Subwoofer For Bass Guitar For Sale (Jan 2023 Update)

I replaced an about 20 year old JBL PSW115D with this unit and I am extremely satisfied. This sub packs much more punch, is "tighter" without as much "doink," and is much more difficult to "locate," in that it fills the room with bass better than my old JBL. Other reviews mention that it takes some time to power up, but I have not experienced that. I think at very low (not regular listening) volumes it goes in an out a bit, but that is not something I'm concerned with. Another review mentioned that hooking it up with a Y cable increases performance but I am skeptical of that too. Mine is connected through a single digital cable (not regular RCA) from my receiver subwoofer-out to the left RCA (white) input. I am afraid to turn the unit's volume all the way up with loud music because it will likely shake things off of shelves in my house, and my wife would generally just kill me. I can't recommend this enough at the price point and would not consider buying a different 15" subwoofer unless I was truly rich and wanted the THX certified double 15 Monoprice offers.Ryan

This Sub is replacing a sub I had for about 20 years. I've had it for almost a year now and she's all broken in. This baby is an absolute beast! There are several connection options, as well as crossover options and bass management. This unit is very well thought out! I use it with a pair of Klipsch RF7'S which are some pretty heavy hitters! And this unit easily keeps up with them! Im extremely pleased with the performance. What you get with unit at this price point is outstanding! I highly recommend it!!David

This is tremendous bang for the buck, but they undergo absolutely *no* testing prior to being sent out when these arrive from china. I ended up having to purchase two units the first 24 hours of receiving the subwoofer (Mono doesn't do anything resembling cross-shipping, they will not send another sub until they receive the old one, regardless of if you ask them to put a hold on your card for example…) The first one's auto switch worked as an off switch when switched to auto, the second one's auto switch works once per power on. Because of the incredible effort required in returning I'm just using a smart outlet to control the sub rather than using auto, or leaving it powered on.) As far as the performance goes, it's a 15" sub with a decent amount of boom. The performance drops off very quickly, so it's more of a mid-bass monster that performs quite well in music when dialed in, and it IS enjoyable for movie watching, but it doesn't hit as hard on the lower tones as the other (much more expensive!) options for 15" powered subs which is completely understandable as this is a fairly inexpensive beast and Mono wants to sell the monolith brand (which hopefully gets a lot more Q/A attention!) I don't regret purchasing this one (and I was refunded about 48 hours after my first sub was returned, I had to work with the return process as the sub is much too heavy for drop off, but it went fine.) I purchased this as a gateway to the monolith amps in the short term as well as the monolith powered sub in the long term and based on the quality of the two units I received and the lack of cross shipping return options, I don't think I'll poke their high price options. If you need cheap boom, these lowly $250 600W 15" subs are excellent items to look at but don't expect the auto switch to work properly and make sure you test them thoroughly the first 30 days. I'd personally rather front firing instead of down, but that's just nitpicking at this price point.Bennett

It takes some adjusting with the gain, boost, and crossover to get the impact I was looking for but definitely worth it.jonathand456

Just got it in the mail. Sounds great! Perfect balance for my ONN desktop speakers. Volume works as master volume for satellites. 40-250 Hz is perfect to hear crystal clear grand piano bottom register. Delivers smooth ambient low end for orchestral music. This is the exact type add-on I was looking for!William

I am really at a loss after having this sub for maybe 3 months and hardly any use, all of the sudden out of nowhere just sounds horrible like its blown or a short. Anyone else have any problems with the 8in sub? I usually have no quarrel with Rockville equipment as a whole, its affordable great sounding speakers and units. So glad I got the warranty with it.. It sounded awesome until nowprestigefl-8

