Home > Consumer Reviews > Jensen's JPS10 PowerStation Subwoofer

I like everything about this woofer, except the fact that--when it goes into power-saving "sleep" mode--it lets out a loud sound that my wife says is a snore, but I say it's a fart. Either way, we're returning it, since it wakes us up when we've fallen asleep during the music, and it emits this loud-but-odorless flatulence every 10 minutes or so when we've got the volume of the music down low.

As others have mentioned, this subwoofer makes a very loud and rather impolite sound when it decides to go to standby mode. And many times it'll go noisily into standby in the middle of a song/movie. I thought I had a bum unit and tried the 8". Same thing! I'm no audiophile, and I hardly think it takes a purist to be turned off by the sound of something occasionally relieving itself in the corner of your living room.

It's hard to believe Jensen continues to sell this thing with such an obvious and annoying flaw. Might be good as a novelty/joke item. Otherwise, avoid.

I really don't know what those guys are talking about, I got this sub and I put it on my 600 watt kenwood surround sound amp with an rca cable. I turned that sucker on and i was amazed by how good the sound was coming from it. And it is ten inch you can't really beat that fot the price you would have to spend like 300 to 700 dollars for a ten inch anywhere else. plus it sounds as good if not better than half of the big names. I had a yamaha sub and this kills it for the sound part and looks. Plus the yamaha broke. So if you have a amp with a sub rca jack in the back i recommend this sub. but if you have a mini system don't get it. but i recomend this sub.

I have found this sub-woofer to be a compliment to some very old but dear Magneplanar speakers.

I bought this sub on the "good deal" of an Amazon Gold Box offer. I've been disappointed since. Like other reviewers have noted, this sub's flatulence is frustrating and only gets worse over time. The comedy for me is that I proceeded too carefully in solving the problem. When I first noticed the problem I began talking to others with more experience. In talking to them, they convinced me I had some signal noise introduced. So I bought a power filter. Didn't fix the problem. I also toyed with other cables as well. By the time I figured I'd been had, I'd been had. It was too late to return the system. Also, unlike the others, my experience is that the sub will perform it's whoopie cushion impersonations in the middle of the most dramatic moments while watching movies (so not just when your audio system isn't in use). When you see a trend, take note and stay away from this poor manored component.
