Strength:
- Solid bass at above average levels
Weakness:
- Cabinet flaws show during higher volumes and peaks
I made the mistake of buying a home audio subwoofer at a website geared for computer enthusiasts. Don't ask why, I don't know either, and that's why I paid for it (literally) with the full retail price. I'm stupid.

Strength:
Goes really low, but I don't think 20 hz is realistic. Works great for music if you set it at the right levels. If you want to blow up the house during the Matrix it can do that too.
Weakness:
A REL Strata would be much better, but for the money you can't go wrong with this sub. I had a gift card at Best Buy and I needed a sub so this was the natural choice; better than everything else they had there except for maybe the 12" Klipsch sub which was much more expensive. I have used it for home theater and have been very pleased, it can rock the house during movies when it needs to.

Strength:
solid bass, servo does it's job, no muddy sound or distorted below 40hz
Weakness:
none unless you want this sub to sound like a 12" from definitive or B&W solid performer, no complains. I have a yamaha receiver and had a tough time finding a good sub that can handle the LFE I wanted.The sound is simetrical and can be distinguished not muddy or felling apart like.No distortion below 40hz, The bass blends with any kind of speaker and perfroms very good with music too. This is the best sub in the $300 price range. If you want a better sub go ahed and sped $700+ on a high end sub. But if you want a sub well constructed that sounds really good in the $300 give this one a shot. Similar Products Used: Polk,JBL,AR,Yamaha,Velodyne |

Weakness:
none unless you want this sub to sound like a 12" $1000 Definive tech or B&W This one is a solid performer. I own a yamaha receiver and had a tough time finding a good sub that can handle the LFE output i wanted. This one gives solid bass with no distortion, low frequency lows are well felt. I've tryed other subs finding that the only the hig end $700 + subs gave the LFE I wanted until i find this one. I tested on HT set up and craked on the volume with only deep bass that was felt all over the house. it will blend with any speaker type or size.Overall this one is the best in the $300 price range.

Strength:
Accurate and musical sound reproduction, plenty of power, goes low, a very good value.
Weakness:
Sub's performance becomes boomy during high volume This sub was bought as a replacement to a cheap 6.5 inch sony sub (which happened to be remarkebly good). What attracted me to this LFE was the price point at under $200, the power of the amp and the fact that Yamaha said it could go down to 20hz. I have mixed feelings about this sub. For the msot part this sub performs well in all situations during music and movies. I sometimes feel like the bass sounds a little fake while listening to movies and is just a moaning roar with little definition which could just be the movie soundtrack. For music, which is what I mostly use it for, the performance is very good. The bass that it produces is musical and is not just one noted like some cheap subs. It also has adequit amounts of power and head room for what I use it for. It can competentanly reproduce very low frequencies although I think that Yamaha exagerated the responce numbers. For the most part the bass seems controlled and apropriate. At high volumes the sound becomes quite boomy and the woofer seems to overpower the small cabinet. It also does not shake the room to the extent of other subs I have heard. The looks of this sub are very ordanary resembling a black cube. In all this is a good sub for most music and movies, but does not work as well during high volumes. Similar Products Used: Toshiba DVD Yamaha Receiver Sony Speakers |

Strength:
Excellent value, superb sounds, lots of bass, features far above its price, very Versitul wiring options so it can be used in almost every aplacation
Weakness:
none This subwoofer is amazing!!! For under $220 you can have a subwoofer that compares to products two and three times its price shipped to you. I recomend this product to anyone who is looking for a subwoofer whether it is for stereo or surround sound aplacations. I was amazed by how low the sub could go for only a 10" woofer. You will be blown away by crystal clear, super low bass. |

Weakness:
None Either online or via good bargain-hunting in a retail store, you can bring home a 250w, well-built, superb-sounding, 10" Yamaha YST-SW315, downfiring subwoofer for around $200! And I assure you that this sub will stand up to, and even knock down, many, many other subwoofers in the $500-750 range. This puppy is an incredible bargain! I've compared it to subs from Klipsch, Tannoy, JBL, and Sony... nothing in this price range, if anything is even available in this price range by said manufactuers, even comes close. Yamaha has truly hit a home run with this work of art. It will fill your listening environment with sounds, bass, and LFE equivalent to subs in price brackets far above the unbelievable $200 you'll spend on this wonderful toy. Run, don't walk, to sample and purchase this sub, before Yamaha discontinues it because they priced it too low and people are afraid to buy something this inexpensive, even though the quality and the performance are CERTAINLY there!
