Hard like a fist? No. If it's near your face, leg, or even arm, you'll barely feel a spank or breeze. Although the other 5 speakers get a nice bass boost.

Bass is great I have a 100 watt 8" Polk connected to mine. I don't turn mine up that loud, remember this is not a real expensive unit . If you want perfection spend more money.

I have 1 in a standard sealed enclosure and it is AMAZING. Very clean crisp bass with plenty of power. The shop I had it installed at actually started carrying these subs to sell after hearing the power this sub had in a small enclosure with only 800w pushing. I would make the switch IF crisp bass is what your after (I listen to all kinds of music and need it to compliment rap/rock/pop/dub step). If shaking the vehicle next to you is your only goal go ported.

when i first turned mine on the sub wasnt even working , had to move the control knob for the bass level left and right, and literally push on it hard to get it to come on , have not had any problems since..

A 5"subwoofer is louder than that sub... you don't have too worry about it being loud

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.

The bass is OK but you are definitely not getting the same lows as a subwoofer will provide. For me however this is preferable, as I don't think my neighbors would enjoy resonating bass. If you don't have that problem, I would recommend a subwoofer if you really want the full bass sound.

I'm pushing two l7 12" 's at 750 ea. And it handles them with ease. Plenty of powerful bass. Hope thay helps you.

I've had mine thumping in a 7.2 System and I've put it through its paces. It rewards me with tight bass when it calls for it and a definitive rumbling if needed. For the money, its a no brainer.

yea use the control and on the sw button which is subwoofer lower all the way down to desired bass sound, I tend to keep it at a 2 or 4 max since it has a loud bass to it

Very good! I like mine a lot and it's not too out front with the bass unless you want it to be. You don't realize how much it enhances the sound until it is turned off. The unit itself is adjustable with the options/pots on the back of the box. Also being a wired subwoofer there is no "cut out" you get with the wireless sound bar units. Simply put this sub rocks.

yea its good.. not as loud as the bass in a car of course, but the size of it produces great sound and if its on a hard surface it will vibrate because of the bass.

That's hard for me to say. My sub is crossed at 100Hz due to my Polk satellites being ... satellites. It sounds good but you can hear some distortion when playing Royals at higher volumes. You're right, there's tons of bass in her music. I may try this again after I adjust the gain and see what results I get. Overall you can't beat the sub for the price, but it's not going to sound better than a $400 sub. Well, most nicer $400 subs. ;)

The bass is pretty good. Not $100 headphone quality good, but still powerful enough to satisfy.

Probably not. It's design is for open air, and the great thing about this sub is its clear bass. You would get some level of thump inside a closed space, but no quality lows.
