(5 out of 5) by eightysicks86 on Jul 31, 2009Due to living in an apartment, I have not really been able to crank this sub up much. From what I can tell it is a very good sub. I like the look of the huge baffles on the cone. It is pretty big but does blend in with the grill on.
pros:
Very highly regarded as one of the best subs in it's price range by avs forum members.
Designed in part by the HSU team, a well-respected name in subwoofers
gloss black finish on top, (cat foot-prints galore)
all the switches you need on the back
cons:
most people probably have never heard about this sub and its name might suggest like it came out of wal-mart
the power cord does not fit snug in the back, however mine has never fallen out on its own.
It has a rare switch on the back for 5.1 option or pro-logic. If you use an rca cable from your receiver for the .1 lfe channel use the 5.1 setting (the crossover knob will be inactive-use the x-over adjustment in your receiver), otherwise if you wire your front speakers through the sub-use the pro-logic setting and adjust x-over knob.

Acoustech H-100
(5 out of 5) by Gerry D. Bonfiglio on Jun 22, 2009 (Roslyn, Pa. United States)Great sub for the money. Only the hardcore audiophiles will need more.But then, they won't be looking here anyway. You will not be dissapointed.
Great subwoofer
(4 out of 5) by Peter A. Juhnke on Jun 16, 2009 (Zigzag, OR United States)This is a great subwoofer with all sorts of power and easy adjusments with switches and knobs on the back. I read several reviews that tested this subwoofer against much more expensive brands and this one was always as good or better and cost half as much.
The reason I only gave it 4 stars was because of the frustration that a sticker on the speaker screen gave me (yes this is a petty complaint). It would not come off even when applying some heat (I actually think this made the sticker glue stick better). I would have left it on but it was crooked and looked bad. I ended up using a black marker to cover what I could not get off.
The other thing is that the power cord does not plug in securely to the back of the unit. Not a real problem unless you have animals or small children (same thing) that may knock it loose.
Despite these two small problems I would definately recomend this subwoofer for both home theater and music listening.

Great budget subwoofer
(5 out of 5) by Carlos M. Morales on Jun 15, 2009Researched for a while and opted for this subwoofer to replace my old and small Velodyne CT- 80. Whole different league for the same price paid for the Velodyne 8 years ago. This unit moves quite some air in my 18X18 room. I would think its hard to beat at around $250.

BH 100 Awesome Quality, Sound and Feel
(5 out of 5) by Abel Cisneros on May 7, 2009 (El Paso, TX)Good Quality, Good SOLID sound, nice feel in a 19' X 21'--MY ROOM!-- This unit definetely outstands and beats the high priced competitor. Was seriously looking for a Klipsh, but wasn't truly convinced by the sound not to mention the steep price. BH-100 unit not only convinced me on the price but the feel.... of that low solid thundering bass. Highly recommend this slick looking High Gloss 12". Very well worth all around.
