What a steal !!!

If your in the market for a sub and your budget is $500 or less. this is your guy because it will trump everything you can find less than that. You could even get two if that is your budget.

This is probably the best deal I have ever gotten on a sub. This trumps my Polk PSW110 on every front. The bass is clean low and accurate. If you want great bass for your stereo or home theater this is the onw to buy without breaking the bank. This is...

Only thing I can spot is the owners manual is very vague and there were a few small blemishes on subwoofer cone and surround. Probably from manufacturing idk. But it is really not an issue as you can only see them if you look very closely and is...

beware of returns

came in a good packaging and arrived on time

Be careful about the return policy, YOU CAN'T RETURN THIS EVEN IF YOU GET A NON-FUNCTIONAL unit. Contacted customer service within few days of getting it and they won't take it back. Sorry newegg, never buying from you again.

SW-112 Subwoofer

This speaker shakes my living room so hard that the Christmas decorations my wife hung on the front window bounce around and fall off the window. Its the perfect size for a 12' x 19' room. I must note that it does not hit the higher base frequencies...

Very low base. Powerfull!

Due to the 12" speaker, this woofer does not hit the base frequencies between about 160 Hz up to 300 Hz very well. But any 12" speaker would have that limitation.

Good Sub

I have it connected to a denon 2311CI and paired with RF-82's and the full setup really is tremendous. When I say it's fantastic in HT, I mean it. Audyssey set it to a gain of -2, so there really is a lot more headroom possible than I even come close...

Clean sound, hits low, sounds FANTASTIC in hometheater applications. Plenty of power. Clean looking. Paid $380 which I think is about right. Sounds identical to the RW-12d. Still haven't gotten it even close to it's limit due to fear of neighbors...

Large, not as musical as it could be. But then again it sounds better musically than any other home sub I have come across. Slightly boomy at times. Doesn't have a low pass input (you can't feed the speaker line into the sub and have it output to your...