It gives boom. If that is all you want and REALLY all you want, simply low frequency vibration to add to, say, a pair of bookshelf speakers, than this is for you. If you give even the slightest bit of attention to sound quality, this is not the sub for you. I bought this sub for two reasons – one, it was $115. Two, it had a frequency response down to 20hz, which is nuts for a 10" EXTREMELY budget subwoofer. While it does crank out 20hz frequencies, they are not as loud as say, its 40-60 hz frequencies. Also, this is the main reason I returned this sub: the distortion is through the roof. If you use a frequency slider and slide down the spectrum, it sounds great. Large, loud boom that more than shakes the room even on small volumes. You'd think, wow! I'd love to play some music with that amount of boom! Yeah, slight problem… It sounds pretty bad when you do. The bass is muddy, wobbly, and gives off that nasty distorted sound as soon as multiple frequencies are played through the speaker. I have read reviews that say it is because Rockville used the same port size as the Rock Shaker 8" on the 10" version, and that causes the distortion. I cannot attest to this as I have not bought the 8", but I would say it sounds plausible. I have decided to keep my quite old 50w Sony woofer, as while it does not nearly by any means compare to the amount of boom this woofer gives, or give the amount of sub-50hz boom as this one does, it produces tight, clean bass unlike this Rockville. I hope that this was a silly mistake and that the Rock Shaker 8" really does sound better, and maybe one day I will give Rockville another chance (they have quite good reviews on car audio… something they sell more than two products in…). For now, please audiophiles like me and anyone who doesn't want distortion in their woofer, beware of this sub and maybe try the 8", I do wonder if it really is tighter and cleaner than this 10". I hope so. I was really excited to finally move on from my Sony, which has a nasty home-theater EQ which boosts the heck out of 60hz and lets everything else above or below it hush up, but this is quite the disappointment. Although, I will say that the SUB-OUT on the back of the Rockville does output a ***FLAT EQ*** that made my Sony sound much better, so if you're looking for a $115 subwoofer EQ neutralizer to make your low end bass sound better, well, this will do the trick, lol. However, that flat EQ did unveil some distortion as frequencies passed the 28hz response limit of the Sony… use this (in the most silly situation possible, as an EQ) only on subs that dip down to 20hz as well… but most of them have flat EQs anyway, possibly disregard this last paragraph, oh well it's there. Goodbye, hopefully Rockville fixes that port and until then no one buys this sub unless they desire distortion… please go buy the 8".Carlos

Like every other 'cheap' subwoofer I have ever heard it comes to no surprise that it 'hums'. To correct that the volume has to be turned down to compensate. The 'auto off' works every now and then. On the plus side, it doesn't sound bad at all. I use it in my bedroom on the little set up I have in there. Overall, you get what you pay for. Despite the little things, I'm happy with it.micus_kmdq3k

I highly recommend the TNE212D MTX subwoofers w/ Terminator box! I had these subs for 6 years and recently blew them. Might I add I always had them maxed out, they took a beating and lasted for longer than I expected. I recently purchased a brand new TNE212D setup and couldnt be happier! Great sound, great value, sleek design! I also, recommend the MTX Thunder 500.1 amplifier paired w/ the TNE212D.Thanks Sonic Electronix & MTXAshton

Im very impressed with these subs . ive had sundown , skar , jl audio , kicker , fosgate , soundqubed , pioneer , Kenwood etc and I thought these would just be okay . I just got these today and hooked up to a kicker zx750.1 750 rms @2ohm and wow these are great . I highly recommend these for budget builds.ornelaskev916

These speakers are excellent! Sounds great. I power mine with a MTX THUNDER500.1 amp set with the gain at 32v. Note that these speakers are wired as 2-ohm with only one speaker wire connector, so make sure the amp you use for these are 2-ohm stable.Brent

I have been running STX828s Subs for some time and they require more power to give a really good bump outside. I was pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of this SRX828 cabinet and it was just the ting I need to give my small outdoor PA more presence. FYI, I ran this cabinet with a QSC PLD 4.5 4 Channel Bridged and set the output to 3,000 watts; worked great.gamble300

These subs are very large and heavy! They sound great and are built like a tank; but you had better have plenty of help to move them around. These are for serious sound techs. At 162 pounds each, you won't want to be lugging these around as a bad. These are for sound companies and maybe DJs in large clubs. Personally, I love them; but I am only 125 pounds myself so they are a struggle to move around. Great for heavy-hitting, long-throw thumping!enhanced911usmc

