Summary: a perfect addition
Review: i've owned my sub for a little over a year and it has proven to me day after day that it can take anything i throw at it and still perform wonderfully. It hits the lowest notes without a problem and at the same time is very crisp and very clean. being as i own a car audio business i know what it is to hear good bass. I would never trade this for anything else....except for maybe the 10" or 12"

Summary: Excellent! When size, and money matter...
Review: Looked all around Sydney for something small enough to be hidden anywhere, yet does not fall apart when the going gets tough (movie explosions, etc)... trust me, there is not many sub $AU1000 (my budget) subwoofers that can match this one.

I don't like big boomy bass, especially with music (the bass has to connect with the music, not dominate it!). But the sub must handle the tough stuff when playing a movie... the CHT-8 is excellent, if you want more bass, move up to 10", 12", 15"+... but what ever you do, check out the Velodyne series... I also liked the small M&K 8", tiny with good bass, but over $AU1000!...

Bad points for the CHT-8 are no remote, but in this price range not many (if at all) have this feature.

Overall... very tight sound, small(ish), does not fall apart, and for the price, unbeatable...

Summary: Ok, but.......
Review: Well, this sub is powerful, and it is tight and clean, but i can't give it 5 stars for one simple reason. It only goes down to 35 hz. The whole purpose of a sub is to fill out the lowest frequencies of the sound spectrum. This sub just doesn't do it. I listen to mostly rap music and i also have a fair collection of dvd's. Most people will probably immediately say....oh he listens to rap, he doesn't know anything about quality speakers. Well, either way, i will say that this is a high quality product, but if you're looking for really low bass, go with something else. Sony's SAWM40 does a good job for about 200 dollars, and the audiosource fifteen does a wonderful job for 190 dollars. I just can't justify paying 300 dollars for something that doesn't cover the whole frequency range.
