Very high-quality, but not very compact. I can't fit it in my jeep Cherokee unless I put the seats down in the back.

Exceptionally well built, sturdy but folds nicely into a nice compact size.  Very high quality product. Also amazed by customer service by owners who sent another stand when I found a couple of rubber feet on stand missing!!!! Complementary!!!!!! I still can't get over the quality and customer service will most definitely buy from them again and again!

Running this in the rear deck of my 300c along with other goodies.  Amazing sound quality!

This blends seamlessly into my system and takes over everything below 120Hz without flinching.  It's extremely tight and can handle classic, country, rap, trance etc all day long.

This sub honestly has no downfall!!

I bought ONE, figuring at worst I could use it for a stage monitor for my bigger rig.
My intent was to use this as a 'top' for an EV 12" powered sub, with an eight channel mixer . . . and it SHINES for that reason alone!
Small rooms (10+ people) up to medium sized rooms (50 + or - people), the music is pretty even throughout without being 'too much' at the first few tables.
The sub allows me to not push too hard for lows and between the mixer and this speaker controls I can adjust for most any room.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE 1/4" AND XLR INPUTS AT THE SAME TIME! Upon reading the complete manual you'll find you will/can damage this unit by doing so, and the resulting damage is not covered under warranty.

As for the NO-HANDLE-ISSUE, I search for padded bags and they were$189! Thinking outside the box, I was flipping through a harbor-freight and found a blue padded (bottom only) tool bag on sale for $9.99 and bought two of them. . . because I plan to buy a second B208D very soon. This bag has two handles, AND a shoulder strap.

I bought one 10" Kicker CVR and put it in a custom ported box (1.25 cubic ft.) along with a cheap Jensen 1050 amp and it freaking pounds!!! It blows my friends 12" P2 Rockford Forsgate away. Highly recommend buying 2 of these bad boys. Me and my friends loved it so much, that I decided to purchase 2 12" Kicker CVR's in a ported enclosure with a Hifonics 1000.1 amp (4 gauge wires) for some extra noise. Cant wait for them to show up. PS: Had to Dynomat the car b/c it vibrates everything, hope my mirror doesn't fall off with the new ones.

This review for this sub will be based on my comparison of 'value for your dollar' to the BIC Acoustech PL200 which I purchased from an Amazon retailer this year.

First of all I did not purchase this sub from Amazon or any of its retailers. I was able to purchase this sub locally from a private seller, new in box, for about the same price listed.

This sub (like the BIC PL200) is a front firing sub except with a 15" driver instead of a 12. Amplification is also the same as the PL200 (250 rms 1000 watt peak) The construction seems solid and overall appearance seems very similar to the PL200 (even down to the grill cover) The major difference with this sub is driver,  weight, and cabinet size. The overall design and appearance of this sub is similar to the PL200. This sub is double the weight of the PL200 weighing in at 87lbs!

The weight of this sub does not come with much surprise as the cabinet size and driver are much larger than the PL200. Below are comparisons in dimensions of the PL200 vs the PA-150. Definately not an apples to apples comparison - close but still some differences.

BIC Acoustech PL-200
Height - 17 "
Width - 14 "
Depth - 19 "

Premier Acoustic PA-150

Height - 21.1"
Width - 17.9"
Depth - 19.2"

FYI: For sake of time, I did not measure these subs but rather pulled the specs from the manufactures website.

I decided to run these subs through the same gamete of tests as I did with the PL200. I watched quite a few movies demoing areas of the film that were noted for having a brilliant presentation of LFE (war of the worlds, transformers 3, etc). I also listend to some of my favorite high quality recordings of music.

Impressed would be the word I would use! Not only does this sub do well with movies but music as well.

I think this sub out performs the PL200 in both the higher end and lower end of response. One of the first things I noticed was this sub can get into the low 20's without hesitation. It's not grand but it's much more impressive than the PL200. The PL200 didn't really have much response (in my room) until it hit 24-26hz. The PA-150 played back at a 20hz response relatively well! Tight and clean... During movies you really did feel that 'thud' to your chest which is where the fun is!

According to test results on another website this sub is reported to have a respectable in range of 25-180hz. With proper placement of this sub you're going to squeeze out a bit more than that (room gain) than the results of the test have rendered. Place the sub wisely and it will perform to your liking!

There is one area that kind of disappoints me with this sub, and that is for the size and the driver and cabinet I was hoping I would get more out of it. However, I will say for the price I paid ($400.00) it's worth they money...

If you've looked at this sub and the PL200 you might consider saving another 100.00 and purchasing the this sub. I am still going to rate this sub the same as the PL200 but only because I feel as though there were a few areas overlooked for efficiency and signal response of this sub. I would have liked to seen a lower response from the sub given it's overall size.

