" ... I don't know about the actual woofer construction but I don't need to, even if it's not that good because like I said it is well tuned and seriously loud my whole mobile home rattles. ... "
" ... I have my receiver sub level at -0+ and the Sub only turned up to 10 o clock and its shaking my floor. ... This is one awesome SUB !! ... "
" ... The bass is not boomy at all. ... Really love this sub. ... The value for money, the deep deep bass, the power, really just wow! ... "
" ... I was pleased with the subwoofer. ... "
" ... I am going to get a companion sub for my dynamic duo. ... "
" ... Onto my actual review of this subwoofer: ... At very high outputs (feel body and room shake levels) this subwoofer had some distortion and was less precise than a R-115SW or SVS subwoofer is but you are spending nearly 3 times as much for one of these subs so its tough to compare. ... This is a great subwoofer and i would recommend it as a massive upgrade to any 8" inch or low end 10-12" subwoofer but are you getting the precise, tactile, overwhelming power of Klipsch R-115SW or SVS PB-2000 . ... NO your not but not everyone needs or wants that level of precise bass. ... Peak power is often a marketing number anyway not a reference for power output of any subwoofer. ... For the $300 for this subwoofer you could not ask for more and this will be a pretty decent upgrade for most. ... "
" ... Will this sub play a wide variance of frequencies to sound good for what you paid? ... You can make your floor rumble and couch vibrate, at moments you WILL feel the bass. ... And it sounds clean IF the source is clean. ... I have a smaller 6" powered sub that actually hits much punchier than this 12" from bic does when playing a lot of music. ... It hits HARD and sounds very tight. ... I have for sure heard much better bass from other boxes and whole systems. ... "
" ... Usually when you buy a cheaper sub , that's what you get , a cheaper sounding sub. ... When it came I was so impressed I bought a second one and it rattles the hole house and its clean , but you have to play with the adjustment to get it just right , when you do I think you will be very satisfied. ... But if you love bass buy two , and you're still not out that much money. ... It sounds very good with music but when something explodes on TV and it sounds like your door blowed off the hinges you will understand what I mean. ... "

" ... I strongly recommend this subwoofer it won't disappoint. ... "
" ... This woofer is amazing!! ... "
" ... It's clear and powerful without overpowering or sounding unnatural. ... "
" ... I purchased this back in November 2018 and since then, it has delivered some good, solid sounding bass. ... That being said, if you're looking for decent bass, this is not a bad purchase, even if you don't get it from Amazon. ... "
" ... The bass that comes out this bad boy is flawless . ... "
" ... Although being a bit of a bass head I'm still considering a second one myself ... "
" ... While the 8” AJ Pioneer sub in the series sounded good, I felt like I was lacking punch and power in the lower end of the frequency spectrum. ... The AJ towers have an awesome mid-bass punch, now with the BIC PL 200 II music and movies sound so full and dynamic with that low end I was missing. ... This subwoofer has punchy, smooth, deep bass. ... "

" ... In short for the price you cant lose. ... This is one of the best budget \ Mid range subwoofers. ... The 250 watt RMS power is respectable and the 20hz freq response is nice and much lower than most subs in the price range. ... "
" ... I just got it today and for $300.00 you cannot go wrong. ... "
" ... The Best Bangs for the Buck!!! ... "
" ... This subwoofer is worth the money, best bang for you buck. ... "
" ... By far the best bang for the buck. ... "
