Where I Purchased - About 20 miles from home, someone’s garage.

Price Paid ~ $180 (~ since it came with other speakers)

Condition - 85% (not included in the Average Guy Hi-Fi score)

This subwoofer is in good shape but there are some marks on the cabinet.

Quality - 7.5

This is a very nice subwoofer, especially considering the cost. My main gripe is the tech vinyl material they used to wrap the cabinet. It looks nice but it’s easily scratched. Another minor complaint would be a power cord that doesn’t attach.

Other than that, the woofer is very high quality along with the amp, cabinet and the grill, where quality is most important.

Bass - 8.0

Nice deep and punchy bass. It hits the lows with clean authority and maintains its composure, all while using a 200 watt RMS amplifier and costing less than $350.

With all that said, I did find it a little on the bloated side, when compared to some of the much higher end subs that I’ve been reviewing. This is expected as you could buy 4 - 5 of these subs for the MSRP of some of the other subs I’ve been testing.

MSRP Rating - 8.5

I had to double check as I though for fire the MSRP would have been more than $349. This an outstanding price,especially considering the performance!

Aesthetics - 8.0

Again, I like the looks of the tech vinyl and obviously the copper woofer but I know this is super subjective.

Price Paid Value - 6.5

This is definitely a great value but I usually like to pay 50% or less of the MSRP, when it comes to used home audio gear. That’s generally speaking of course, as some brands command higher prices.

This was a good deal but I’ve had much better deals, especially since it can be had new for ~ $229.
