  Well, personally, it is the best woofer I have ever heard. It meets all needs. More than enough for a room, I would say ideal for a living room. I have combined it with two Adam T8V; the crossover at 80hz is the best that can exist in a subwoofer, it gave a lot of air to the speakers, delivering at 100% with even better lows than before. It gives you a full sound; it’s a different experience what an independent subwoofer can offer to your system. And I realized this even with two beasts that have 8-inch woofers on top. As sound, it is excellent… I have gone through 8-inch woofers up to 12-inch in hi-fi systems that are much louder and three times the budget. Such clarity from this 130W 10-inch I have never heard before; it produces a deep bass that fills the space, not the muddled sound we hear, for example, in cars, etc. It hits and you feel it in your soul. It goes very low in frequencies, although it doesn’t seem like it in the spectrum; it is very noticeable. I mainly use it for music from TIDAL in master quality. But also for movies and games. I have it connected to two sources: one to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th generation for music with XLR cables and to a 5.1 Dolby amplifier from Sony STR-D8940 at the sub's outs with RCA inputs. In movies, it kills; many times I lower it from the back when I see it getting out of hand. In games, again with the amplifier and connected via optical to the PC, it is recognized perfectly, especially in shooting games where you shoot with the gun, and it feels like you are getting hit. In rally games, whatever bass the engine sound produces, you have it right next to you, and the best part is that during gear shifts, you can even hear the gearbox clanking. As for the quality, the cone is not something special in technology, like Kevlar, etc., but it looks very high-quality and sturdy and has a lot of depth around it. As a construction, it is wooden, and the backplate is metal, and the feet are rubber. It is very heavy; I can say quite bulky for a 10-inch. Simple in appearance, beautiful, fits everywhere, especially if you have Adam speakers as they have the same design. In front, there is a little LED that shows whether it is on or off. To activate it, it needs a specific signal source. I read that this was annoying for office use, but so far, it seems just convenient to me as I can keep the volume low, for example, if someone is sleeping without the woofer activating. It turns off after a few minutes without receiving a signal. One thing I would say as a negative: it doesn’t have an ON/OFF button.