That being said, you're going to be much more impressed with this sub over the PL200.  Furthermore, when I compare these subs in the category of the bang for your buck factor. The PA-150 has a 15" driver, weighs twice as much as the PL200, and has a larger cabinet. It doesn't take rocket science to know you're going to get more out of this sub than you would the PL200. I only compare the PL200 as it seems some of you may be tossed on the idea of which sub to buy.

Always do your own independent research before you buy. This is just my thoughts and opinions but I feel as the enthusiast will be much happier with this sub, over the purchase of the PL200.

Good luck on your decision!

Good design and very well built, a must have for limited space.

I am impressed with this ultra-small subwoofer.
It packs far more punch than you were ever think it could,
considering its size of just 6 to 7 inches on each side.
I purchased it for use with the bookshelf stereo system that
I also purchased here on Amazon, for which my review is here:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R21R0TNVQ9ESRD/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00ZVBMF10&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=172282&store=electronics

As you are considering this item, it is important to have
reasonable and realistic expectations for it.  This is certainly not
a full-size subwoofer.  It is not appropriate for use with full-size
stereo systems, with full-size speakers, because it would not be
fairly matched with such a set-up, nor was it designed to be.

Rather, this is a "mini-subwoofer" for use with a smaller
"bookshelf stereo system" type of set-up, such as one might use
in the bedroom, or in the office, or the garage, or wherever a
smaller and secondary stereo system is being used.  This little
 6 to 7 inch cube will not shake the ground, and it will not
provide thunderous bass that can be felt in your chest from
across the room.  If that is what you seek... buy a more
appropriately-sized (12 inch to 15 inch) subwoofer, or two.
The laws of physics (and acoustics) limit how effective a
subwoofer of this small size can theoretically be.

However, if like me, you are simply seeking to improve the
overall quality of sound on a smaller stereo system, which is
only played at low to moderate volumes in your home... then this
has got to be the best subwoofer of its size on the market.

Most smaller bookshelf stereo speakers are "2-Way", with a
small tweeter and a single larger speaker bellow the tweeter that
is burdened with handling all frequencies from ultra-low (subwoofer range),
to low (woofer range), to mid (driver range)... and that is simply asking
too much of that single speaker if you want ideal sound.

This mini-subwoofer relieves your 2-way speaker's larger speaker of
having to handle those ultra-low frequencies, so that it can better focus on
handling the low-to-mid frequencies.  This results in a sound that is
not so much "louder", as it is simply more evening distributed and
nuanced for overall higher quality.

If you have very high-quality 3-Way bookshelf speakers... (which are quite rare
for small bookshelf stereo systems), then you are not as much in need of a
mini-subwoofer, such as this one, and the improvement in sound quality may be
less noticeable.  If you have 2-Way speakers, you will better appreciate the difference
this mini-subwoofer makes a bit more.

This mini-subwoofer plugs into the "Subwoofer Out" jack on the back of your
small stereo system.  If you do not have this jack, then your stereo system is
not built to accommodate the addition of any subwoofer.

This subwoofer turns itself on automatically when it senses that the
other speakers are producing sound, and it very conveniently turns itself
off automatically, after 30 minutes of no sound coming through your speakers.

It also has a general volume control dial on the back.
It can also be set to cover the specific level of ultra-low frequencies that
you want, through the use of another dial on the back (called a "crossover"),
which controls how much of the "ultra low" spectrum you wish to send to
the subwoofer, and how much you wish to send to your other speakers.
The only way to know how to set this dial, is to play your favorite music,
and play around with the dial a bit, and see what sounds best to your ears.

Given the inherent and unavoidable limitations of a mini-subwoofer this small;
this product offers very impressive performance, adjustability, and overall
quality, in a nicely-finished gloss black case, with a LED power indicator light
at the front bottom-center which glows green when it is on, and glows red when
it is off and in ultra-low-power (one-half-watt) standby-mode.

OK....  I'm moving from a Yamaha YSP-900 which may be older technology, but sounds excellent:  Full, rich immersive sound.  With the purchase of a new 4k TV, I began the search for a soundbar with a much smaller profile.  Biggest issue with the YSP-900 is it sits 6" tall and weighs almost 25 pounds; it's a beast.  While the YSP-900 is likely more comparable to the current  YSP-1600, the smaller form factor of the 105 stood out.

Without a subwoofer, the 105 sounds thin and tinny.  One of my biggest problems is a majority of the current soundbars include a wireless subwoofer.  I need a soundbar with a dedicated subwoofer line out.  I'm connecting my soundbars to a SVS Sound SB-2000 which blows away any sub that any manufacturer would include in a soundbar package.  Without my SVS subwoofer, I would have returned this soundbar.  However, with the ability to not only set the volume independent of the soundbar, I can also set the crossover on the sub which allows me to match perfectly with the soundbar.  This gives me the ability to overcome the thin sound without making regular listening sound boomy, which I find an issue with many of the soundbar packages available today.

Essentially, if you can pair this with a subwoofer that allows you to manually set the crossover, it's worth the money.  If not, keep shopping as the soundbar itself sound too thin.  Even more thin then the Vizio soundbar I have on another panel in my house which cost $89.

