Summary: BEST KICK FOR THE MONEY
Review: Just purchased another one after having the first only eight months..Yo will not go wrong with this sub for the money..After doing minor mods you have a sound simalar to those in the 5 to 6 hundred price range..I also have owned audio source sw12 downfire and new of there quality and sound so jumped on another one when I seen the price drop..The SW15 will perform it duties well and hold up strong in the long run...The sound is very crisp and the bass is deep where ya can feel it more than here it after you do the modification to the inside...Definately the best thump for the buck!!!!!

Summary: best bang for buck!
Review: Let me start of buy saying this subwoofer kicks ...! With that said lets start the review.. I order this item sunday night and it arrive to my door friday afternoon. This item is big, I mean really big. its about the size of a 20" tv box and heavier than a mug. I hooked it right into my pioneer htv system and at first I was kinda dissapointed in the hollowed out sound, I then proceeded to my nearest [store] to buy some much needed polyfil. after using nearly a whole bag on int he box, I was really amazed at the preformace gain, literly night and day diffrence.
In a nutshell, this item rocks with the ... back of polyfil mod. oh by the way set the crossover at 80hz and gain at half and watch blade 2, and if that doesn't sound like the movies I don't know what does!

Summary: Earth shaker
Review: Man got it a few days ago and already cracked the cealing. its big but its worth it. I hoocked it up to my stereo and you can hear it outside. Also the only thing bad about it is that the volume of it gets a little destorted at high volumes. Also the amp gets kinda hot fast. But other than that its great!

Summary: Two have blown
Review: My first one lasted less than a month. Blew it's fuse and when I replaced the fuse, it just made a loud hum. The amp was blown. I have an HK510 AVR with sub-out, so I know I didn't give it too much juice. I was skeptical to get another one, but decided to try in hopes I just got a lemon. Amazon was great and paid for shipping both ways. The second one lasted a few months and then the exact same thing. I sent an email on Sunday to thier customer support and got both an email and phone call from them on Monday. They told me they are aware of the problem and have a fix. They are having me just send the amp, so I don't have to pack up and send this beast. Good customer support so far.

Summary: AudioSource SW Fifteen
Review: My Sub came a week ago. The first thing I noticed is it already has fiberfill. It was obviously brand new. First hooked it up with cheap patch cords and a Y cable. Sounded great. Bought 25 feet of monster sub cable and a monster y cable. Now it ROCKS. You will not be disappointed. I noticed the fiberfill is blocking the ports. Will move it around if I get adventurous, but it is not necessary. I am not an audiophile. Just an average guy with an average receiver and a super powerful subwoofer!!!! Good for music, awesome for movies. Saving Private Ryan will rock you!

Summary: Akmacdon is a dope
Review: No wonder he/she has gone through two of these: they're hooking a powered subwoofer to a power amp. Obviously they don't understand signal flow or at the very least how to hook up a stereo.

Summary: Wanted a Subwoofer not a concrete mixer.
Review: OK - read the reviews and bought. LOOSE! The thing has electronic direhia. My goal was to upgrade my bedroom system's 50 watt 10 inch Pioneer by moving my Radio Shack 100 watt 10 inch into this bedroom system from the living room and moving the Pioneer to the guest bedroom system.

Once I had this monster (sizewise) positioned and hooked up the disappointment rapidly set in. It doesn't play music it just vibrates! The Radio Shack 10 inch has good tight bass response and added to the music. Overall a good little unit that more than does the job.

The AudioSource even after two hours of adjusting and repositioning basically just vibrates. The thing can shake the floor like mad, but so can a concrete mixer and so far the musical qualities are a dead heat.

Am gonna add the fiberfill many have used. But if it is not a huge upgrade in performance this puppy is going back to Amazon for a new home.

If you want to sit in your chair and get vibrated you would really enjoy this unit; but if you want to enhance your musicial experience definitely look elsewhere.

Summary: Just amazing. And I was auditioning $.... subs.
Review: Ok, I had decided to buy a new Sub for my Digital Home theatre. I was out there looking at the big boys - Velodyne, NHT, etc. etc.... and had fixed in my mind that for the punch I wanted I was going to have to spend about $.....

C'mon - I'm not a huge audiophile... I want it to sound good and I want it to make the movies more realistic. Like 90% of the buying public, a tiny bit more harmonic distortion is not going to matter with the kids playing in the background and the dishwasher running.

Then I stumbled on this thing. AudioSource? Never heard of them.

The price? No way, it must be junk. THINK AGAIN.

I am so pleased with this purchase that I give this 5/5. It is not as "tight" as some subs for things like Jazz, but for making the low-end rumbles of the action movies and sci-fi DVDs I love there's nothing I've heard that is THAT much better. My Dolby Digital System came to LIFE with this sub. EVEN MY WIFE THINKS IT'S COOL!

I added some poly-fill inside with a staple gun to correct a tiny bit of boominess, but it was strictly optional. It took 30 minutes and 30 bucks. Now I would be suprised if I could tell it from the more expensive subs.

I used a good quality sub cable from Monster (the cheaper one they sell)

Summary: Audiosource SW 15
Review: Ok, just got my sub and have been using it like crazy. I originally purchased a JBL PB 10 for considerably more than this cost. I returned it because it just didn't do the job. I read the reviews and decided to try this, and it seems to be doing the job nicely. So far I have set the crossover to 80 hz and the same on my receiver. I have played Star Wars and Jurassic Park, and my roof has just about blown off. Just what I was looking for. Also, many other reviewers were talking about putting polyfill in the cabinet. Mine just came with polyfill already inside. The bass is crisp and punchy, while still being powerful. So, apparently someone from Audiosource read these and did something about it. I have it hooked up using the LFE connection, and a Y adapter. The thing is big but who cares that's what's required for bass to be felt. I have worked on sound professionally in performance venues and can say confidentally that this sucker kicks, and to give her a try!
