Review 1 of 6

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I have enjoyed the DLS-4000R over the past coupler years, but for the past year it has been giving me a WHITE NOISE sound after about 15 minutes of playing time. I hardly even use it now just because of that reason, are there any ideas to repairing this night mare. My Home Theater system has never been the same.

Review 2 of 6

Price Paid:  $599.00 from OneCall.com

Summary:
I'm sure these aren't the last word in absolute performance, but in their price and size class, I feel they offer truly outstanding value. They look great, they sound great, and by using their high-pass filtered outputs, they make my Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs OML-2's sound even better than they already did! Plus, the remote is really handy for set-up purposes.

If you prize value, I think it'd be hard to go wrong with these puppys. I bought a pair!

Strengths:
looks
value
remote
flexible set-up
low distortion

Weaknesses:
vinyl wrap (it looks good, but still...it's vinyl)
ultimate performance (but then, it's "only" a $600 sub and smaller than a deep freeze!)

Review 3 of 6

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Tweeter

Summary:
CHT 12 Subwoofer was a "gift" from my son who insisted that he needed my small 8' for his computer. I reluctantly traded.....it made my kit MCM 12" which I thought was good, sound like the speaker on cheap TV. Outstanding in every way; except the cheap black look. Tight and clean, after running it through an analizer I realized I had to turn it down to keep the base in line with the rest of the system. That last for a cut or two.....crank it back up. Now a heavey base man for life.

Strengths:
Tight,well controled base. plenty of flexability, power.

Weaknesses:
Cabinet a little underwhelming, over powering if not careful, shakes the floor above.

Similar Products Used:
MCM kits home made passive subs.RS sub

Review 5 of 6

Price Paid:  $475.00 from inetdistributors

Summary:
Very Happy with this Sub, everything I expected and more. It took awhile to dial it in and I recommend using a Radio Shack Sound Pressure Meter and a audio set up CD like Avia; I found using a Y adaptor for the LEF inputs to really increase the sound quality at low to mid volumes (I am using an Onkyo Receiver). I have this bad boy in a mid size room 20x24 and it really rocks, movies and music. I know there are other subs out there but I don’t see how you could ask for any more than this sub provides. The Remote is very helpful during set up.

Strengths:
Sounds Great & Lots of power!!!! You will feel the sound. Also Look great

Weaknesses:
None that I hsave have found
