Summary: Bottom line? Great thump for the buck
Review: I recently purchased this sub from Amazon- it had a great price, and the order was processed, shipped, and delivered in less than a week (impressive, particularly considering how long it took a different local buisiness to deliver a new sofa).
This sub is large in size, but has a nice look to it. It blends in fine with my other speakers and electronics.
This sub has deep, rich low end, but is a bit boomy on the high end. I have not placed filler in it yet, as suggested by many other reviewers, but plan on doing that soon.
I've viewed and listened to many other subs around- particularly the popular JBL line found at your local electronic warehouse- this sub is better than the JBL's, and much less expensive.
It makes a great complement for my theater system, and makes movies that you can feel, as your floor, couch, walls, and chest vibrate (I'll probably get evicted from my apartment for having it, but that's the price you pay...).
Bottom line? Great thump for the buck.

Summary: not bad...
Review: i stared looking for a sub about six months ago. I was on a really small budget and the most i was willing to spend was a pathetic 200 dollars. The expectations that i had for a sub and the price range made my selection very, very limited. i stared looking at the KLH ASW10-120 Powered Subwoofer. Even though this would have had blown away my 30 watt sub that i stole from my Dell (sweet computer), i knew that it wouldn't of had satisfied my bass craving. Then i stared looking at the KLH ASW15-200 15" 200W sub. This sub has the same woofer size and wattage as the A.S. SW Fifteen but there is a difference. The KLH has only 80db of sensitivity while the SW Fifteen has about 91db. This means that the SW Fifteen is more efficient with using its power so it can get louder even if they both share the same # of watts. i set my eyes on the AudioSource SW Fifteen and waited about a month to purchase it and caught it at 149 bucks for a Friday sale. Now, dare i say that i did look at other places on the net to buy this sub? Yes i did but Amazon.com is probably the best place to buy it. i even saw one wacko place have it for over 400 bucks + shipping. i received it 6 days after i bought it (not bad for free shipping which i saved about 36 bucks on! Thanks Amazon.com!) i read reviews on how big this thing is and all i have to say is... they're right! This thing is pretty big. Now, it's not half the size of your refrigerator but, it does take a fare amount of space. Another aspect is that this thing is heavy! 63 pounds heavy! i had a really hard time tugging this thing up the stairs. When i opened the package up, it took me no more then 40 seconds to pug it in and plug in the RCA cable. I popped in one of my dance CD's and stared wondering just how much i had been missing! My impressing of bass has changed forever. This thing can literally shake the house. I had to put a shirt in the door when i closed it or else my door would be louder then my other speakers. i don't think i could bear the bass if this thing could get any louder... well maybe not but this thing can get loud! This thing not only blows away the 30 watt sub, it killed and buried it! I was also playing one of those games where about 5 cars duke it out for no real reason. The explosions were breath taking. Even though the graphics were [bad], it sure sounded like i was right there. Summary: this thing kicks and it kicks hard, adding a lot of life to your music, movies and games! Recommended: Heck yea!

Review: I think this sub has more than enough power. It rattles the china in the cabinet. I like the demo/test CD that came with the sub too. After shopping around and listening to many competitors models, this is putting out better sound than many ... models. My advise, if you want to spend ...0 on a sub, do not go for the 8" or 10" models. . . go for this 15" one!

Summary: Not for high power applications.
Review: I took the chance and bought this sub because of the good price. Well I think you get what you pay for. I hooked it up to 120 watt Kenwood receiver and was not very happy with the sound but it wasn't terrible. I just expected more. My real unhapiness comes with the fact that every time I turned the stereo up past 40% The sub would get extremly hot and blow it's internal fuse. After about 4 fuses It blew for good. It sat in the box while I remodeled for about 35 days before I even used it.... Dealing with the audiosource factory people for a return was not a pleasant experience either. It cost me... dollars to return it to them for repairs and I have yet to hear from them since I sent it back a week ago. I geuss this would be a nice unit for a smaller stereo system, But It won't add much to a higher end system. Update. 6months later,returned twice to factory with unsatisfactory results. Finally they sent me a different older beat up one to replace my new one I bought. and it sounds terrible besides. I will never buy audiosource again.

Review: I was extremely excited to recieve my sub. I could'nt believe what I was getting for what I was paying. Much to my delight my subwoofer came 2 days after I had ordered it (not bad for free shipping) Any ways I was in ectasy while attaching the sub to my Pioneer Elite's sub-woofer pre-out makeing sure all of my monster sub cables were in their rightful plugs. Upon connection of the sub's power cord i flicked the subs power switch. First the on positions LED glowed red instead of green and then the amp startd to heat up consideraly this all climaxed with a violent BOOOOOOMMM from the massive 15" inch driver which violently blew the rooms dedicated breaker. I was lefty in the dark clueless, What happened to my beutiful sub. It is in route to amazon as I type this. Hopefully the replacement will be much better than the runt sub i first recieved

Summary: One really great sub
Review: I was on the email list awaiting amazon to stock this item. I grew impatient since i have been on this list since the beginning of 2002. I ordered from an online competitor since i did not know of any retail stores in Atlanta that would carry this model of sub. I paid almost 50 dollars more per sub (I bought two). I still think that they were worth the price. I just wish i could have gotten them for Amazon's price. I have a huge stereo with 3 reciever/amplifiers daisy chained together to supply 5 pairs of loudspeakers and one passive sub. One sub just wouldn't do, no matter what it's size. Boy was i wrong. One SW-15 could have done the job quite well. But i have two of them and the house shakes from foundation to roof. I have to check and see if my neighbors are home or not to see if i can turn these subs up or not. I want to address a couple of issues from other reviewers. No banana clip connectors, wah wah wah, if you have them on your speaker cables, just clip and strip to get bare wire, problem solved. The speakers plunge deep and unrestrained. The lowest of lows is as forceful as those in the upper register of sub frequencies. Yes, these speakers did sound "tubby", but since i had two of them, i put one on left channel, and one on right channel which eliminated a lot of the tubbiness from playing both right/left channels through one speaker. I am also planning to add more polyfill to these cabinets (which another reviewer suggested) which should provide more definition. Finally let me address the issue of price, the reason it is much cheaper is because Audio Source isn't as prevailant in the market as Pioneer, Sony, Cerwin Vega, etc. But that's just it, you aren't paying for the name. You are paying for the product only. Which is what makes this one of the best subs on the market. I am completely happy with my subs and turn them up every chance i get. If you are planning on buying one of these, go right ahead, you won't be upset. If amazon is stocking them, buy it right away, they sell out fast. If you should be like me and decide to buy them elsewhere for a bit more, you still wouldn't be wasting your money.

Summary: great sound
Review: I was really impressed with this speaker. it made a world of difference to the overall sound of my system. The service from audiosource was also very good, and with a five year warrenty you can't beat it.

Summary: SW Fifteen is Great
Review: I was shopping for a powered sub for a while and finally chose the sw 15. I couldn't be happier with the performance. For those of you operating a surround sound system without a powered sub (like I was) you have to purchase a powered sub and for the price you can't beat this unit. Be prepared though, this speaker is BIG.
