d-box david 250watt sub wolfer

Have seen this sub priced at over $600 Cdn. in magazines, purchased it at Costco/Price Club in Ottawa for $299 + tax. Solid construction, 12" front firing driver with rubber surround, dual front ports, 300W auto-on amp, rotary controls for volume, cutoff, and phase. Speaker level input and output with binding posts, not spring clips, and high pass filter on speaker outputs to satellites.
Produces tight solid bass down flat down to 35Hz, some drop in output at 30Hz (verified with test CD). Does not reproduce much below 30Hz. I'm very pleased with it's performance, mated with a pair of Paradigm Atoms. Not boomy or bloated, and can produce levels as loud as any normal person would desire. I doubt there's a better sub out there with this quality of construction and full compliment of controls for less than $500, let alone $299. The closest competition in this price range would be 8 inchers from Paradigm or Energy, but neither of these would keep up with the D-Box based on my in-store listening.

Apparently D-Box has a standing deal with Costco to be their sole supplier and keep prices low. Fantastic value. Five stars for the price.

I have owned this sub for about two years now and anyone how would rates this sub negatively, considering the price of under $300.00 Canadian, are up-set because they paid too much for their sub how happen to sound just as good!!!!!!!
The sub perform extremely well for what one as paid for. Correct, the external parts might not be of Krell standard, this does not take anything away from this amazing value. Though, I do not use this as my main sub with Martin Logan speakers along with Celeste power amp, I could not recommend a better sub for anyone who needs to upgrade or spike their mid price speakers.

I have received extremely good service with D-Box services. I wanted to disable the auto-shut off on the sub and they sent me the fix by fax no question ask.

5 stars for value

None I could find

I bought this sub at my local Costco after conducting some on-line resaerch. The positive reviews on this site and the price were enough for me to give it a try. This is my first subwoofer purchase and I have not been disappointed. I am not an audio expert, but I sure like the sound this sub produces. The different level controls proved useful in helping me tweak the unit to my room and speaker set-up. I have a couple of smaller BIC bookshelf speakers and this unit provides the neccesary bass to make the whole room ROCK! I would heartily recommend this sub to anyone.

Price and performance

none

Bought this 12" subwoofer at Price Club because I had just upgraded to DD/DTS Technics 930 receiver for HT. Compared all the lower and midrange subs available and it matched or beat their specs and beat their price by a big margin. Paid $278 plus tax. Next cheapest was 8" paradigm for over a $100 more.

Fits in well with my present HT speaker setup because of it's adjustability. I will be upgrading other speakers in the next year and again it should be capable of complementing just about anything because of it's range and adjustability.

Good longterm investment value.

excellent

Solid, 12" speaker, quality of sound.

None that I know of.

I like the product having in mind how much I paid for it. There must be many better ones on the market but at what price?
Again, a good product at an excelent price.

it's Solid, it sounds awsome, excellent quality!

None so far, (size maybe, but then again, it's a twelve inch!)

I went ahead and read the reviews for this sub and knew I would not be disapointed. So I went out and bought it. Well as everyone says, it's a winner!! no doubt about it. I had not heard of the company before, eventhough they're located near my place. I hooked up the sub a couple of weeks ago and I am very satisfied. for 299$ (can) its hard to find a good solid sub in that price range. Not only for the price, but also the quality of sounds that come's out of it. I have heard other subs that costs higher and I must say that I'm happy to have found something HALF the price with excellent bass!! my final word ? go for it!!

Yep!,Another Costco spur of the moment purchace,$299+tx.
Good solid bass , seems Im always fiddlin' in the back to
get it "just right" and placement's important but for the
low price this box seems to have all the features and
performance a casual listener would ever need.

Can anyone tell me if their unit seems to switch on and
off with no input signal present (reciever off!).

Anyhow , its good to hear some feedback about the 300 .

Im happy with it !

Can't say enough about the D-Box this is a very musical sub that can also fill the room with deep, clean sound. I had recently upgraded my speaker system to Klipsch all around and was using a $400 sub AudioProfile that wasn't very clean. It did not blend well with the Klipsch speakers, so I went sub shopping. I bought the D-Box and have been very happy with it. The cabinet size is the same as my old model, but the clean sound and room filling bass make it a winner. A true 5-star sub.
