...ports on the back, however Mordaunt just advise you to use the Left 'Line In' port instead, which worked fine.. Also if you not an Audio expert you will probably struggle like me to work out where to set the different levels on the back.. I am fairly technically minded and do know a fair bit but i still struggled with some of the settings (i.e crossover, frequency responce, adjustable knotch filter, channel frequency settings, there is also a knob ...
...i still can't work this one out lol) Never-the-less after maybe 30 - 40 min of playing around with the settings the system now sound tremendous... the sheer amount of air moved by the aluminium driver and digital amplification is amazing and i guarantee you will not be disappointed... Overall i really can't knock a single thing about this Sub and have already recommended it to several people... This isn't just an amazing Sub for the money, its just ... more

Just purchased the 309i from Richer Sounds and my first impression was it looks much better in person than it does on the pictures.. Its a very solid looking Sub and is much larger than you may think... The actual driver on the unit is also very slick and tidy looking... So as far as looks go, you will definitely not be disappointed..
When i comes to sound, i don't believe there are any Subs on the market that will offer you as much oooph for your money... The maximum power output is actually 360W (stated on the back of the Sub) and i believe the RMS is either 175W or 200W.. It literately only took me 5 min to set up the Sub but i was slightly baffled as to why there was no 'Sub' ports on the back, however Mordaunt just advise you to use the Left 'Line In' port instead, which worked fine.. Also if you not an Audio expert you will probably struggle like me to work out where to set the different levels on the back.. I am fairly technically minded and do know a fair bit but i still struggled with some of the settings (i.e crossover, frequency responce, adjustable knotch filter, channel frequency settings, there is also a knob you can flick that has 2 options 0 or 180, i still can't work this one out lol) Never-the-less after maybe 30 - 40 min of playing around with the settings the system now sound tremendous... the sheer amount of air moved by the aluminium driver and digital amplification is amazing and i guarantee you will not be disappointed... Overall i really can't knock a single thing about this Sub and have already recommended it to several people... This isn't just an amazing Sub for the money, its just an amazing sub full stop.
