I use this sub for my desktop gaming computer setup in my room. It excels with frequencies 25-120Hz (so set the crossover to 120Hz for best results) and is clearer and louder than the 400 watt Bose 12 inch subwoofer in my car! And for a fraction of the price. I bought this for 60$ and let me just say, it was possibly the best 60$ I've spent in a very long time.
Pros:
-I got it for 60$ brand new!
-Since it's only an 8-inch driver, it makes it significantly more long-lasting.
-Volume is adjustable anywhere from a tiny rumble to shakes the walls! Seriously! My walls literally shook!
-Sounds very crisp, clean, and musical!
-Blends in with just about any furniture.
-Other reviews have said this isn't a "party sub" but indoors it'll turn your living room into the club!
-Possibly the best-sounding and loudest sub in this price range. Definitely worth at least twice the price!
Cons:
-It wasn't free!
-The 8-inch driver, although it sounds clean and tight, can't clearly produce sounds below about 25Hz (humans can only hear 20-20,000)
-Bigger than I expected, but not too big! The enclosure is about 10x10x10 inches
Other notes:
-Excels when using RCA plugs instead of traditional speaker cables
-100w does not directly correlate to loudness. It's louder than you'd expect!
-I recommend using this for computer or home theater setups in a medium or small sized room
-Wish I bought two!
If you have reasonable expectations, this subwoofer will not disappoint you. It is actually quite good for the price. You just need to keep in mind that this is not a larger, higher powered subwoofer. It certainly does not put out as much as the Klipsch R-12SW in my home theater setup, but it should not be expected to either. If you are considering this subwoofer for home theater use, I could see it working better if you used a pair of them instead of one. For the price two of these may be a reasonable substitute for more expensive larger single speakers.
PS: I got the factory refub a5+ direct from audioengine for $329 and this sub on special from Amazon for $99. So for $429 I have just a superlative sound system.

Primero que nada, quiero decirles que esto no es como un USB, que se conecta y ya funciona. El bajo necesita de cierta calibración para obtener el mejor equilibrio en el sonido, en especial si tienes varias bocinas.
En mi caso al inicio el sonido del bajo se escuchaba muy saturado y emitía frecuencias de sonido que no debía, por ejemplo: disparos, estos eran muy escandalosos y resonaban mucho, o en algunos juegos los pasos de los personajes tenían mucho bajo, lo cual no me gustaba para nada, lo último que quería era un sistema de sonido con bajos por todos lados.
Me tomó un promedio de 4 horas calibrar todo mi sistema de sonido y muchas horas buscando en foros gringos para obtener los "mejores" resultados. Al final no solo el bajo se vio afectado, sino las demás bocinas Andrew Jones empezaron a reproducir más niveles de frecuencias y liberaron la carga del subwoofer, por lo tanto el sonido ahora es más claro y el bajo solo suena cuando debe de sonar.
Aun así, no estoy contento con la calidad del producto, lo compré pensando que haría juego con las demás bocinas, pero no, fácilmente puedes pasar de el y comprar un bajo mucho mejor, tanto en calidad como visualmente. En lo personal compraría uno más grande que tenga el twitter al frente, simplemente para más placer, jaja.
