This is a passive subwoofer which works by getting power off your speakers. In this application the sub will come off sounding weak, even when you use their intended speakers with them. What I've found to really make this subwoofer come to life is to power them via external means and use the LFE channel off your receiver. These really don't need a ton of power to get working but I'd shoot for something with around 70-100 watts just so you have breathing room, any older stereo amplifier with analog inputs can be made to do this job really so it doesn't have to be an amplifier dedicated only to subwoofers. Once externally amplified it actually sounds kind of nice, don't expect thunderous floor shaking bass out of this or even for it to go down to 20Hz (PS: most $500 and lower subs don't) but if you want something more musical or you didn't want the floor shaking in the first place then these do that job better then I was expecting, and they're cheap by themselves also when you find them used.Read full review

This model is not the heavy bass some produce but easily hidden and adequate sound. Along with a pair of satelights it creates good balance.

I love these speakers. I get a great sound from these little speakers. I hid the sub woofer under an end table. When I turn on the music my guests are floored with the quality and the volume of the sound. I have the 3 series but I would think the 5 series would be even better. I purchased these speakers because they are passive and I have a good amplifier to drive them with. Because of the small room I use the speakers in, the cube speakers are behind my flat screen monitor. The sound is still exceptional. The sound I get out of these are equivalent to the sound I got out of my big boxy speakers that are 3 feet tall and had a 10 inch sub woofer in them. Bose does it right. Quality sound from a small package.

Great sound from a compact speaker system. Yes they are a few years old but still pack a punch.
