Review 2 of 25

Price Paid:  $370.00 from Etronics

Summary:
This subwoofer really puts out the bass. The bass tracks from DVDs like Jurasic 3 and Pink Floyd the Wall sound incredible. I noticed that some reviewers did not like the knobs, I have no problem with them. I prefer having the controls on the front, it''s easier to adjust levels. The ARS300 is set up in a corner behind my Tosiba 50" tv.

Strengths:
Sound and price. Great value

Weaknesses:
None that I can find

Review 3 of 25

Price Paid:  $350.00 from H.H.Gregg

Summary:
I have no regrets buying this powered sub. I would buy another, but they were discontinued here.I bought it as a floormodel for a cheaper price.

Strengths:
strong,fast-cooling Voice coil (which deliver very precise sound).

Weaknesses:
priced a little too hi.(I Think a good price range is $400-$550)

Review 4 of 25

Price Paid:  $369.00

Summary:
IT'S A GOOD SUBWOOFER

Strengths:
I LOVE MY ARS300 IT HAS A VERY TIGHT BASS FEEL. BETTER THEN THE REALISTIC TAPE PLAYER I HAVE IN MY CAR. I WISH I HAD SOME MONEY SO I COULD BY AN ARS 500.

Weaknesses:
I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THIS SOUNDS DISTORTED AT HIGH VOLUMES, MY SYSTEM IS VERY HIGH END, I HAVE A SOUND DESIGN 100 WATT RECIEVER THAT I BOUGHT AT RADIO SHACK. I'M THINKING OF BUYING A 19 INCH RCA TV TO COMPLETE MY HOME ENTERTAINMENT CENTER. IF MY WIFE LETS ME I WILL BUY A 25 INCH TV

Similar Products Used:

Review 5 of 25

Price Paid:  $369.00 from accessories4less

Summary:
For the price of this sub there's not much out there to compare with. I'm using pre amp outs with a pioneer receiver. The sub goes quite low and is very cean. I"m using this sub in my bedroom that is quite large (20'x32'). I thought it would be alittle more powerful since it has carvers 300 watt amp. It just cuts it. In my living room I'm useing a M&K V125. The M&K is a much better unit but at 2x the cost the A&R is quite a deal.

Strengths:
price, small footprint

Weaknesses:
nobs and switche's
