Summary:
Great sub if well set.crossover need to be set at the right level in order to blend with main speakers. Different types of music require volumes of different levels so that the sub doesn't sound too boomy.I'm using it in a mid-sized room (20x16) and this sub really can produce good low frequency effects.I should say it's a value for money sub and performs very well for a 10inch.To me the controls (crossover,volume&power)which are located on the rear of this sub is a good feature by JBL.With the controls located on the rear this sub looks very neat and simple.It also prevents kids from playing with the controls.Some users seem to suggest that the controls should have been placed in front for easy access.It depends on the way you looks at it.

Strengths:
Good low frequency production,value for money,neat look,JBL logo well placed.

Weaknesses:
none so far

Summary:
First active sub, and a great purchase. Very powerful fro a ten, kicks the ass off a lot of 12's like Wharfedale topaz etc. Bought in New Zealand, therefore was $1000NZ (on sale to $80), about $350 US. Buy one for a first sub or as an auxillary if you have a mid quality 12.

Strengths:
Very rich powerful bass- My 530w amp cant overpower it in relation to other speaker volume!

Weaknesses:
Did staer to make strange burning smell etc when used in strange way-with cheap stereo wired in and running off a discman with car converter. Maybe that's just me...

Summary:
Tight bass, very powerful for 100W 10" subwoofer. I have to adjust my A/V receiver RX V-430 to -8 db, freq to 75% and Vol 65% to get the sound right. You have to connect both input (left and right) with Y connector to get the max power of the subwoofer.

Strengths:
Good Simple design, Auto on/off. Input for power or preamp, L and R ch.

Weaknesses:
The knob is hidden at the back of the subwoofer. Have to connect L and R ch with Y connector.

Summary:
this product sucks ! i just bought this subwoofer and after playing it for few hours, the sub just STOPPED ! I returned to the dealer, gave me a new sub of the same kind, closed box. The sub did pretty well. But again, after a few weeks, the sub again stopped. The controls just went hot and smells like something is burning inside. if you are rich enough and willing to take a risk and want to spend a few bucks to give it a try !

Look for other brands, not this cheap Taiwan made sub.

Strengths:
name, maybe

Weaknesses:
quality,