Great addition to both my personal listening room, as well as to my Home Theater system. I bought one of these for my personal Listening room, and liked it so well that I purchased a second for my home theater system. With my personal system, I incorporated a a graphic equalizer and paired it with the Klipsch Icon's, an older M-1 series Kenwood amp, pre-amp & tuner. After adjusting the equlaizer for what I felt the room lacked, the sound is warm, full and wonderful. Enough top end out of the Icons for my liking, and plenty of bass out of the Synergy sub. I have sat and listened for up to 5 hours in a row and still not get fatigued of the sound.. Other systems I have heard, sound fine at first, but after about 30 minutes or so, the sound becomes grating, and annoying. This set-up is sweet and smooth. Never grating or annoying. This sub just completed the sound. I never have to turn the sub above about 1/3 volume, and I used the speaker terminal connectors on the sub, and then passed that signal off to the Icons. Worth the money and the investment, although this system is far from BIG BUCKS. Worked equally well in the home theater with Boston Acoustic HSi480's Ceiling installed 5 way surround speakers, Onkiyo TX-SR674 and this sub. Again, never turned the sub power up beyond 1/2 to get more than enough bass response. Movies rattle the house, before the speaker sounds bad. Be prepared to play with the crossover frequency, as your taste and other speakers will require the sub to balance it's response frequencies to those speakers needs.Louis Y.

no real need to spend a ton on a sub. this one sounds awesome and i do have lots of experience with home audio.. also, there are internet rumors of this particular model and other klipsch sub model amplifiers only lasting 2-3 years before taking a dump. might be something to consider. im not really worried about if for 169.00Filippo M.

I purchased this sub several months ago and have waited to write a review as to insure i had a feel for this product. All things considered, this is an excellent sub. During musical tracks, weather listening to hard and fast base drum beats or sustained base notes, i have yet to be disappointed. I have all of my entertainment integrated and weather i am playing blu ray movies, guild wars 2, or ps3 games the base is always enough. I have thoroughly enjoyed this purchase. I have the crossover set at 80hz on both my Yamaha receiver and the sub, it seems to be prefect for my set up along with a great starting point when setting up this subwoofer. If you can get this sub on sake, you won't find a better one for the price. If you are trying to decide, have no doubts, just buy it.Jessica H.

Iv'e only logged a few hours of play time, but based on that, the Bass1400 is a solidly built, compact, good sounding, all-in-one sub. Being an all-in-one unit makes it much simpler to install. I installed it in a 1984 Corvette, which of course has minimal passenger compartment space. It's mounted at the rear of the car, on 1/4 inch board anchored to the interior fiberglass, below the window latch ( Dimensions of the box happen to be a perfect fit). It adds a definite thump to the bass. Mounting placement, on a solid surface, can make the difference between feeling and hearing the added bass. I set the filters to the lowest Hz, set the bass boost to 0db, and then added gain to suit my taste. I can actually feel deepest bass notes. If you want to create a bass "beast", rattling neighborhood windows as you roll down the street, this won't do. But if you want to add deep bass to your passenger compartment (and maybe the car in the next lane), this will do. Given my space constraints, I don't believe I could have done better. Just hope it stands the test of time… the only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars.RobC

Ordered this sub online. Waited anxiously for some good weather to install it. Finally got to install it and it sounded great. Then the next day it worked half way through ONE song and DIED. Nothing from then on. I had read a couple of review that said their's died after a short time…figured they probably didn't know what they were doing. I've been installing stereo equipment for more that 25 years…didn't matter. Thought mine would end up differently. Boy was I wrong. Just not a quality item. Returned it for a refund.KeJo

