Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I have owned this sub for around 2 years now and this thing thumps. I have a panasonic 5 speaker stereo with biamplification and i ditched its speakers for some floors and i got this sub, hooked it up to the low speaker outputs and this thing hits i dont know why it does but with this set up it just does.

Strengths:
I get a large amount of bass without having to crank up the gain on the subs amp

Weaknesses:
the led light is dying but not like i care.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $99.00 from circuit city

Summary:
So far so good, this is the second subwoofer in my system. I've only had the sub for 2 days and I haven't played with it much so I don't quite yet have the sound I'm trying to achieve, but I will pretty soon. I first hooked it up to the LFE output on the back of my receiver and turned the volume up on the sub and the sub volume on the receiver and I noticed that it wasn't as loud as my smaller 50-watt sub. I then hooked it up with the speaker level inputs(there are no speaker level outputs) to the "B" speaker terminals and switched the impedance setting on the amplifier to push a 4 ohm load since I knew it would halve the impedance. So now I'm getting just about the same amount of loudness out of both subs, with no boominess, however for some reason I think DCM should have put a more powerful amp to drive the 10 inch woofer. It's just a lil bit underpowered but maybe it's just me.(who knows)

Strengths:
different options for connections,10 inch woofer, auto signal sensing mode, tough build

Weaknesses:
amplifier may not be enough to power the 10 inch woofer

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
