I opted to buy the non powered version of this subwoofer, many people will call me crazy but considering I already had an amplifier laying around that isn't being used for anything I decided to put it to use. I pump 1300 watts and the bass is solid. It hits punchy notes and deep bass. I run the subwoofer using a BBE sonic maximizer with a dedicated subwoofer crossover. The speaker is not too heavy, has a spayed on finish so you don't have to worry about the carpet pealing or ripping, and sounds great. I would recommend getting the covers for the speakers as I can see it getting dinged up easily. Overall i'm %100 satisfied with my purchase. I'll only be using this sub 4-6 times a year and rent it out another 8-12 times a year. I think EV should have put a 1000 watt amp inside their powered model, considering I pump another 600 watts to the same speaker i could only imagine how floppy the powered one sounds.
