    • High quality lows.
Color: Black Style: DN12
Important: this sub ships with sensitivity at -6db. Was excited to replace my old sub. Connected it and was underwhelmed- only in certain parts of the music I heard the deep lows. Come weekend- read the manual and tinkered with the settings. Set input sensitivity to 0 dB- my disappointment turned to delight. The sub begun to rock. High quality deep bass- not the boomy cheap sub sound but nice and deep. I'm glad I got the 12 inch. The 15 inch too large and the 10 inch would have to work real hard to keep up with my taste in sound. The 12 inch is quite huge and heavy. I like that it's heavy. Means it's well built and it's own weight will keep it from getting affected by vibrations. I keep display at off. Sound at deep as I only use it for music. Have it connected to my speaker out on the srereo amp ( sony ta-1es) for better sound integration. Not using line in. The remote is useful to tinker with settings. The remote build quality is surprisingly really cheap. Seems like a $2 item. Thankfully, after a couple of weeks- all the tinkering is done and then one really does not need the remote as such. All the same- dt should not have made it so low quality. Do I recommend the sub?- a really low 25hz - Yes! Ps- I bought a new power cable for the subwoofer. A monstrous thick 2nd hand PS Audio shielded power cable. Sub didn't get louder buy it certainly got cleaner and went down even lower. Upgrading the power cable added a new dimension to my sub. 6 months since I bought the sub- I'm very happy with it. ... show more

    • Deeply impressive
Color: Black Style: DN12
Bought as a replacement for 20+year old definitive sub this was an eye and ear opening revelation. Construction is high quality and this weighty subwoofer looks sleek and refined in my space. Setup was straightforward with the included remote simplifying the process allowing you to get the settings dialed in from your listening position. The quality once setup is outstanding. I am using with older definitive tech mythos speakers and with both music and home theater use the bass blends perfectly, punchy and clean in the mid bass while digging deep with movie soundtracks. Although this is a 12 inch sub it sounds larger and retains an amazing clarity even as you lean in and push the volume to house shaking levels. Extremely pleased with this purchase and recommend without hesitation! ... show more

    • Terrible customer Service.
Color: Black Style: DN12
They don't know what they are talking about and do nothing to help you. They lie to you and simply don't care to about you, but they certainly will take your money. If I could give 0 stars I would. Look at other companies for subwoofers. Their subwoofers may be unsafe and not last more than 5 years.

    • Bass sound doesn't get clearer than this.
Color: Black Style: DN12
I can say out loud that I love this sub woofer, despite the fact that it's not very movable. I love the clear bass sound coming from this monster sub. Just make sure you have the exact space and you will fall in love with it.
