Thats sorta what my opinion is. I'm no expert, but once you're able to detect which direction the bass is coming from, the woofer is too overpowering.

Also the sound system is too loud, when it's at a level that can cause hearing loss. Clarity is more important than feeling pressure waves come off your sound system & wincing because its hurting your ears. Quality over quantity sorta thing. I dont own one, but on those action scenes where you want to get into the action, a buttkicker may be better than having your sub cranked up to where it'll vibrate out your fillings.
