Ok. I put the little guy though the WOW (war of the worlds) gauntlet and it did very well. I went through the lightning scene and felt the strikes just as I should with a sub like this in my 12'x12' room. The really deep stuff was somewhat missing, but that is to be expected with the F3 of 27hz.
On to the church scene. Well, this really showed how good this little sub really is. Again, the really deep stuff was missing, but this well designed sub got to the brink of over-excursion but never crossed the line. JBL did a great job (as expected) with matching the driver to the box and amp power. There really isn't room for improvement when it comes to how deep this thing can go and how much it costs.
Me being a DIY sub guy I don't feel that $189 is bad at all. I really don't have a gauge for sub pricing anymore so I feel like this was a good buy. I would not hesitate to tell anyone to jump on this while the price is where it is.
What I will say is that my main living room Infinity 1260w with a 300w amp in a 1.2 cu ft box easily bests this sub. It digs deeper than this thing ever will and costs almost the same. Granted, it isn't something you can buy off the shelf, but is a testament to how good Harmon drivers really are.
I'm glad I have a real sub in my office now. This little guy will have a 15" friend some day. I need a table in here...
