Strength:

TS-W50 is a well-built subwoofer that is rugged and reliable. Its small size and design may make it a good choice for those with limited space, and its simple control panel may appeal to users who want a straightforward experience. Anyway, check out these business loans in Michigan.

Weakness:

No issues found so far.

Strength:

I like the wooden cabinet that adds a touch of elegance to the overall design and also provides durability and protection for the speaker. The compact size of the subwoofer makes it easy to fit into any room or space without taking up too much room.

Weakness:

Atlanta Drywall Contractors finds it cool!

Strength:

The sound was forward, but unrefined, not harsh, but simply unrefined, all the details were there, but the intrgration between mids, bass and high frequencies was just...off. I thought that if maybe I biwered my speakers it would sound better, but it ended up sounding worse. Really bad. Worse than the Cambridge. full brake service

Weakness:

None . .

I bought this sub many years ago. Sounded great when I first bought it, but over time, the foam around the speaker basically disintegrated. It still works, and I am in the process of finding a replacement speaker for it.

Strength:

Being played at super low bass at loud volumes

Weakness:

the cast makes some vibrating noises but hey, bass really shakes things.

Some worker offered my dad a subwoofer for free because sho counldnt use it because she got to many complaints from the bass! So I hooked it up to my Pioneer vsx-816k stereo reciever I bought at circuitcity for a little more than 200$. I am able to push a lot of bass out of it without having to worry about the subwoofer blowing. It has one inplut plug, a switch so you can make the speaker go In or Out, and 4 speaker jack plugs. It has a socket so you can hook an electrical thing into it. This speaker is awsom. It gives me the deep bass I need while I am watching TV or listning to loud music. It as also great for blasting at loud volumes like I do. I love plaing music super loud.

Strength:

SMALL!!!! Great for those who live in an apartment complex who don't want to disturb neighbors. A lasting sub based on personal experience (this is ODD for an Aiwa product) Makes a good "mini" sub for your kid's entry level system. Two sub inputs (high level speaker in/out and RCA type, can be used to input LFE sub-out on a receiver) Phase change capable (switchable between normal and reversed only)

Weakness:

This is the biggest weakness of all... LOW POWERED!!!! It won't do much rattling, but the bass is there :) (even with this, remember placement of ANY subwoofer is CRUCIAL!!!!) Only 3 crossover settings at 120, 90 and 60 Hz) For LOW LFE standard bass you won't find much at all with this sub, I'd only recommend this sub for music.

This was my first subwoofer ever that I still have and use for about 7 years continuously (it was bought for me from my parents). This is the 35-watt TSW5U model. For an entry level simple sub this is great for those who listen at low volumes and wants a power sub that will last for years. From my perspective, I have driven this sub at high volumes (using the high-level speaker inputs) with various amps and doesn't seem to drive past it's capabilites with it's internal amp (don't worry that it'll blow out)... unlike an Infinity 250 watt sub Entra Sub Two that I blew in less than a month... I went for SVS and got a substantial upgrade from there. While this sub is nowhere near the output capabilites of an SVS (not even close is too much an understatement), it is great for something VERY small and entry level. It integrates well with my Bose 401 speakers in my 10 X 10 room (despite it's only 3 crossover levels, I have it set to 60Hz it's lowest setting)). I love the SVS but it just rattles too many things, for something a lot simpler and cheap I would stick with this miniature sub. For some reason after upgrading to a Dolby Digital receiver, this sub makes a low level "hum" (I corrected this by connecting an S-Video cable to my computer... strange!) Different configurations might correct this, I'm not sure of the technical reason, it seems many people have this type of problem with powered subwoofers in general. For the price I paid for at the time it was worth it... with a LOT of other subs competing these days you might want to find this one a LOT cheaper.

Strength:

Low Price!!

Weakness:

Little boomy when vol. turn up

Great bargain if you can get your hand one...Although it is refurbished, I got mine for $41 + $25 shipping from Onsale.com. Great addition to bookshelf speakers - at low volume it significantly enhance my B&W LM1 speaker - great match!
For such low price, you can add one to anything - mini system, computer audio, etc.

3.5 star for quality, 5 star for value. Overall still 4 star!

Strength:

Low cost with very good performance-- excellent addition to a system without a sub. Run your normal speaker wires through the built-in crossover, and it filters out the sub signals (great if your receiver doesn't have a sub out.)

Weakness:

None that seem to matter to me. Actually, it's kinda heavy, but that only matters if you're moving up three flights of stairs on a hot summer day.

Listening preferences (in case you care): rock (classic/modern), techno, ska, rap, pop.

Favorite song to blast this sub with: "Epitome" my Massivivid

I bought this sub over 2 years ago to compliment my low-budget-high-school-kid stereo system. I have a Pioneer SX-205 reciever (100W, I think) with a Pioneer PD-F507 25disc changer running through two bookshelf speakers I salvaged off a really cheap Daewoo mini-system. I liked my setup, but it really had no bottom end. After looking around at the different subs and testing them out in the store, this one sounded the best and was pretty cheap.

So far, I have had no complaints with it-- using it in small rooms (doorms, etc.) It's always on when I'm listening to music, and I run my computer's DVD player through my system and movies sound great. Sometimes when I'm in the mood to crank it, I turn it up and the walls shake. The difference before and after I bought this sub is incredible-- definately a good purchace.

I definately recommend this product to any high-school/college aged people looking for a relatively good buy on a decent sub. It's definately not a high-end product, but it holds its ground for the middle-of-the-road listener. I just wish they'd make a similar product (amplified sub with built-in crossover) for my car-- I've ridden with friends with expensive amps and huge subs and this sub sounds like their systems to me.

I expect to take this sub with me for quite some time, it should keep up with any system upgrades I make in the next 5/10 years.
