Product Description
Powered subwoofers have become integral to any complete audio/visual system, particularly home theater. Normal speakers leave the very lowest frequencies unheard. Powered subwoofers fill in those blanks. For years, AudioSource has been the leader in providing quality powered subs at affordable prices. All include level controls and both speaker and line inputs and outputs. This model features a variable crossover from 40 Hz to 180 Hz, auto-on circuitry, and a phase reverse switch.
Amazon.com Product Description
Just the thing for your burgeoning home theater or back-room listening system, AudioSource's affordable PSW100 subwoofer pounds out 100 rock-solid watts of low-end power, bringing high-impact slam to DVDs and greater ambient detail and instrumental heft to your favorite music.
A variable low-pass filter (LPF) lets you tailor the sub's output to your existing speakers. By setting the LPF high (toward 180 Hz) you can fill in the bass for bookshelf speakers that may have extremely limited bass output, while a lower setting (toward 40 Hz) will supplement and perceptually deepen the output from larger, floorstanding speakers that have more of their own low end to start with.
You're getting more than just the basics here: the PSW100 comes with a phase-reverse switch for placement flexibility (to help align the crests and dips of the different sound waves when the PSW100 and your main speakers are in different places) and auto-on signal sensing for power conservation.
You can hook up the PSW100 one of 2 ways. In the first case, you can feed the sub an RCA-tipped line-level signal from your preamplifier or surround receiver. Using this method, your receiver can most effectively route the LFE (low-frequency effects) channel from Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio, or SACD surround programs directly to your subwoofer.
Alternately, you can run speaker cable from your receiver to the PSW100 and then from the sub's outputs to your front left/right speakers. Use of this method results in a more seamless transition from the subwoofer to your speakers since the signal arriving at your speakers has already been filtered through the PSW100's internal crossover (the variable LPF discussed above). If you plan to listen to stereo music with your subwoofer, this might be the way to go.

Sounds good, but no auto-on signal sensing for power conservation.......2007-04-04
This subwoofer does sound good, but it does not have auto-on signal sensing - that is not mentioned on the box anywhere, and it pulls ~15W constantly when not in use.
get what you pay for.......2007-03-12
Good buy, just not what I wanted. Very nice speaker for first time owner.
not bad.......2006-07-11
not bad for a low end sub. it works fine for my room.
Great sound, good price.......2006-04-07
This puts the thunder in the picture pretty darned well. Be careful setting this up, as the speaker is pointed downward and when you pick it up you are touching the speaker if you are not careful.
This took a while to get sounding right. It was too boomy but simply adjusting the distance from the walls and changing the direction of the tuned port solved this problem. I'd buy it again.
AudioSource PSW100 10" 100-Watt Powered Subwoofer.......2005-01-19
First let me say this sub delivers excellent sound at an excellent price.
However I was disappointed to discover that whlie the product description says it is "autosensing" for power----that is not the case. There is no auto position for the power switch.
Other than that inconvience it is an excellent buy.

Amazon.com Product Description
This affordable, nondescript black box is capable of delivering an astonishingly large portion of the emotional impact of both music and movie sound. The 10-inch sub features 100 watts of clarity and stability--and you can place it just about anywhere in the room since human ears are so much less sensitive to directionality in low frequency sounds than high frequency sounds.
When used in conjunction with smaller, bookshelf-type speakers, the subwoofer extends system capability to full-range frequency response. With larger, floorstanding speakers, the sub helps shoulder the burden of reproducing low-frequency information, and its variable crossover lets you scale its output to cover only frequencies deeper than those most efficiently reproduced by your floorstanders in your room (rooms have a huge effect on audible bass response). The E-10DB offers inputs for either line- (RCA) or speaker-level (clip-type) inputs, with speaker-level outputs, too, in case you want to run speaker cables from your amplifier or surround receiver to the subwoofer, and then on to your speakers, putting the sub "inline" with 100 percent of your audio listening. Alternately, you can run a dedicated subwoofer cable from your surround receiver's subwoofer preamp output (for authentic .1 effects from 5.1- or 6.1-channel programs) or from any level-dependent analog audio output.

