I have 2 of these sub's and the amp is dead in both (PB12 & 260P. The sound was great when they worked, but JBL doesn't have parts to fix them if the amp goes bad. Called JBL when the PB12 amp went out and was told no parts are available, so I bought a new one. I took the 260P to get repaired and it has a dead amp also. I will never buy a JBL sub again.

I’ve had subs larger than this that did half as much. The sound is full and enveloping. Even the high end frequencies sound more natural. I paired this sub with my very old Century L100’s. I am more than pleased.

Replacement for a ES-250P, Wanted a Studio Series Sub to go with an older Studio line of floor standing speakers, do not let the classification of "Refurbished" drive your decision to buy this sub.

purchase the Studio sub, bookshelf speakers and center channel speaker for a small size room. all the speakers except the sub are hooked up to a Denon home theater amp with pre-outs that go to the sub. I was very surprised that the sub volume was very low. I even had it staged in the corner of the room for a 3 to 6 db gain. My 25 year old Sound Dynamics sub had to be turned down to less than half volume where this one is up all the way and then boosted +12db from the pre-amp settings. Ive had good luck with JBL in the past but this sub is disappointing. the sound quality is good, but there is no way the built in Amp is even 200 watt.

I purchased this sub a week ago and I'm totally satisfied; it performs just how you would expect from a subwoofer: powerfully and deeply even at low volumes, filling the room with its presence. Probably my choice couldn't have been better!

Love this sub, it makes enough bass that it vibrates my drywall. Make sure when you buy it though, that you move it around the room to find the best position for it.

Received my Sub yesterday, wanted one of these for ages and not disappointed, it is truly awesome. Massive power hardly need volume more than around 1/3 setting. It has a base boost setting but cannot imagine why. Hearing sounds from films and music videos I have never heard before. If you want some real grunt and power to your system you cannot go wrong with this sub. My only real grip is that having only received it yesterday it has now been reduced in price by almost £50, gutted. I was about to buy the Studio bookshelf speakers to compliment this sub and replace my Control Ones but wary may be jumping too soon now if more price reductions round the corner, maybe JBL can do me deal as a measure of good will?