I'm an audiophile, so I need some pure bass. But I'm not entering competitions, and I still need my trunk space for luggage. I screwed this on to my backseat in the trunk (it could not fit under a car with powered seats) and put the gain to 2/3, my wife came from inside (several yards away) and asked me to turn it down. So it's more than adequate power. I keep the bypass at 50Hz, and at that level the bass is clean by my standards. After hearing (and feeling) this unit, I will never again fill my trunk with oversized boxes seeking the loudest base – it's not worth the loss of space, and I'm not 2o yrs old anymore. And the absolute best part is the amplifier is built in to the subwoofer – one connection in one location and your done. If I change cars, I'll put it in my new car.blueban

I was skeptical at first of how this small sub may sound, that all went away once I heard it for the first time. It adds the right sound to help fill the gap between mids and highs and what the lows were lacking. If you're looking for a small powered sub that will give you great sound without giving up trunk or interior space this will be your ticket.pumperknickel38

It's very common issue with its amplifier. The OEM won't last longer, so you have replace the subwoofer amplifier usually you can get from eBay from China market.middleton70

This is a great subwoofer for the money. It really fills out the sound of my JBL Control 25's. Hooked up instantly. Might get another one for another stereo to really rock the house.chamonixbbx24

Build specs: .6 cuft w/passive radiator tuned to 30hz at 450w rms. Xover @ 80hz No bass boost. Details: This build is for a Miata. Which is tricky to make decent low bass in. Being the trunk not fully coupled to the cabin. And there's not much space. Polk dbs on a Rockford amp in the doors handle the punchy bass around 80hz really well. But generating good output below that, is where this sub came in. The design is targeting SQ over SPL. Modeling small sealed boxes, peaked to high with the woofer. Ported was really the way to go. However, port length became an issue. Which is how I ended up with the PR. The PR in use here is the Earthquake SLAPS 8 tunable PR. With an additional 160 grams of mass added. And a half pound of poly in the box. Design: carpeted, "bass tube" inspired design. With white trim around the baffles to match the vehicle. Baffles wider at the bottom for additional stability. Bottom mounted terminal for a clean look, with a groove for the wire to sit in. Results: Overall output is more than reasonable. Plenty of bass to be had. Kick drums punch hard, and hit high in the chest. Synth bass is well controlled and can get down below the seat, as if it's coming from the floor. Output at tuning is acceptable, followed by a very sharp drop off. But there is a strong cabin gain in the upper 40's. Despite not using the amps bass boost. The sub handles the amp well. With very little breakup up, only when pushed. For the price, with the end result I've experienced in this particular build. The tropo is tough to beat.N.P.

Meso 6.5s purchased for a pickup truck build. Currently have 4 installed in a 1.5cu enclosure tuned to 30hz. Used the recommend port volume. Subs play clean and low down to 30hz at 130db. Currently running a taramps md3k. The subs take the abuse I throw at them and stay in control even on a budget quality amplifier. If these subs hold up and take the punishment of daily use I will be buying more for my suv. As well as 2 more for the pick up. Great products at a great price. Thanks ct sounds.Bassmekanik

if this is your price range and sound quality is a must don't hesitate. I've never had a skar but I was torn between this or the svr and I think this I made the right choice. Definitely likes to be inverted but response is much more profound in a very narrow hz range. They take clipped power at 800 plus watts for up to 5 minutes and I just smell the coil getting hot moderately. This was done accidentally of course my stock alt couldn't support rp1500.1 power thirst. It's definitely stout can't wait to build a custom enclosure but 1.5 cubes seems too small when it sounded louder and cleaner down low inverted in a 2 cube prefab at 36 hz tune. But idk definitely best I've owned will see how long it lastsP.w.

