Acoustic Solutions Active Sub Woofer
StorminNorman
18-10-2007
Anyone used this unit on their home cinema set up?.
Argos sell it for £39.99
I have a 6 speaker set up with a Sony surround tuner amp but need an active sub woofer without spending over the odds. I mainly need it for watching movies etc but without disturbing the neighbours too much.
They seem to sell a fair few of them but need an opinion of someone who has used it before I buy.
Many Thanks for any replies.

I don't think you will have any problem with this sub disturbing the neighbours.

IMO you will need to add a bit more to your budget to get something half decent. The sub is an important part of the system, using one that is not capable of doing the job properly will ruin the whole soundfield.

Save your £40.
