"Thump!!!"
Feature:
Inputs, outputs, gain control. What more do you need in a powered sub???

Quality:
The only issue I have is that the black finish scratches pretty easily. They need a more durable covering.

Value:
Good value!! If you bought separate cabs and amps (of like quality), you would end up spending more.

Desirability:
I have them!!

Sound:
Talk about THUMP. You need to move a LOT OF AIR to get a good thump going outdoors. We played outside (in the parking lot)for a rally at a motorcycle dealership this past weekend. These subs were shaking the building from 150 feet away!!!

Ease of Use:
Plug it in and play. Couldn't be easier.

Support:
They're QSC.....what else do you need to know???

Overall:
If these subs were stolen, I would definitely replace them with the same!!

"Holy *$#% this thing rocks"
Quality:
The finish scratches easily but touch-up paint fixes that.

Desirability:
I want two more. Ialready have 2.

Sound:
These things rock the house! The bass really thunders even with music that has alot of it. Two of these could easily play for a crowd of 200-400.

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play.
