(More customer reviews)For my very 1st powered Subwoofer, I thought this would be the perfect answer to my needs for a powerful, mid-sized Woofer with full features & a very affordable price. WRONG!!! After researching this product online, I went ahead & ordered one from an online "Warehouse" whose name I won't mention.
Being an Audiophile, professional Musician & recording Engineer, I hooked the unit correctly to my stereo system, turned the power on & boy, what a surprise. It immediately started smoking & blew a fuse. I also noticed a very obvious crack on one side of the port on the front of the unit, as well as a dent on one corner in the back of the cabinet.
I called the company who very courteously & promptly sent me an exact replacement while picking up the defective one (the 1st one)& sending it back. Eagerly, I hooked the replacement PDSUB10A to my stereo. This one didn't smoke & stayed on without blowing a fuse, however I was extremely disappointed to find the internal powered amplifier completely blown, with distorted sound no matter where you set the gain- from Lowest to Midway. I even ran a line-level tester directly into the line-ins on the unit to isolate the problem apart from my perfectly-working Stereo system, and sure enough, the distortion was in the internal amp itself & not from my Stereo. Like the 1st unit, I also noticed the exact same type of crack on the port on the front, as well as some very obvious scratches & blemishes on the face when you put it to the light.
It was after these two horrible experiences in a row with the same model, I came to the conclusion (or the assumption) that this company deals in Blems & 2nds (in spite of their online claims to the contrary)& that is probably why they can sell these brands at the very lowest prices online. All I wanted was a decent, inexpensive powered subwoofer (that actually worked) to enhance my already excellent sounding Stereo system- is that too much to ask for ?
After getting a very frustrating degree of "Runaround" from 4 different employees (one being the "manager"), I finally was able to return this 2nd unit with a full refund credited back to my card-thank God. As a result of all this, I will never do business with this company again, and I advise the rest of you to "Steer-Clear" as well !!!
As for Pyle, I now see why they have that name, as they sure live up to it, in my opinion--- "PYLE of C_ _ P"!!! [...]Just read all the reviews (as compared to only one other equally negative review online on the Pyle other than mine here)& you'll be sold like myself. Actually, I went ahead & ordered the Dayton SUB-120 (12"/150W) for $154 as an overkill while I was at it & it is on its way to me. Hope this helps-will make a review on this new unit soon.
