I've had this sub for about 4 months now. It is part of my home theatre setup which uses Infinity SM 152s for the fronts, Video1 center, and SM 65s for the rears. I am powering these with a Kenwood KR-V7080(Sony STR-DA50ES on order, WooHoo!) The 152s have 15" woofers and produce quite a bit of bass, or so I thought! I hooked this little cube up, plugged in Fifth Element & T2, and was rattling the whole house! After experimenting with location and level settings, I am very pleased. This is no Sunfire or Velodyne sub, but then they cost a hell of a lot more!! For the price, you can't beat this sub!! Based on price and quality (Course I'm partial to Infinity!) gotta go 5!

Too good for the money. I have it bundled in the Infinity CMS-2 package. For the money it is a damn bargain.

Price is spectacular. Very accurate and clear bass for both movies and music.

maxxes out a little faster than it should.

This subwoofer is very accurate compared to alot of different subs that I have listened to. It sounds spectacular in my dolby digital system. The neighbors always come to my house yelling and complaining that their windows rattle. I think that this sub has to be pretty darn good if it shakes my neighbors windows. I dont know why some of the other reviewers say that it sounds muddy because it is far from sounding muddy. Just have to position it right.

Definitely its price, and on paper the amplification looks good, pleasing (not outstanding) looks.

Very boomy, not as powerful as the power rating suggests.

I know this sub is cheap. If you just want a way to add cheap bass to your system, then this isn't a bad buy. If you really appreciate a clean sounding sub then please look at some other ones before you go for the cheap one. Currently, I am using a Polk PSW 350 which is leaps and bounds 1)more powerful, 2)cleaner, 3)plays deeper, than this Infinity. I only paid $290 for the Polk. Velodynes are good, but in my opinion, only with movie tracks. THey also get boomy with music and are kinda slow with fast bass. The Bostons are very good, but they are more expensive than I was looking for. When I heard the Infinity I was extremely disappointed. Also, with heavy bass tracks (i.e. rap, R&B, etc.), the Infinity bottoms out much quicker. Now, I am not really educated about the true meaning of the power rating of the Infinity, but I would suspect that it is a peak music power rating. The Polk I have looks modest on paper, at 100 watts, but this is an RMS rating. The peak is 265 watts. Its loud and clean at its peak.
