Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

In retrospect this speaker might have been a little overkill for my room. I have a subwoofer output port on my Mitsubishi HD TV. The speaker plugs directly to the port. The resultant output is so booming that I actually have got this speaker turned down to a very minimal point. Still great but I may have been able to get by with a 50 watt unit. If you want something to shake the environment, this is it.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

I have a Bose home theater system and wanted to add a little extra kick to the system. So I bought this sub as a secondary unit to supplement the Bose sub that I have. Works great and provides the deep low rumble I was looking for when watching movies.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

Donot expect to hear the thunderous, sharp claps of thunder that you would hear from an excellent Dolby surround system at your theater. To approach it would require an outlay of some hundreds of dollars more than the [$] I spent. However, the deep bass that this Yamaha devlopes is sufficient to compliment the very good main front speakers I have.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

Connected the Yamaha subwoofer to my 100 watt Onkyo receiver. My 100 watt Bose bookshelf speakers lacked the powerful base I was looking for, and the subwoofer definately filled that void! Great, undistorted sound in a 12' by 20' room for music and movies. I also like the separate volume control as the amount of base desired depends on the source.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

Great product for the money. I use it in my office at home and with my 5.1 setup, it vibrates my pictures etc on the wall. It is well worth the money! Great for a small room. I wouldn't recommend it in my Big Family Room with Vaulted Ceilings, etc., but I paid a lot more for that set up. I would highly recommend this product for the money.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

I bought this subwoofer to use with the 5.1 home theater system in my living room. The room is about 350 square feet. It easily fills the room with sound (and vibration) with the volume set to about 2. It sounds and feels great and was easy to hook up using the subwoofer pre-out connection on my receiver.
The only negative for me is that the power and volume switches are on the back of the speaker. This is inconvenient because the speaker is inside a cabinet in my living room and it's hard to reach the back to turn it on and off.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

I thought my old system put out nice bass. I had two Pioneer 3-way speakers with 12" woofers that provided plenty of rumble. This little Yamaha blows them away! Don't be fooled by the "100 watt Dynamic Power", it is in truth a 50 watt sub. This is not a con as it performs as well as many true 100 watt subs. For the price, it can't be beat.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

Wow! I bought this subs thinking I will try them on my system and then return it. I am using a very old Sony reciever/amp that I bought back in 1991 and I am using the speaker level inputs. I was amazed when i first hooked them up and tried it for the first time. The bass is deep and tight on both movies and music and its just 1/4 on the power. If I heard this sub before I saw the price I would have not expected [$]price tag (on sale). The setup was very easy and opening the box was more difficult than hooking this baby up. All I can say is even if you have an expensive system give this sub a try..most likely you will keep it. So, needless to say I decided to keep this. Good product.

EXCELLENT VALUE!!!!!!!
By BobVerified Purchaser from Levittown, PA on 7/20/2007
Pros:

Bottom Line:

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

If you are looking to provide deep low frequencies to a Home Theater in a Smaller room, you simply can't beat the value. Obviously there are better subwoofers out there, but remember you are only paying [$] for a powered Sub that will more than deliver the sound quality the average home entertainment enthusiast requires. If you have a very large Great Room, or are spending over $20,000 for a home theater, than this one might not be for you. I highly recommend this product to anyone just looking for a good quality subwoofer at a more than reasonable price.

Service & Delivery comments:

Service and Delivery were top notch, I highly recommend using this company.

Comments about Yamaha Yamaha 10" Subwoofer In Black:

This product met my needs very well; an attractive subwoofer from a well known and praised speaker vender for less than [$]...and by the way; it sounds great too! I just needed something to replace my Sony subwoofer, which just stopped working altogether after only about 2 years of service. I guess they just don't expect you to hang on to things longer than that anymore! The only complaint I have is that the power button location; which is on the back of the unit and is a bit difficult to locate.