First and foremost, the price cannot be beat! I opted for this bundle over the 306P bundle for more headroom in sound. Second, despite the crazy winter freeze we had, my order arrived at a decent time frame in CA.Now on to the items.THE SPEAKERS: 5 Stars. Very robust and well built. I might've bought more that what I needed (maybe I should've gone with the 306P bundle). But nonetheless these speakers are well built, has some decent weight to it, and the option of either a 1/4" or XLR input is a plus. Volume adjust knob is your basic 0-10 scale. I have these set to 6 with my DDJ-SX3 main volume and EQs at 12 o'clock…it is plenty loud at that level. You will need plenty of room if you are planning on using these as "book case" speakers.THE STANDS: 4 Stars. I think the platforms are a bit small for the speakers imo, but they still hold and support the speakers just fine. Although a bit teeter-tottery, they work well (they are sitting on carpet). Centering the speaker on it allows for a decent stand. The base weight will do well for speakers of this size and smaller. Adjustments are easy. Having a safety pin is a plus as well. However, be careful that you do not over tighten the knobs, or you can potentially strip the threads.THE MOPADS: 3 Stars. I am using them now. But honestly, I do not think they do too much at the volume I have them at. I can see them working better if the volumes are higher. But for now it is a meh for the pads for me. So i am satisfied with them. What they do add, is a larger platform for the speakers to sit on.THE TRS CABLES: 5 Stars. What DJ will not appreciate an extra pair of audio cables? These cables come in handy for when I actually need to use the 308Ps as monitors once I start gigging again. My DDJ-SX3 has dedicated outs for monitors and these TRS cables are an appreciated addition.A great bundle at a great price! Pick it up when they are in stock. They sell out fast so do not ponder on whether you should get them or not. GET THEM!!!Batangeno

I have had a recording studio for many years. I had Tannoy 6D speakers and Yamaha NS10s On my bridge. With age I have sold most of the analog audio gear. My Tannoys finally died after 15 years of good use. I bought these because the rest of my house has JBL speakers. These are good speakers. Not as much bass as I would have liked. I interfaced a graphic equalizer and used the Tannoy Sub and it is very good now. Now I am using the JBL 308P speakers on each side of my LG 55 OLED monitor in my MacPro. DaVinci Resolve 17 Studio. The speakers are well-defined but, not as good as the Tannoy reference monitors. For the price, a steal. PS: I am not being paid by the JBL company for this review.hartkopproductions

Well, I give them 5 stars because they sound like that; best sound in their category and several ones above. And no, there is no background hiss or anything, they are extremely quiet and silences are dark black. I am actually re-listening lots of music to learn a lot about what I couldn't discern before. Apart from the joy of discovering details and instruments unheard previously, some recordings will not be faring well, their mistakes and limitations are now evident, now that the masking is gone. And it is surprising how well they sound despite my small room. Therefore most everything is superb, except for a little, very minor detail… The other day I was on a session with a trumpeter, with whom we make some music together. Since my part was playing a recorded track as musical base (and his, was jamming on top), then – while I was busy equalizing the base live real-time -, suddenly on a particularly crowded Mid freqs. section of the track, a strange noise came out unexpectedly. I do know the track quite well, so I looked for resonances around, and there closely on the speakers themselves it was a middle freq. coveted rattling. I understand it is resonates by so precise specific frequencies and harmonic content (that have to be played) at a very high volume that it even couldn't be replicated with just a frequency sweep. I found it because that is the unusual type of middle freq. content and variation I like to play with, which is very rare in common musical genres. So after reading on reviews at the net, there is a good chance that the new shinny black plastic cover needs some silicone/material for padding. Since it remains an elusive event I will wait for some on line solutions/disassembling instructions before DIYing myself. ///No, I won't be returning my JBL LSR 305P MKII monitors, not for a minute, less for a day or more!Nspace

I am very happy with mine. I use it with an old Radio Shack miniature amplifier (SA-100c). At 17 watts/channel, it provides the necessary power lacking in many of the low-powered vintage components of the early 1970's. Also it provides excellent bass management with the additional 23-watt subwoofer / amplifier. I give an additional thumbs up to Parts Express for supplying the necessary power supply which is much better than a cheap "wall wart".Francis

