I bought this sub to give my movies a bit more kick in the low end. I have made do without a sub for quite a while, and visits to a friends’s house that has a full 5.1 system leave me jealous every time. The problem is that I live in a small condo, and I needed a sub that was relative powerful yet compact.
When I saw this one for sale on Amazon, I decided to take a chance. And I am glad I did.
It was easy to set up, it came with a cable which I was able to use to connect to my receiver and get it up and running in no time.
It has a light on the front toward the bottom. When the sub is in standby mode it glows red but as soon as it detects the receiver has powered on, the sub get out of standby mode and the light turns green.
Another reason why I like this sub: it is front firing. I am not and audiophile in any way. But in my condo where I have people living above and below me, I need a sub that fires toward the front so I don’t bother my neighbors. I don’t know if this is a consequence of being front-firing or not, but it seems to provide a good amount of low end punch with very little effort. It makes movies and music really come to life.
I am not a music lover per se, and I don’t usually listen to bass-heavy music very much. So I cannot comment on how powerful it is or is not. For my needs, and for my money, it is a great sub for movies and music. That was ultimately what I wanted it to do, and for me, it succeeded.

Con este subwoofer Onkyo todo cambió. Ahora el bajeo que se escucha es bien definido, con textura, con un gran rango dinámico. Por ejemplo, un bajo en la música, ya sea metal o rock, no solo oyes el bajo, sino escuchas claramente las cuerdas, los flaps, el rasgueo. Con mi anterior sub solo era retumbe y ya.
Lo recomiendo mucho. No soy audiofilo, tan solo un entusiasta del buen audio. Escucho de muchos géneros, tanto heavy, black, death, rock, reggae, algo de pop vintage, incluso cumbia, clásica y ópera, y en ninguno me ha descepcionado.
Otra cosa a favor, es que talvez tardes unos días en ajustar el nivel y la frecuencia de corte, pero una vez que la encuentras, no volverás a tocarlas, se equilibra perfectamente para toda tu música. Con mi anterior JBL todo el tiempo era ajustar el nivel.
En conclusión, lo recomiendo mucho para presupuestos limitados. Estoy seguro que hay mejores subs, pero no al precio que pagas por este. Estoy seguro tambien que hay subs más caros y ni así le llegan a este.
