Good budget subwoofer from reputable manufacturer.......2007-02-23

This is a great sub for entry-level to mid-level systems, where you have some measure of control over the listening environment. Its construction quality is high, has sufficient power to provide a good listening experience in a small to moderate sized room, is tight, and is musical.

Because this is a ported design, it has a tendency to get boomy **IF** it is placed incorrectly, or tuned incorrectly, within a room. Put it in a corner where it is tuned to the resonant frequency of the floor and drywall in that corner, sure it can get pretty whoofy at that frequency. But, ANY similar sub from another manufacturer will display exactly the same traits -- it is a matter of physics, not a matter of whether this is a Hsu, SVS, or whatever. If boominess is an issue, place the sub away from the corner, or tune it appropriately with the crossover setting...

So, if you are looking for a reasonably priced sub from an outstanding manufacturer, an excellent line of speakers (the JBL Northridge series), and a speaker that delivers the goods without being pretentious, this might be a good choice to consider...

Below Average Performance, Excellent Looks.......2007-01-04

I was fairly new to HT when I bought the JBL E150P. Luckily, I had a reference point, a home theater in my living room that a full service HT installer put in. The reference point subwoofer is a Pinnacle AC Sub 100. It cost me about $400 and I have been very satisfied with it.

Anyway, I cheaped out, thinking JBL was a good name and the driver was the same size as the Pinnacle. Anyway, after comparing the JBL with the Pinnacle, I was pretty bummed out for a couple of months. I finally knew what the word "boomy" meant that everyone was using to describe certain cheap subwoofers. I tried to convince myself that it was a pretty good subwoofer. But I couldn't.

I couldn't take the cheap inferior boomy bass any longer, so 2 months later, I sold it the JBL. Since I bought it right ($159), I sold it in the original packaging on Amazon a couple of months later for $140. I considered it a very inexpensive lesson.

After a lot of research, I then decided to buy an HSU or SVS. I ended up buying a silver HSU STF-2 on Christmas sale for $319 plus shipping. Extremely pleased with the sound. Not as pleased with the look of the subwoofer, but it's passable. The sound is my main concern. The HSU is an outstanding music subwoofer, and very good movie subwoofer.

Don't buy the JBL E150P subwoofer.

Great for HT...not so good for music...It's all about the source..........2006-12-16

This sub does a good job for Home Theater in a small to medium sized room but for music it just doesn't go low enough. Would work better in a bedroom or a dorm. You'll only hear the difference if you're source is via digital coax or fiber optic cable. It does a decent job however for movies in Dolby D.
Bottom line, if you want a good sub for both music and movies in a medium to large sized room. You need at least a 12" 250 watt or better sub. I would recommend the JBL E250P instead if you really want deep bass to fill the room.

Excellent value!.......2006-05-07

I needed to replace a pair of bookshelf speakers and decided to add the JBL E150P subwoofer to the order since the price was only $179 with free shipping.

This sub has made a significant improvement to the sound of my system adding full rich bass without booming. It is well built; solid in both construction and performance. I'm glad I added it to my order!

DISMAL.......2005-05-10

This is one audio purchase that I've never stopped kicking myself for...bought it when I was just getting into audio and didn't know any better.

The e150 is just horrible, doesn't go low enough (claims to do 25Hz but realistically probably just touches 35-40Hz) without resonating and booming like crazy. It's kinda sorta OK for movies if you're in a small room and put it in a corner but for bigger rooms and music listening it's just a cryin' joke. I keep having to get up and adjust the gain knob, there's an excruciatingly narrow "sweet spot" above which you get buzzing and booming, and below which the darn thing is pretty much inaudible...and this elusive "sweet spot" changes from one type of music to another! Maddening.

What I wish I knew then that I know now: in the under three hundred dollar range you're best off going with the 10" Dayton subwoofer from partsexpress dot com, or save up for a 400-600 sub from Internet-direct subwoofer specialists Hsu and SVS.