I'm giving this 5 stars because I feel that it would perform exactly as intended if I was using it as it was intended. I purchased it for my kitchen. I have speakers and amps everywhere in my house all daisy chained together. I have very little space in my kitchen and the speakers that fit in those spaces never seemed to sound exactly right. This comes as close as anything I have tried. I had to mount it under my cabinets because if I left it on the counter it rattled my toaster oven. I agree with the reviews about the controls. Poor placement, but I have adapted. I do find it fairly loud paired with a pair of Dayton Audio 452s. Would I like it to have more bass, yes. Do I believe that it gets a lot out of a 2 1/2 inch speaker, yes. If they ever make something bigger with a 4 inch or 6 inch speaker I would definately replace it with that, but for the price I am happy with what it is right now.Paul

I love this compact sub! Works well inside my Arcade cab. I also have the speakers wired to the amp and it is much louder than the amp that came with my cab. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.Peter

I bought this subwoofer to replace a Polk sub that lasted about 8 years. I did a good bit of research and saw many complaints of premature amp failures on lots of the big name brands in the $300 price range. I started looking at higher priced subs and became interested in the Martin Logan Dynamo line as there were lots of good reviews and few negative ones. When it was offered at 25% off, I decided to take the plunge. I am very pleased with this sub. It is punchy and defined yet not overbearing. It’s not a kick you in the chest kind of thing (at 50% volume on the sub), but it sounds great. I’ve had the sub a little over a month and haven’t tried playing it louder yet because it blends in so well as is with my 20+ year old Infinity home theater speakers. I’m just letting my AVR control the crossover setting. I did install and use the Martin Logan apps, but to tell the truth, for general listening, the sub sounds good without using them. That being said, the SubControl app is nice for easily adjusting settings if you want to add some extra rumble to a movie, for example. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase. One last thing… I had no desire for the current plethora of fake black wood finishes on subs, and sadly, that seems to be about the only thing you can find in cheaper subs. It’s not for me. I love the finish on this sub as it blends in rather than sticks out like a sore thumbJohnnyD

So many options and alot of research landed me on this fine sub. If you are seeking a great sub forusic and home theater, look no further. The integrated room correction and the app help to blend this sub seemlessly into any set up. If you are on the fence based on watts I can assure you for a small to medium space this thing will rock your world. Looking forward to picking another up to run these in dual sub configuration!! Once again Best Buy customer service was exceptional and shipping was flawless.SamsungFan

I purchased this sub to replace my Infinity Entra sub that I bought back in 2001 from Audio King. I have liked these speakers, not the best, but worked for what I could afford back then. The issue that I was having is that the sub since I moved it downstairs is just not hitting hard enough for me anymore. So at first, I decided that I was going to try replacing the receiver, but the Denon that I want was on sale for $1199, and I didn’t want to spend that much to replace my perfectly fine amp. So I decided to buy a new Sub instead, and after doing my research narrowed it down to 3 different ones, but needed to hear them before purchasing one. I decided to go with the MartinLogan Dynamo 600X after being very impressed with it at the store, and glad that I did. This sub is fantastic even out of the box, but the best part of it is the MartinLogan subwoofer app that is available to download from the app store. It allows you to fine tune the sub to your space and also run room correction with the additional Anthem ARC app. After playing with the app and fine-tuning it, which took about 30 minutes it sounds incredible. I can turn the receiver up to half volume now, and the sub kicks in, unlike my old one that had to be maxed on the volume before the lows kicked in. I have only had this sub for 3 days, but am highly impressed with it so far, and glad that I went with MartinLogan over the Klipsch that I thought I wanted from researching subs. As soon as I can afford to upgrade my other speakers, I am going to look into making my whole system MartinLogan. I have been impressed with MartinLogan for years but have never been able to afford them, now that I can, I am so happy I decided to go with them over Klipsch or Def Techs.TVGeek

Great value subs. Could be more better design. Clip light is before the limit lights. You might think youre already clipping and its only on the limit. None of that heart pounding feeling from a subs. You could get a subs from almost the same price and can feel the subwoofer power but more than the weight of this product. Not good for a mobile DJ like me. You can choose what you prefer. Im planning to add wheels at the back for easy transportation.kimmpoy