WOW!!!!  Replaced a Velodyne SPL with this sub and it was the best decision I have made.  This sub performs in my home theater no question.  I was contemplating getting 2 and glad I only got 1.  My theater is 20x30 and one is more than enough.

The quality - 5 stars
The spacing - 4 stars

First and foremost, wow. SOLID WOOD ....for less than $250 ?!?! WOW! I thought maybe this was a gimmick sales tactic, but no, it truly is solid wood. That said, the quality of the product is top notch, and putting it together was VERY straight-forward.

My only grip - and reason for a 1 star redux - is that I really wish it had just another 2-4 inches of depth. For example, if you're setting up like me...I put my Denon AVR receiver in the middle (after removing the center optional panel) ....once all wires are connected, and you're trying to push this unit back in ....it doesn't get much breathing room. That said, a little wider in the center would of been GREAT too to keep hot things like a hefty receiver breathing and air circulating better/properly. 2-4 inches would have been great on width here too.

That all said, and my personal desires aside, this is the ONLY piece of furniture that I could find that has that open upper portion. I'm able to fit 2 gaming consoles and a center speaker in that zone, so kudos for that flexibility on a piece like this: overall, it really is a nice piece and I highly recommend - you're not going to find such quality at this price point elsewhere!!! I got this in non-black for $200 here on Amazon. The EXACT same piece being sold locally was priced at $599-$699. Seriously ?! Yeh...seriously.

Due to the QUALITY of the product, we're considering buying the black version for the living room (my current piece is in my gaming room). But, why the price difference guys?!!? I really have to shell out more money for the black version? C'mon !!!

I'm not an audiophile by any means but I know good sound and this has it. I tried best buy and other big box stores and nothing they had sounded this good. even the $1000 - $1500 subwoofers. mainly because they were 8" and 10" and this is a 12"  (it's like a car engine , there just isn't any replacement for displacement )if you are thinking about getting this Trust me you will NOT be disappointed. for $200 its a steal. DO IT

But they are well worth the price, if you ask me. I have them in a box with .75 cubic feet of air space per side, on a boss 1200 watt amp, at half gain, and it slams! You won't hear me coming from a mile away but maybe from a couple cars away sure! Inside the cab of my truck it's definitely more than enough Bass! If you're on a budget, these are the subs you want to get! Put them in the right size box, don't overpower them, and I promise you will be more than happy with them!

I cannot believe how good these speakers sound. The depth and output from these are without question amazing. I've never imagined buying a shallow mount sub, but given the design of my 2011 Santa Fe and my own personal need for all the space in the back, these where literally my only option if I wanted bottom end in my car. I mounted two of these in the rear hidden compartment. Hooked them up to a Kenwood amp putting 500 watts into them. I hear bottom end that I've never heard before. The car vibrates at lower end frequencies that other subs never revealed. So why 4 stars? Because they aren't the best of the best, lets be real now. They get four stars for being the best in their class in my opinion. Dont have space, want some quality reproduction of some low end frequencies? Do not fear getting these.

Just got this at a reduced price of 199.00 direct purchase price. Just a not so obvious observation of this platform it is a mini model of my current setup. I own a Martin Logan full size electrostatic speaker home theater setup this little jewel has the same obstacles. The highs are tight and full but the bottom end just doesn't hold enough punch by pound to keep up so just like most high quality built products sold by Martin Logan ( not at all is this is a deal breaker it's just the process ) you need a subwoofer to fill that bottom end it just the physics of the build to get the best out of a bookshelf or sattilite style speaker. So saying that this gem would make a desktop or countertop application ideal. I give it 4 stars because you have to add a floor sub from a standard computer 2.1 application to make this thing really shine. It's that same reason I bought two subs for my full size electrostatic system. Trust me if you use this as a desktop w/ the floor sub you will enjoy hours of clean sound and loud if you'ld like. Just hook up that iPod if you have the adapter that gives you the direct drive feed through the bottom output or even a splitter using the headphone jack to the subwoofer then you have basically three controls to fine tune the bass to match your Trevolo output. I will update w/ a video later

I installed a pair of these(1 under each front seat) in my 2013 Subaru sti sedan. They fit, but rear seat passengers will not be able to get their toes under the seats. While you're not going to get teeth rattling low bass from these they still sound great. Amazing really for such a small package. It's a 10" sub and this thing is built like a tank, nice and heavy weight aluminum housing. It made my car rock coupled with a new Kenwood DNX893s head unit. I'm only using half the gain adjustment at this point. I would say in a car my size a pair of these could be heard good from the trunk even, but if you really want to feel it, under the seat is you best option. Trunk space in a sti is at a premium anyway. If you want to use a "Bass know" that can adjust both sub/amp combos simultaneously go with a RCA style in line between the stereo and the first amp/sub as you won't be able to "Y" the factory bass knobs and use 1 to control both.
