Summary:
Great bass. Have it set up with Y cable. Never had a problem with it. I guess I was lucky compared with others. Bought it new from a relative that worked for Harmon Kardon.

Review NaN of

Price Paid:  $400.00 from best buy

Summary:
total agreeance with rest of reviews.dsp-12 Monster bottom when it work's.
I also have a bad amp in mine now and initaially looked on line for replacement
to no avail.My regular service guy laughed at me when I asked him to fix it saying JBL would not sell him parts.Finally paid Best buy to look at the amp just to tell me what I already knew,the amp was blown and the module wasnt avaliable(I was under the strange notion that they would fix the amp but NO)
So I finally expressed my frustration to a JBL tech this evening and after about 30minutes of L.D. on my nickel he finally tipped me off at a few directions .yes, he knew the amp was a dog but he couldnt say it in a direct manner,but the obvious fix was 1-if you have a reciever that will support it (x-over)buy a power amp of some sort and bridge mono or another reciever he kept saying which may be a option for me except I am not wild about sticking a power amp since I dont have the space in my rack..2-he told me to look at mcmelectronics.com and they may have something that would work.I did find a 139.00 sub amp that I am going to look at closer which may be a good option ,specs were 240w @8ohms and 340@4,I am going to look at this hts-12 I just read about too maybe this will help,and I would be really curious if there isnt some kind of product liability there??

Strengths:
earth shaking bottom ,ez to set up

Weaknesses:
very big drag when it craps out since all the speaker designers and marketeerers have pushed us away from speakers that have ba--s.So they kind of forced us into having to have subs cause the car speakers in my setup just wont handle the depth that my old speakers did ...

Price Paid:  $250.00 from harman Kardan outlet

Summary:
The worst sub ever made! I have had it in the shop longer than in my home theater! The JBL customer service and for that matter the Harman Kardan Co. is the worst I have ever delt with! They know they built a lemon but they will not take care of the people who have supported them by buying their products. I will never buy a Harman Kardon product again!!!

Strengths:
None!

Weaknesses:
Litteraly blows up whever a scene in the movie does!

Review NaN of , from Winston Salem, NC

Price Paid:  $243.00 from Harmon Outlet Store

Summary:
I have owned the DPS-12 now for 3-1/2 years. The amp module 60302 has failed four time and I'm now looking for a replacement amp. The Sub sounds great, but the amp's a lemon. JBL service has been great..they have repaired this for me every time I called and have been very receptive to good customer service.

Strengths:
Sound Great when its working

Weaknesses:
Something is very wrong with the Power Amp module 60302. DOnt know when it repeatly fails after 4-6 months.

Similar Products Used:
All my other speakers are Klipsch
