Fli Active 12 Subwoofer

Advantages: Reasonable-ish value and very nice design
Disadvantages: Simply doesn't sound deep or loud enough

...), and maybe this is why other reviews are so favourable. Another reason is that perhaps smaller cars sound better (mine is a Rover 400 saloon), and also possibly the revised model may sound better... I hope these views have helped your decisions. On the whole I would give this a miss and get a more expensive subwoofer....

Review of FLI 12" Active Subwoofer BASS BOX PC4-2

FLI 12" Active Subwoofer

Advantages: All in one compact design. Very Powerful.
Disadvantages: I have not found any.

...This is a very good product. A great addition to any car audio system. I Bought this active subwoofer system because I did not want the untidy mess of all the wiring from the sub unit to the amp, plus I found it easier to just buy the unit all in one because then you are guaranteed to get the correct specification amplifier. The other advantage of this system is that you can still use the boot of your car, because the unit is all in one enclosure all that has to be done to take it out is remove 3 cables with fork fittings and the two phono cables and then it can be lifted out of the boot. The Dimensions of this unit are 500(L) x 350(W) x 380(H)mm which is not huge and the unit does not weigh a huge amount and can easily be lifted in and out with out any problem. This unit has a RMS Output power of 300 Watts and a Peak Output 0f 1000...

Review of FLI 12" Active Subwoofer BASS BOX PC4-2

Clean and pristine subwoofer

Advantages: Clean sound output, stylish and very modern
Disadvantages: Quite pricey, average sound output

...The Toshiba SW 1000 Subwoofer is unique looking in the way that most people think of subwoofers as being box shaped, which in fact is true for most sub woofers. The SW 1000 looks rather like a closed laptop and may fool some people into thinking it is. This particular subwoofer measures at 67 cm in length, 31 cm in width,7 cm in depth and it weighs a quite considerable 5.2 kg. Taking all the measurements into account you can see that this particular subwoofer is quite large considering its sound output. But, then again most subwoofers are quite large. The subwoofer produces a 35 W (Watt) RMS amplifier output. RMS power is the amount of continuous power, which is measured in Watts. The level of RMS or continuous power determines how loud and how clean the sound output is from a sub woofer. The 35 Watts of RMS power means that...

Review of Toshiba SW 1000

Look At My Subwoofer!

Advantages: Good Sound Projected / We Got A 5 Year Warranty
Disadvantages: It Isn't The Nicest Looking Thing

...Straight to the point; another attempt at a review that is technology related! Well, here goes.... The YST-SW015 is a subwoofer speaker which comes in a nice box along with a simple to read instruction manual, which informs you of all the technical specs and so on. All though to be honest, it is easy to set up anyway, I mean even I can do it so... Now, looks wise, in my opinion, it is not the nicest looking thing in the line of speakers, it is a kind of black cuboid shape, measuring 11 Inches in Width, 12.61 Inches in depth and 12.81 Inches in height. So, as you can visualize, this is quite a compact design, and so fit in to the most modern of homes. Also present is a silver coloured panel with the basic volume control functions present on it which are marked clearly. This subwoofer (with a power of 70 Watt) is powerful...

Review of Yamaha YST-SW015

How can I not own a subwoofer?

Advantages: Reasonably priced, easy to set up, reliable
Disadvantages: Not stylish, a lot of wires, not top quality and volume

...of the blue, a mate told me he?d seen some 5.1 speakers on eBay for around £50, and reckoned that was pretty cheap. Having around that amount lingering in my dad?s PayPal account after some sales on eBay, I thought what the hell, and bought a reconditioned T5900 system then and there. Needless to say, that was pre-ciao and I had a habit of buying stuff without looking up comparisons and so on. Point was, it had a subwoofer! What a great name! I suppose it was the deciding factor in my purchase of a GeForce graphics card a couple of years back as well, so it has been a bit of a recurring factor. Generally speaking, with my new-found knowledge, the bit at the front indicates satellite speakers, so 5.1 has 3 at the front, and two at the back, while 7.1 has three at the front, two at the sides and two at the back. The bit at the end...

Review of Creative Inspire T5900

Great bargain sub-woofer

Advantages: Great sound for the price
Disadvantages: No remote control

...A subwoofer can really finish off a home cinema setup but the price can be frightening. I spent £160 on a Yamaha YST-SW90 and never regretted it. The speaker is active and will take line level or speaker level input. It has it's own volume control and also an adjustable filter to select which portion of the bass is reproduced. The speaker also has an auto standy mode that switches it off if unused for a period of time. Be warned though this sub could shake your neighbours, or their neighbours. If I haven't convinved you, listen to this sub at your local hi-fi store....

Review of REL Strata 5

"Hei neighbor, turn the volume down"

Advantages: Realistic SRS sound, Dolby surround mode, awesome memories.
Disadvantages: The sabwoofer is really big, no remote

...I have visited My friend's house a couple of times and the only question I had to ask is "Are we going to be watching any movies" - he is an owner of this subwoofer set and the sound will impress even a deaf man. The bass was so clear and hard the juice in my glass got a form of radio waves. SRS (Surround System) function created a realistic aquatics effect and with a Dolby surround mode on - even your neighbor will come with pop corn. This set leaves some unforgettable impression in your memories. So far the speaker works just fine, not cracks on bass or pitches, straight treble. It is an excellent addition to any wide screen. My thoughts? - Love it. For this price you won't regret you bought it....

Review of Sony HT-IS100

Such Amazing Clarity Out Of Such A Small Thing

Advantages: amazing sound quality
Disadvantages: you can't plug it in to your PC

...is very easy (please just trust me)). The hole set up process took less than 5 minuets. During music playback you have to do nothing (except adjust the volume) which is great. On some speakers you have to adjust the Base and the Treble (on some more complicated systems the subwoofers and the tweakers etc ?) on the Bose it is all done for you, admitably you cannot raise the base so much that the windows start to rattle but that kind of fun has a time limit and it is very short. ~Quality Of Sound~ As you probably know Bose are already notorious for their superior sound quality and their extremely high standards; and the sound dock is no exception, even though it is a relatively small system it can fill a room even when it is only at half volume...
