One more question how loud with the bass on full power can i play this system with my dubstep songs......like 80 percent volume ?

I got these for Xmas & they start to crackel at around 50%. maybe it is because i am using on board sound, not sure. They are great speakers but not impressed with the bass at higher volumes.

Went along the way up on mine without issues. My ears cried mercy before the speakers.

Not at all, you can adjust the level to balance it out, Just don't have Volume turned all the way up.turn it down until a good balance on bass and the rest of the system is pretty much balanced.Unless you want the bass to drown out the rest of it of course.

No a moderate volume would work just fine. But if you want the water to really move like crazy I suggest some bass :) The volume isn't a big issue, it's mostly what you play. Lyrics will kick it off too.

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. ;)

I listen to just about everything and it sounds good. It also depends on your setup and equipment. I have a 5.1 setup with a good receiver/tuner. Most of my low bass sounds come through my sub-woofer.

Bass is tolerable at full volume, but really good at about 75% volume, if the source volume is loud enough. Not as good as higher end speakers with dedicated bass features, but still quite good. With some music, it will move the speaker around... i've had it fall off the back of my toilet when taking a shower and listening to some harder rock.

I have mine hooked up to a pair of JBL studio 190's and I can crank it all the way up with no distortion. It sounds great and yes, "real loud".

That should not be a problem as I use it at very high levels and the bass is just perfect all the time.

I dont think it matters. It depends on how powerful you wanted it to sound. I live in an apartment and the sub above is what I have and it rattles the whole complex and thats not in full blast. Its a good purchase on my end. It depends on your sound tolerance. Sometimes the bass is too loud it feels like youre having a heartattack! I kid you not!

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.

YES a thousand times yes. Pop/hip-hop/dance/dubstep all sound amazing cause of the true deep booming bass, not the fake "loud" bass you hear on other stupid headphones like beats. It's like a night club in your ears :) Highly recommend it. Sounds even better when you use apps to listen to your music like Poweramp to boost levels to your liking.

make sure everthing bass is tuned to the lowest hz setting or around 40hz usually sounds nice and whats powering them btw

Worked fine for me with bass control knob for 208. I have similar set up in an SUV and was worried 300 watts would under power subs but they sound great to me. Would 500 watts to the sub sound better? Technically perhaps they would but I am picky about sound and am happy with 300 watts which according to my research is within the preferred range of power. Plenty of power for moderate listening levels. If you are into rap and need to boom or listen at very high volume then perhaps not.

In my *OPINION* there is no such thing as "too much bass." However, for those that have to worry about neighbors there is a knob in the back of the sub woofer that will allow you to adjust the overall bass of the system.

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?

I don't know for sure, I think it's peak watts, I do know that for movies and music it is definitely loud enough and I like a lot of bass. I've never even had it halfway volume.

I returned this item! I had it in a 10 x 10 basement room/mancave and IN MY OPINION the sound wasn't good enough for the 2 of us playing a video game. The subwoofer lacks any kind of "woof". Volume between channels is almost indistinguishable and even with the system at max power I was still left wanting. Hope this helps.