Great Sub for the money.......2003-10-08
I bought this sub 4 days ago and I'm so happy that I did! This thing has very very deep bass. I watch 2 Fast 2 Furious and in the first racing secne I got chills all over I felt like I was in them cars. I had the 50w sony sub that come with my home theare system. Back then I had to have the volume up high to get decent bass in music. But how with the KLH E-10DB I can have the volume low and I get alot of deep bass. Buy it, You will love it!
Bye.
Happy.......2003-01-07
I got this bad boy and had it hooked up after a quick run to Radio Shack for the correct cable, it didn't come with any. There are 2 ways to hook it up, by itself or you can have the speakers run through it which is a plus. The sound is great...Ive gotten many complaints and its only been a few hours :) I recomend, good buy for the money.

Good "bang" for the buck.......2004-01-24
Sorry for the pun. Naturally you can't rate this product as 4 stars next to a sub like Velodyne makes but overall it is a good product. Standby mode works very well, fast and without any popping. The volume is pretty decent as well. Probably can produce right around 100db peaks without overdriving the speaker with a 40Hz sine wave.
Listening to music at high volumes, one can sometimes pick up the 10% THD once the volume reaches a certain level with certain frequency ranges, HOWEVER, this is to be expected and honestly isn't a big deal at all unless you are an audiophile (which wouldn't own a cheaper sub like this one anyway) or you really like to listen to music with lots of bass at 105db (pretty loud).
The advertised frequency range is 30Hz to 180Hz, but realistically this isn't going to be a flat curve in the response. I would suggest that at 40Hz it is at 0db (which is where you want it) and at 35Hz the sub is at -3db (somewhat lower volume) and at 30Hz probably more like -5db or -8db (much lower volume than at 40Hz). This is pretty reasonable for the price of the sub though. It really takes a lot of power to move around frequencies under 40Hz with any type of volume and a 100 watt amp definitely wouldn't cut it. So if you have realistic expectations its quite a decent little sub. At this price you could afford to pick up two of them which would really flatten the reponse out a lot. I got mine when I purchased the Plat-6 system (which is on par with the sub, especially the center channel) and havent' regretted the $250 I paid out for it.
KLH E-10DS.......2003-08-02
I received the subwoofer with a broken support. I was able to repair it with some glue. The subwoofer sounds great. It is worth the $$ if you are considering one. If you purchase the KLH, you may want to use 18 gauge or higher speaker wire. The ports on the back are very small.
AWSOME!!!!!.......2003-06-21
What a difference a GOOD Sub makes, I bought a cheap Home Theatre in a box system, it was a well recognized brand, and looked good, but boy was I disappointed with the sound, anyway back to the Sub. I am slowly replacing the El-Cheap-O System that had a passive sub, (It did get the job done, barley) with better speakers. With the Passive Sub that came with the System, we were never able to adjust the bass, and it was always too Bassy, or not Bassy enough, all you could do was turn down the volume. I am happy to say that the KLH Powered Sub (The Silver also matches the Sony Silver Exactly)
allows you to turn JUST the Bass Up, or down, and man can you turn it up if you want to. I am not a big bass freak, but if you crank it all the way up in certain movies with explosions, or crashes, you can feel the bass, and if you close your eyes, you would swear whatever was going on in the movie you were part of, and right there.(I am afraid if I turn it up all the way for too long it will tear down my home, the bass response in some movies is so awesome with this sub at full volume that it is un-comfortable to be in the room, but you can always turn down the Bass. For me most of the time we have the sub volume set at about 25% of it's full potential, and it is awesome, so you can imagine what 100% is like, it shut down on me one time, Honestly, I am surprised it didn't melt down and burst into flames, but after calling Koss they told me that I either overloaded/overdrove the Sub, or it got too hot, after a few minutes it came back on, they told me to check the fuse if it still didn't come on, but the fuse was fine.) The Sub also made my satellites sound better, but I still need to replace them, I am so pleased with the KLH Sub, that I am going to purchase a center channel from them next, it is the most important part of your system, and 80-90% of what you hear, all of the speaking, comes from the center channel, the B00006ANWH KLH 525 II Platinum-II 125-Watt Deluxe Center Channel Speaker should match the sub perfectly, and it looks great too, when I get the cash, and have it hooked up, I will let you know how it is, I am sure I will not be disappointed, if my experience with the sub is any indication.
