I had planned on getting 2 lower priced BIC subs for my home theater but I've convinced myself to spend a little more $$$ and get the RW12 since it seems to be the best sub for less than $300. This is already more than I'd like to spend but it seems like anything less will be a waste of money. I will eventually buy another RW12 sub to have a 5.2 setup in my 15x18 dedicated home theater. Is there another sub that I should consider for $300 or less? I'd love to hear feedback from actual RW12 owners. Thanks in advance

I have one set up in a very large room with an opening onto a larger room. For my taste it has enough output, but I'm not that big an bass volume. Sound wise I find it to be acceptable... but not terribly good. It doesn't dig terribly deep, rolling off somewhere around 35hz, and fairly steeply by 30. To its credit I do not find it to be very boomy as long as you keep it away from corners. For music I don't feel that it is a detriment, often blending very acceptably with the stereos, but it produces far from the most detail I've heard from a sub. For movies it doesn't quite provide the punch I'd like.

Overall I am not unhappy with it, but I wouldn't really say to go out and get one. On a side note I find that it sounds way better when you use a y-splitter on the input rather than a single RCA, with the difference being far more than simply the sensitivity increase.

Hope my jumbled thoughts help!
