Some "chuffing" from the front port when overpowered.

Sounds incredible

Blow up anytime the power goes out and you are without a sub, and $500+

Avoid Yamaha's subwoofer's like PLAGUE. This is the SECOND one that has failed after a power outage. The first one, I blamed myself as I did not have the sub on a surge protector. However, I had the new one on a good surge protector and I was actually laying beside it reading a book when the power came back on. It sounded almost like something was ramping back up in power (almost like THE SOUND OF a hard drive starting up). Then there was a sound like a match lighting. I turned on the entertainment system and sure enough, just like the sub this replaced, power is on, but it makes no noise. I checked the fuse, it is showing about 4-5 ohms resistance, indicating to me it is fine. Here's another worry for you. If you try and get a fair price on the internet, then YAMAHA claims you didn't buy from an authorized dealer. That means no warranty. But who wants to be without their sub while they wait for Yamaha to fix it anyway? NOTHING else in my house fried EITHER time. JUST the Yamaha subs. Avoid YAMAHA like PLAGUE. -Tom Steele