I just received my 15" Rockville Sub. I've been running 2 Behringer 18" subs for a few years, carrying amps and stuff. Too heavy and I just don't want to carry all that stuff. I played my single Rockville RBG 15S today for a few hours in the garage and it just about ran me out of the room. It took a bit to get it adjusted, but it is just as loud as my 2 18" subs are. It weights about 74 pounds so you'll need a dolly to carry it. The bass boost is awesome! I've got it turned most of the way down and listened to lots of different kinds of music from rock, pop, urban/hip-hop, classic rock you name it. It sounded really good! I'm not sure if I really need 2 subs, this is for a smaller set I am building for small venues. I'll try it out at a school this weekend and see if it fills the room like I believe it will. Deep full bass is what it produced. I have all my audio running out of an equalizer into the sub the out to my powered tops. I actually had to reshape the bass down because it was too much and way too loud. I still have some tweaking to do on it, but it is a good subwoofer. …and I still might buy another one, even if I don't need it. The price is right!craig_too_cool

I didn't know what to expect, but this sub is AWESOME!!! I could not have asked for anything better. I only have one, it would be complete and utter overkill with 2 for me. I've done outside parties and inside venues and it works flawlessly. But sub out there for the money!!!carlb53

VERY deceptive sales & marketing by Best Buy. They sell this Bass 500 "Wireless" subwoofer, in a "package" with a Bose TV Speaker soundbar. No mention of other itmes needed for it to work ! But when you open up the Module 500 setup instructions, it simply states that IF you are using it with a Bose TV Speaker ( not a Smart Soundbar) then you need to connect it via a 3.5mm audio cable ( not included). A WIRELESS Subwoofer – that needs a WIRE ( not included) to work with the soundbar they packaged it with. What a bunch of crap – bait n switch.AngelaM

I purchased the Bose 300 soundbar and 500 sub in April 2021. Within days the soundbar and sub would just stop working with Spotify. On researching Bose forums I discovered issues with Bose and Spotify dating back to 2019 on the larger 700 model. Bose has never addressed them and released the 300 with the same issues. Bose also claims that the soundbar works with Google Assistant. Not in NZ it doesn't. At best it was flakey when used via a google mini. After 37 days and 90 resets of the soundbar and sub, I returned Bose to NL. I paid the extra for Sonos and have never regretted it. The sub itself was great – well sized for my room and it certainly made the soundbar a lot better. But I do expect that it will play what it's advertised to do – work seamlessly with Spotify. On that score Bose products are a complete fail.Silver fox

I purchased this sub as a package deal with the sound bar. Loved it for about 10 mins. It had this weird popping to it and found out it was a weak BT connection. I had to reset/dis connect & re-connect. Then it worked great for the rest of the evening. Next evening it happened again and I couldn't fix it. So I tried optical cable wiring and still the sub had very weak signal. It WAS NOT behind any furniture and WAS NOT obstructed by any walls. It was always with 10-12 ft of the sound bar. Tried trouble shooting the issue and found out that this is an engineering problem with this particular 500 sub. Such a sad day to find out Bose is no longer delivering solid products but, selling inferior products off of their name alone.KC

Got thia for my 07 E60 and MAN THIS HAS BEAT even and middle beat leve this thing has some juice! I love it alot I highly recommend this to anyone looking to had some good beat!Myles

Installed this in a 2022 bronco. It works amazingly. No comolaints. Got it in sale fir $140. Comes with the bass know as well which is concenient to adjust the bass from the front. It is larger than i thought but jt is removeable if i need more trunk space.SanAntonioguy

This Sub blew me away as soon as I got it hooked up. For such a great price you can not beat the sound quality and the bass this 12 sub amp combo puts off. I owned 2 12 Rockford Fosgate P3s growing up but once I graduated college I felt it was time to grow up. It has been a few years and I missed the bass so I decided to look for something smaller. I found this and thought it was the best alternative to save money and get a little more bass. What I got was a lot more bass then I could have imagined and great quality sounds as well. This was a great $130 well spent, I feel like a kid again!Anonymous
