| gizmo007's Full Review: JBL PB12 Subwoofer Speaker |
To begin the price of this subwoofer is $400 which is worth every penny, but the chance to get it for $255 should be taken any day of the week. If its worth every penny of $400 dollars then its definetly a steal at $255. I myself paid $400 and I think you buyer who have this opportunity to get it so cheap should take it.
Do I even have to comment on the quality of this subwoofer, like all JBL products which are made with a quality guarantee, and this subwoofer is like all the JBL products. If you plan to invest in this expect it to last a while. Where I got this I was given the option to get a 10 year warranty and I took it, if you get the chance too you should take it but if you dont expect this one to last a while.
This sub looks very cool, it will compliment any home theater setup. Well as long as your TV and other speakers are black then you dont have to think twice about this puppy fitting in. Its a good size and for great home theater size seems to be popular, the bigger the better many people say. Like all JBL products there is the logo on the front, this sub is considered floor standing.
My setup up front in my home theater is two towers, a center and my JBL sub. My towers have 9inch woofers and untill i got the JBL sub could really pump out alot of bass on their own. The after hooking up the sub I realized why I took the risk spending the $400, the bass is amazing. It pumps throughout every movie and music is incredible. Sounds like I am downtown at a club.
The JBL PB 12 has 250 watts of amplified power. The driver is a 12 inch woofer. 250 watts with 12 inch woofer, well as you can imagine can create alot of bass. It will honestly cause people who are walking by your house while your watching a movie to stop and look around, if I wasn't so glued to my couch I would probably go outside and say hi and try to see the whole house shake. This sub can definetly fill up a very large room with rich bass.
As I said this subwoofer will compliment your home theater, and it will bring you many compliments for a perfect buy. Your friends will love you and strangers will enjoy walking past your house to hear some tunes (If their timing is right). Hooking this sub up is not too hard, just the thick cable into your reciever and plug it in. You can easily control the frequency on the knobs and dont worry there is always a full descriptive manual.
When looking to find the right sub for you you have to factor in what size fits your room, a sub too big can look out of place. That puts the JBL PB 12 off some people's lists because it does take up a great deal of space, and really if you have a small room just get a 8 inch or 10 inch beacause it should be enough bass. Still the PB 12 is a excellent machine, just make sure you know what you want and what you need, if you need a big sub this is the one to buy, remember you can test things out at your local stores before buying, and subs are returnable. I am telling you how this sub helped me out, it was the perfect sub for me, but make sure you look around for yourself.
Great buy, you will always be impressed with this sub, if you invest you wont be disapointed, and for the price you cant go wrong with the JBL PB12.
