Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $999.00 from Ultimate

Summary:
Produces prodigous amounts of extremely low bass. Movie explosions and special effects take on an ethereal quality due to the output and extension from this unit.
Blends well with music to the point that you can not distinguish it's output from your main speakers, but you'll miss it if it isn't there. A proper setup is necessary to achieve optimum results, but that is the case with all home subwoofers. I am very impressed by what this little box can do. There are subs that go deeper and are produce more powerfull SPL's. But only a small handfull at this size and price. The design is rather unique in that it has a 10" driver with (2) 10" passive radiators. Sealed box design.
Chet at Definitive Technology has provided some usefull information on this unit

Main driver weight is 21.6 lbs
Low end response as tested is 20hz -3 db
2" thick front and 1.75" side cabinet walls.

You can't appreciate what 1500 watts of powered bass produces until you integrate this into a home theater and experience it first hand. Simply amazing.

If you have that desire for deep pounding bass and cabinet size is an issue, then this may be the subwoofer for you.

Strengths:
Very low frequency response with high output capability.
Small size lends to easier placement.
Overall weight is around 65 lbs.... sturdy and solid.
Blends well with other speakers.
High and low pass infinitely variable crossovers.
0-180 degree infinitely variable phase control.
High gloss piano finish caps.

Weaknesses:
No auto on bypass.
Heavy weight makes it harder to move around the room during placement.
Should have a sturdy grill for driver protection.
Non removable power cord.

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $700.00 from eBay

Summary:
Its so amazing how this subwoofer blends into rest of the system so easily. I did not have to do anything special for placement. I just unpacked it and put it next to my floor standers and the whole system just worked well togather. I tested the response from sub using test frequencies from my amp ranging from 35 Hz to 88 Hz and it took them on perfectly. I don't have anything to test it below 35 Hz so I don't know how it handles frequencies under 35 Hz.

Strengths:
Mpowerful, very tight, blends in perfectly.

Weaknesses:
Grill cloth material is not very durable and you can easily tear it in case of an accident. They should probably have metal grills.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $1100.00 from Home Theatre Company

Summary:
The SuperCube I is the most seamless sub I've ever heard in the price range. You can close your eyes and not know where it is, yet with 1500 watts of Class D you know its there.

Strengths:
Smoooth and seamless. Good crossover options

Weaknesses:
I am constantly adjusting the volume for different formats. That may just be getting used to it and experimenting
