How well would this perform as a home theater sub?

If you have a very large home theater then I would say great. This sub is a monster, I had a 4th of July party which turned into a block party and It never was turned up to full volume. I normally use it in my family room for Karaoke night but I have to turned the bass all the way down or it would be too much. I hope this gives you a general idea.

Im a sound tech at my church and we bought two of these for our church. I would not recommend this for a home theater setup, it would be way to big and it would overload your whole system. Unless you have a huge home theater.

It is large unless you have a large theater room I would not recommend... You can see the dimensions in the description

I think it would a great way to go. I am extrermly satified with this sub. House shaking low frequency without any muddiness in the low end.

Yes it sounds really good. The sub needs a big sealed box to sound its potential though. I have this same set up in a ported truck box doesn't sound bad just know it could sound better.

I am very happy with the sub. Don't have any experience any other quality subs so can't compare. It is quite powerful without being "boomy". I have it in a large carpeted living room. Sorry I could not relate to your question more directly - hope this little bit helps.

The description says "Optimized for use with subwoofers" I'm guessing it's not high fidelity. My sub sounds fine hooked up to it, but if I was going to hook up some regular powered speakers, I'd buy something that's advertised for that purpose.

Yes you do! But depend on what are you going to do with it. I had this original for my PC. I gotta say, they are quite nice on playing battlefield 3. All the surrounding were amazing. And it has some low base humming. However, I bought a cheap sub after I moved it to my living room and hooked to a tv for watching movie. It really depend on what kind of receiver you have. However, if you do plan to bring your friends home and have a great movie beer night, the sub is a must

I'm probably not the best person to answer the question. This is my first subwoofer. I'm happy with it, and this was after trying out three other ones beforehand. It's very compact and seems to do the job. Sounds like our rooms are about the same size.

I have a 15x40 room with vaulted ceilings. Due to room limitations and layout I ended up putting the sub behind the couch. As a bonus it shakes the couch! My wife calls it our "4D" cinema. I have the volume set to about 40% (and 0 on the receiver) and it blends nicely with my B&W CM series speakers (2 towers, big center, and 4 surrounds.) I think if you place this sub in the right spot it would really get your room shaking as much as most of the 12" subs I've heard. If you really want to test the foundation of your house get two of these. Plus for this price you might as well have 2. The box is large so make sure to measure where you want to put it. I did see some comments about having the amp go out so maybe pushing the amp to 100% might not be good. I've had mine for 6 months and watch loud movies with no issue. Good luck!

You will need a receiver/ amp setup for this to work. (Ex. i have mine hooked up to a Pioneer VSX-822-K 5.1-system and it sounds great.) Other than that, all wiring and accessories are included, or at least enough to get started. The sub has a built in amp so make sure there is an available outlet. It would be recommended that you buy higher quality wire and a way to mount the center channel and the surround speakers if they are not being placed on shelves.

That would be fine. In fact it would be a little under powered with two subs which is fine. They will take about 700 to 1000 a piece with no issues.

Using these currently in a medium sized conference room, about 16x12. Even without the sub they do fairly well (I've watched a movie or two on them). With the sub I think they would do nicely if you want a small speaker solution. However, if I really wanted the movie theater feel and I had room I'd maybe go with bigger speakers (especially if the room was any bigger).

800 is fine....add a second subwoofer if you have the room in your theatre.....

Yes. I have that combo in my condo and it sounds very good. The sub actually makes the sound bar sound better.

As long as you have a decent sub that fits an average sized room, you'll probably like these. They compliment all types of music and are great for movies in that they're not overly bright like some other value speakers. Unless you're ready to pay considerably more, Steven. I think the PL-76's are probably a good choice and similar to my HT-75's in sound. I don't think I'd ever part with my 5.1 Acoustech system, they're that good! - Enjoy...David L.

I am happy with it I still think you need a good subwoofer to go with your system... But I can tell the deeper male voices have better presence... If you could get the center for less than retail I say go for it...
