up your home theater's low end...Readily available at major retailers throughout the United States, the PSW125 adds extra punch to your music and seat-shaking rumble to your movies...The PSW125's cabinet encloses a 12-inch Dynamic Balance composite woofer in..." read more »

"This woofer does an excellent job! I highly recommend it...This bad boy can knock pretty hard without getting distortion...Using a Yamaha (500 watt budget line) HTR which I highly recommend for a budget system as well..." read more »

"Good price, strong amplifier...Deep bass response is lacking...A powered subwoofer is a must for a stereo or home theater system, and the Onkyo SKW-204 is an affordable option...However, while there is plenty of power available, the performance of the SKW-204 is a bit lacking, especially in the extreme low frequencies...The SKW-204 is a real powerhouse for an inexpensive subwoofer, delivering a maximum of 230 watts to its 10-inch cone driver...Considering the..." read more »

"Until I hooked this bad boy up, I obviously did not know what a subwoofer was supposed to sound like...As good as I thought my old sub was, this newer Velodyne was much better and had serious sound improvements that you can acutally hear...Overall, I would highly recommend this sub..." read more »
