Used it for live performance over the last three years. Did the job and gave me rich low end which really enriched our sound.

Different connection options would have been helpfull. All in all , well build and durable.

I was quite happy with it . For the money I thought it provided great value

Excellent for the price

Yes well worth it

You guys are the best . I've never been disappointed by your service!

The sound is ok. Doesn't have the punch I thought it would. Low efficiency speaker. I don't think it's made for live music but would do the job for a DJ.

It has a built in crossover and volume controls, clip light, and high pass outputs. Could of had different types of inputs other than just XLR's.

The box is made well, but could use a better amp and speaker. The amp says it's 500 watts which doesn't seem accurate. But this could be because of the low efficiency speaker. The amp also overheated on me during a jam. It was VERY HOT! I thought it was going to blow up. Needs a cooling fan.

This is alot cheaper than any other powered sub in it's price range.

I'll give the support a dead center 5 because I never dealt with them.

I sold this sub, so I guess that means I don't want it.

Home theatre use is one of best places for this value added sub. I have it tucked away behind the couch and it really compliments the other 2 main high efficiency JBL pro speakers and a PAS coaxial center channel monitor. Build this into your next pro home job and it won't disappoint. The amp is silent with out a fan and no hum to speak of. Plenty of chest pounding 30HZ waves(and below)due in part to the butyl rubber suround on the long throw 15" driver.

Didn't need the castors so I left them off.The rubber feet leave black marks on the carpet if you drag it around. Amp is of a "Carver" sonically clean design and turns on automatically with any signal and off automatically with the lack of input signal, after a delay of about 5 minutes. Great feature for home theatre but can be a noticable low thump if you have the signal too low for too long.

Plug and play ease. Minor adjustments to gain and crossover pots needed at first set up. The home theatre amps have adjustments for all of the other sub line out parameters.

Cabinet is pro grade period. The 15" speaker is a British designed Celesteon unit with cast frame and long lasting Butyl rubber surround. Even at rage party levels it has never over heated.

Have to give it a 10 here due to the low price vs. sonic accuracy times SPL output times plug and play ease.

About one year in now and the unit is on 24/7 with no need for support.

Yea , sure I want another one but I don't need it in the home arena. Two would make any mid size hall thump. Put this under your desk at work and connect it to your PC and get fired. This unit would be well suited to pro installs such as board rooms and small clubs and houses of worship. I do use it for mobile dj parties on ocassion.

the sound is quite good, for the price

has every feature I could ever need

The stereo/mono switch keeps going out, causing the speaker to fail. been repaired twice in 6 months.

All repair shops in my area have stopped doing Samson service. For warrantee work my options were to ship to NY ($80) at my cost or pay an independent tech ($75). I chose the latter for time reasons. I have never been able to get though to their customer service via phone, leaving countless messages.

Sounds good at lower levels with the controls set right. The high pass crossover makes the Mackie SW450's sound bad and taints the entire setup. These subs need to be run in tandum to get any exceptional benifit from using them.

The variable crossover frequency is nice when the sub is the last in the chain. The LED on the back is helpful to kep it from clipping.

Having to place it last in the signal chain is a pain. The wheels and adjustable frequency can be confusing for those who have no knowladge of such a thing.

I have been running a pair of these subs for 2 years. I have had the same problem with both of them. The 4 ohm speaker in them has a maximum of rating the same as the amplifier that is in them. WARNING!! Do not turn this unit on with signal going to it. It will destroy the speaker.

With aforementioned stated problems. It's been more trouble than it was worth. If you want or need a powered sub get the Mackie or the QSC powered subs.

Had to replace the amp in one and they sent me the amp after I paid for it but refunded the cost when I sent the defective one back. The speakers failed in warranty and Samson would not replace them.

It wil do in a pinch but definately not suitable for main line production or use. it would compliment a home stereo or home theater well or use in a small venue or room.

This sub has a very good sound and this is my second time grading it. With the settings set properly, this sub has big bass.

The sub having wheels is a great feature. Wheels and low wt. was a big selling point for me.

It $500 this sub has been a great buy so far.
