This was advertised as non-working by one of those electronics fast-through-put shops because it was missing its spikes, but it worked, so I added spikes and got a bargain. Subwoofers are notoriously overpriced for their content and quality, and if you can't build one from scratch I'd suggest buying one like this and replacing the drive unit if necessary. It wasn't in this case. This Mordaunt Short model is good because it has its own amplifier (that's called "active"), which takes some of the considerable burden off the general amplifier (it takes more clout to drive lower frequencies). And it has enough volume for low notes. In loudspeakers, big, heavy and obtrusive is usually good - sorry, ladies!
I bought this unit for my son to augment the bass response of his Tannoy bookshelf speakers, and it does the job well. Most small subwoofers sold today aren't sub, and don't woof much, they just add an annoying honk that impresses the owners of horrid small squeaky speakers. This model can honk with the best of them, but with a lot of care setting it up and lowering the crossover frequency, a good smooth valuable addition to the low frequency response of a system can be achieved. So take care setting it up and go for subtle presence rather than trying to make it an obvious source of sound and you will enjoy music and movies with this little subwoofer.
This speaker paired with my bookshelf mission speakers has made such a big difference giving a much fuller sound. I enjoy big band music and now feels like the band is in the room with you. Exceeded all my expectations.

Such a deep rewarding sound from a small box puts a smile on my face when watching action movies. Ok for music too, involving the listener to a greater level.
