Summary:
I have had this sub from day one, and I think it is awesome!!!! I have used it at MSU parties and for home use and it is loud and clear. I only wish it had rubber surrounds because in time it will start to crack. When I was using it at a party at MSU, the only thing I was worried about was the amp getting too hot. It never failed but all I did was turn the gain down a bit and it was good for 16 hours straight at almost 1/2 volume and more!!! I want to upgrade, but I don't know to what and at what price I want to spend

Strengths:
Very sold construction and no cheap plastic grill!!

Weaknesses:
Sometime I notice a wind noise from the port, but that is just normal at low bass

Summary:
This sub was bought in 1996 and I'm still using it today. I have it set up in a 10'x14' room in the corner. I use it in conjunction with the Energy Take 5 home theatre kit and it sounds GREAT. Never had any problems.

Strengths:
Great bass. Quick response despite the woofer size. The grill is wood, not cheap plastic!

Weaknesses:
none really.

Summary:
Just an update to my earlier review...I dug up my old paperwork and found out that this is a 1995 or late 1994 model that I have. I have used this sub for almost seven years and it has never given me a problem!! Originally I used it with my old Pioneer Pro-Logic Reciever, then I upgraded to a Pioneer Dolby Digital Reciever, and most recently, upgraded to a Harmon Kardon Dolby Digital/DTS/Pro-Logic II Reciever. Now I have to update my main stereo speakers and the center channel as well. I''''m probably going with some small JBL Floor Models. I am really impressed with the long term reliability of this old sub, and shocked to see that some of JBL''''s newer subs are not living up to this one. That''''s no good...

Strengths:
Great Bass Response, Long Term Reliability

Weaknesses:
None.

Summary:
Sounds great even in my den which is FAR from accousticly sound (15X28 arched roof). Even with my current "modest" system (Sharp Fronts, Pioneer rears and center, but don't worry, my JBL 412's and S-center are on the way as we speak!!!!). I am hoping to eventually move everything into a smaller unused bedroom which is approx 12X15 flat roof. I am anxious to see what she can do once put into a corner. Highly recommended for the buck.

Strengths:
Tight powerful bass, love it so much I am going to buy another.

Weaknesses:
Things keep falling off the walls!!!
