EARTHQUAKE Sound Sleekwave CP-8 Home Cinema Subwoofer, Ideal As Under the Sofa Subwoofer or Hidden Subwoofer for Home Cinema - Black

I used to use a Scandyna Bass Station, but having moved to a smaller apartment a while ago I found it a little over bearing. Of course I could have tuned it down but it took up lots of space. I wanted something smaller that could (if I really wanted) provide equally as much bass or more. I wasn't disappointed.I initially tried this by plugging my phone into it and playing some Bass Mechanic test tracks. It seemed over blown and the port noise was horrible. However, since connecting it up to my surround system and tuning it properly it has no such issues, so I suggest spending some serious time tuning this thing. It does take a while, but now provides exactly what I was looking for. The same (well, less) bass than I had before but it a much smaller and easier to hide package. It's very impressive how much bass this thing puts out, and I say that as an ex test pilot for Cerwin Vega in the 1990s (I used to run three 18" stroker subwoofers).Obviously as I get older I don't want my music to be boomy or shake my head. However, this thing does indeed provide more bass than I would know what to do with at my age.

I chose CP8 mainly for it's slim figure so I can place it next to the sofa on it's side (a big square sub is out of the question in our sh***y tipicaly British living room). Now don't let the slim part fool you about this sub, it is a really heavy hitter, it can literally make the paintings on the wall shake! It is connected to the receiver via RCA cable on the white input (the red one gave a boomy sound), half volume, crossed at 100 Hz, -3 Db in receiver settings.I've tested it, it really goes down to 20 hz (and below, only you can't hear it).The movies are brought to life by 5 speakers and this sub.Some music can be too boomy, maybe playing with the equalizer would help
