I found a Yamaha subwoofer at a thrift store for $15 and it's sounded great for like a decade for me.

Words without action are pretty useless. Measurements are the actions of subwoofers and speakers. Thank you for the work you do for the community. You are an under appreciated asset to the AV community ❤

The Jamo does have auto stand-by, btw.<br>After 15 minutes of inactivity, it goes into stand-by.

This is really useful info for the community. Maybe not as sexy as the $2500+ models but great bang for the buck. Thanks Erin!

Purchased 2 12 Klipsch back in January for half off. They work really well in my basement theater room. Crossover and equalization is key!

infinity r12 replaced my svs sb13 and a pb2000. Neither of those subs could handle low volume. I had an R12 in the closet that I bought as a floor model for 75 bucks and it sat in the closet for years. After never finding the right settings with the SVS models and constantly fucking around with it for years, one day I said okay let's try this shitty 75 dollar sub I got and see what happens. Was blown away. It's been in the set up now for 4 years. Haven't had to fiddle with it once.

The amp on my Def Tech ProSub 1000 finally gave out after 15 years. I replaced it with a Jamo C912 and have been happy with it for the money. Thanks for the great review.

Thanks for what you do, Really enjoy your videos. I Have 2 of the Klipsch R-12SWI love them work great zero issues (they are not the ones available at Costco! But not quite the SPL's) they have built in wireless that works great and Detachable power cable. I dont use the wireless in my new HT room, mostly because of where I have them in the front corners now and because I use mogami W2497 interconnects for everything RCA and they sound great, specially for the price. They do feel a little bass boosted when using the wireless. When I was younger I kind of liked it but now I prefer it a little tighter and cleaner. Gotta them brand new for about a 170 bucks a piece shipping and all And I have been really happy with them. There are better, I own better but then again they do cost about 10 times as much.
