Summary: Unleash the power
Review: Ok I bought this Jensen sub a few months back now, but as it is only an 8inch it wasnt quite enough bass for me. I needed to fix this problem. I though gee this is a power amp right, if i want more bass i need a bigger sub but could not afford these. So in order to fix this problem I had a 10inch Pyramid car subwoofer that i had picked up at london drugs for 30 bucks canadian and I had a sealed box laying around for that as well. I installed the 10 in the new box, I then removed the 8 inch from the jensen box took the wires off of the sub and then added more wire onto the lead to reach the 10 inch box and plugged it in bass had been doubled and then some. That still was not enough. I proceeded to go out and buy a 12inch bandpass car subwoofer box($100cdn)and then a Clarion SRW1243 12" SINGLE VOICE COIL SUBWOOFER($89cdn) WOW I can not beleive the sound from this!!!!!!!!!!!!! It performs the equivelent of any 800 to 1000 dollar powered woofer.

Summary: Good sub for 50 bucks!
Review: Yes, this sub does not have the best features or engineering when compared to JBL or Bose (for those of us in the mid-market range), however, for 50 bucks I couldn't be more happier. The 8 inch cone distorts at higher gain (when the dial in the back of the sub is set to "max"), so the frequency response when the volume is jacked up isn't great.

However, if the dial is kept in the middle, and when paired up with decent front speakers, this sub can really drill the LFE's. I almost crapped in my pants when i played Armageddon on DVD. I use a Yamaha receiver with Sony DVD player. I didn't feel like spending 200 bucks on an 8 inch driver, so i took a chance and I'm perfectly happy with the Jensen JS800. I know i can't overwork it or i'll blow the cone, but in an average size room paired with good speakers, this things is worth every penny. i purchased it form J&R for 50 bucks, free shipping and used Monster's 16 foot subwoofer cable to hook it up.

The black cabinet looks good, it doesn't take up a lot of space, and its amplified at 100 watts RMS. it was a great deal.
