(More customer reviews)I bought this subwoofer to go along with some these other components: Yamaha RX-V663BL 665 Watt 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver and Mirage Nanosat® Prestige 5 Home Theater Speaker System 4 Nanosat Prestige satellites and 1 Nano CC center speaker. Choosing a subwoofer, or any home theater or stereo equipment can be a daunting task. There are so many options out there, most of them way beyond my budget. I did a lot of research and listening to different units. I checked out some of the audiophile forums and asked questions on an Amazon forum. I believe now that I made the best choice within my budget and the amount of space we have for the unit itself.
The first night I hooked up all the parts of the home theater system, I realized that I bought the wrong Y connector to connect this subwoofer to my receiver so we had to watch a movie without it. The sound was good, but the next day, with all the right connectors, this sub made it sound just amazing. You could feel the sounds in the sofa and on the floor. And that's saying a lot because we have probably the worst acoustical setup with a familyroom/kitchen combination that's 42 feet long and 24 feet wide with 10 foot ceilings with a lot windows on one side and a open doorways on the other. but this sub filled all the nooks and crannies with big, bold sound. There was a movie with a plane going across the screen and my sister was upstairs and said it sounded like the plane was going across the room, beneath the floor. She said she could feel the vibration in the floorboards. (Maybe we had it cranked up a little too loud or a little heavy on the bass?)
There's a one-touch Auto-EQ room bass correction with microphone to automatically adjust the sub. This was easy to use and afterward you can still fine tune it to your liking. There are both speaker level and line level inputs and a front mounted 8 segment LED display. You can set up 4 presets for customized listening modes. It's DSP controlled and adjustable (40 to 120) Hz low-pass crossover with subwoofer direct settings. There are a lot of different options and it comes with it's own remote control that features buttons for power, mute, EQ, phase, light, night and volume control. I posting a photo of the diagram of the back of the unit. I like the fact that there are a lot of options and settings, some that we'll probably never need, and at the same time it's easy enough to hook it up and have it sounding amazing without reading the whole manual.
You'll need to purchase a subwoofer cable if you don't have one already and possibly a RCA Y-Adaptor Cable (AH201) if there's only one input on your receiver. (The first Y adapter I bought had the male and female ends reversed).
I was afraid the 10 inch powered speaker wouldn't be big enough for this large room, especially with the little satellite speakers. If I had a little more money...but then no matter what you spend, there's always something bigger and even more amazing. I shouldn't have worried because this sub fills the room with wonderful sound, even though it has the acoustics from hell!
