BIC America F12 12" Front-Firing Powered Subwoofer

Pros: Hands down the most powerful 12" sub you can buy for under $200. I had a Polk PSW10 and that worked great for the small room it was in. When I moved to a much larger living room the Polk couldn't keep up. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing the F12 and this speaker is exactly what people are saying.

Cons: They only drawback I can find is a lack of tightness for music playback (and really only rock/jazz; electronic/rap sounds great). And I think that is being a little picky. If you're buying this because you want the room to shake, you've made a good choice.

Overall Review: go ahead.. buy it

Pros: Can now FEEL as well as hear low sounds. Especially Movies. Love that it AUTO goes to standby. Easy to convert from 120v to 240v if req.

Cons: Nil

Overall Review: A good buy with quick delivery.

Pros: I love this sub for movies. I have it paired with a Dayton Sub 1200. Together, they do an incredible job. They shake the room when appropriate and blend into the background perfectly when needed. I am also running energy CF 70 front speakers and an energy CC 10 center speaker. I don't know the type of surround speakers (they came installed in the roof of the house we bought). I highly recommend this sub. If you can, get two subs to truly fill the room.

Cons: Not aware of any.

Pros: I've had one of these for about a year and a half and its great with no problems. The bass is fairly tight down to its lower limit and I have it set at about 4.5 on a dial that goes up to 10. Set up my crossover at 80 and its been going fine since. The speaker was very tight when I first got it and took a while to break in but that's often to be expected from a new speaker. The amp is based on a BASH design and it rated at 150 watts continuous which is more than enough to make things rock. Unless you want to shake your neighbor's house down the road this has enough power for most anyone. For 200 bucks it represents a great combination of price and performance. If you want a sub that sounds like a thousand bucks then go out and spend it, but I am satisfied that this was a good purchase especially with free shipping as its big and heavy.

Cons: None, is a great performer for the money

Overall Review: If you're looking for a large sub capable of producing some good low bass without breaking the bank then this one fits the bill very well. No problems with it and still enjoying this. Performs better than what you might expect for the money.

Pros: For the price, you don't find too many subs that can hit the lows this sub can. The connection options are also plentiful thus no compatibility issues with older AVRs. Easily meshes with newer AVRs that control crossover levels, too, through it's digital 5.1/7.1 or Pro Logic switch. So takes the guessing out of it--but leaves it available for audiophiles who want to do everything manually. The bottom line, for this price, it beats the socks off the competition. Forget the Polk subs or the 8" varieties (unless you really want to pay for a high-end 8" sub). In this price range, it's the best thing going. After owning one, I bought a second to complete my 7.2 setup.

Cons: The only con I can think of is the size--but that's not an issue for me. I wanted a 12" sub. With that said, 150W RMS for a 12" sub is a bit light. But MORE than sufficient. Don't worry about the wattage too much. It's not even clear how comparable or reliable the measurements provided by manufacturers actually are. All I know is that this sub brings plenty of bass--and I only have it at 40%. But it is a big speaker. and cabinet. So if space is an issue, I can see it being a con.

Pros: great sound for the price

Cons: none so far but time will tell

Overall Review: I had to replace my polk audio psw505 after the amp fried for the second time (i gave up on it). I was reluctant to go with a brand i was not familiar with but i am very happy that i did. The rumble i get from this is better than i was expecting it will rattle the pictures on my wall and i do not have the gain/volume all the way up it is less than half atm. In short stay away from polk psw505 and buy this one you will not be disappointed. In time i may look at getting a 8 or 10 inch to beef up the punch factor (can not have too much bass lol), dont need any help with the rumble but that is another story this sub does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Pros: Slams hard at half volume.

Cons: RCA Sub Input seems to be picky about sources. MY aftermarket ASUS Xonar DX sound card worked fine with the sub out jack, but my motherboard Realtek 5.1 produced no bass. Probably not the product's fault, but I have to put something here.

Overall Review: I'm using this for a custom 2.1 computer speaker setup for my boys' gaming PC. Using an old ASUS Xonar 7.1 sound card, along with Edifier left and rights, his setup is LOUD. He is just about to be a teenage, but I'm confident this setup will be something he can move out with.

Pros: with proper tuning and room placement this thing is a beast. I have waited about a year give or take to rate this. and i absolutely love it. 5/5

Cons: can get boomy

Overall Review: yes
