This behemoth (weighs around 80 Lbs.) will certainly provide more than enough bass for most home theatre systems, all the way down to 20 hertz...bass you can not only hear but FEEL..the video contour button and front volume control are a nice touch.

However, this is not the most musical of subwoofers as it takes sophisticated electronics (servo control) to keep a 15 inch driver from distorting and enable it to provide quick, tight, punchy bass

If you will be using it for mostly music, I would recommend a smaller 10" sub that can provide a better reproduction of that all important mid and highs.

But if home theatre is your game and you have a large room to fill (20'x15'), this sub is a great place to start.

This subwoofer provides great home theater bass performance. It does, however, tend to get a bit sloppy on some types of music. I would recommend this product to anyone who loves low, extended bass response though...but wait for it to go on sale.

i purchased this unit with hopes of experiencing the true essence of low frequency response.this item delivers it's expected purpose. i bought a 10-inch model three years ago. i was so impressed by this model,i use it with my home theater system . the 10inch model can produce low frequencies more accurately than most 12-15 models of other brands out there.this lead to my curiosity about a larger jbl sub unit .i've owned and used this unit for a year , it never dissapointed me.i hope your neighbors are nice people ,you'll be gettin lots of visits and calls from them, trust me. my only problem with this unit is it's size , it's huge and kind of awkward. placement of this unit is a very easy task, it fills the room with exceptional low end virtually anywhere you place it . without getting all technical,i hope this information is helpful.

(...) This sub is very good. It does an exceptional job handling the ultra-low end, which is what I have it doing (100Hz and lower). This sub is similar to the Audio Source 200 Watt 15" subwoofer but heavier by a bit, a little larger and quite a bit louder. The digital amplifier certaintly does keep a flat frequency response. This sub is definately great for everyday bass used quitely and very good for loud parties (which is partly why I bought it). (...)

I have two of these, and would not recomend buying more than one. If you want more bass than this one can put out I sugest you go with a bigger sub.
