Summary:
Man I thought I had one heck of a good sounding sub in this ps-12. Bought from circuit city back in 2005, and now after just 3.5y the amp went up in smoke! Well I WAS so happy with it I wanted to repair the amp. Called around after searching the internet for a parts place, find out the amp is no longer available!!!! REALLY, a 3.5y old sub doesn't have parts available???? I been running my Polk Audio speakers for 11y now, and parts are still available, but not for infinity, so they sure will NOT be getting anymore business from me!!! STAY AWAY FROM INFINITY AT ALL COST, DONT WALK, BUT RUN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! I would buy from Pyramid before I buy another infinity product again!!!

Summary:
My first sub was an Infinity BU-120, I burned up on me outside warranty. I then bought a DefTech sub which lasted just beyond it's warranty. I then bought this sub at video only. It lasted to just after it's warranty expired and then burned up on me. I took it in for repair at my local infinity repair shop and they found a hole burned into the circuit board and that board was no longer available. ??? It's not that old. Well, went to video only and they have the new pretty infinity subs as well as klipsh, but i'm done with infinity subs and the klipsh has even a shorter warranty, so no way. Found some very nice velodynes at frys, but too much money. Found the discontinued dps-10 at onecall.com for 217.00 and jumped on it. Got it today and it sounds about the same as my infinity ps-12 did, so I'm very happy. Take my advice, avoid infinity subs, they are unreliable. Too bad, my entire speaker system is infinity and I love them.

Strengths:
Bass, sound, pretty much everything a sub should be.

Weaknesses:
Too hot and burn up. They need to charge a little more and put QUALITY amps in them, not cheap burnout ones.

Price Paid:  $189.00 from Circuit City

Summary:
Onkyo 150 watt / Primus 250 / PS12 sub

My intention was to purchase the Primus 250 towers. In the showroom the bass was acceptable but based on reviews it was recommended to use at least the PS8 sub. I decided on the PS12 based on price (Circuit City closeout / floor model for $189). After a brief trial with placement of speakers and re-securing a couple of pictures that were vibrating on the walls, I am throughly pleased with the combination. I am glad I opted for the larger PS12, because at higher listening levels the 12 sounds rock solid. Bass transition is extremely smooth; at 1/2 to 2/3 gain the bass is very natural. Only by turning the gain down was it apparent that the 250's were severly lacking deep bass. My listening room is a roughly 30 x 30 L-shaped lower level with carpeted concrete floor. The combination quite easily fills the room.

Strengths:
Strong, solid bass
Good headroom from the 300w amp
Smooth transition as paired with Primus 250 towers

Weaknesses:
None found

Price Paid:  $350.00 from crutchfield

Weaknesses:

Summary:
This sub is Great if you Have a fan on it. In thirty min of listening you lose sound quality. I think it sound great but not for more than 30 min and yes i have had it checked out and it is fine just no air flow to cool your amp.

IF YOU ARE SMART YOU WOULD NOT BUY THIS SUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strengths:
Strong 30 min SUB

Weaknesses:
Over heats, loss of bass quality,
