There are currently two ways to get this sub- either through eBay or Amazon. Both are the same sellers/importers and the same basic price- $229 + 29 shipping. You may want to contact the company directly as they may be able to waive shipping costs or give you a coupon to bring down the price a bit.

Below are my initial thoughts on receiving the sub on the 15th.
Quote:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thing weighs 56lbs according to one member on AVS, and guesstimating I'd agree- it's definitely more than a salt bag! I'll update later with some of my own pics with it in my current setup. Enjoy and feel free to post your thoughts on the sub since I'm by no means an expert.

Ok, some background on the PA-120 subwoofer. This sub, along with the Bic H-100 and VK12 are from different companies but apparently are manufactured in the same facility. It's been stated by the rep that sells these that he'd rate the PA-120 just behind the VK12 in terms of performance. With it being approximately $100 cheaper, it's definitely worth a look as a budget performer.
One thing that I typically hate is that people gush over their new purchases and find no fault in them. I want to think that I can objectively talk about this sub. With that in mind, here's a more extended review: Now, that I've had the sub for a few days, I've watched Max Payne, Gone in 60 Seconds, Live Free or Die Hard, King Kong, and clips of Transformers. I have to say that it really does a great job with bass-heavy scenes. Almost all of Max Payne is mixed with the low end in mind, and it really did bring a smile to my face. The build as you can see above is very solid. It's approximately 1" MDF along the woofer with 3/4" double-braced and glued elsewhere. The build is very strong and looks very good. The piano black is a nice little accent to an understated, but attractive subwoofer. I have had no hum whatsoever in a system that previously gave me a little bit with my old sub. There are a couple of things that I have found that I don't like about the subwoofer, however. The biggest one to me is the power cable. You can't swap it out without some major modification, and it's not very long. I can't reach my power conditioner without an extension cable (one on the way from Monoprice now). The other thing I don't like, is the grill. While it looks very attractive, there is no bracing on the center- thus a child or dog could feasibly damage the woofer if they hit it hard enough. With this in mind, though- getting a sub that I feel performs this well for $239 shipped feels like a steal to me. It's a great performer that may not be as good as the big boys, but the price to performance ratio makes this one easy for me to recommend. If you're tight on a budget or simply feel that the other subs are too high-priced, this is a great move. |

Haven't run any personally myself, but folks that got theirs in the same batch as mine over at AVS have, and it hits 23hz before falling off a cliff. So, their claim of 24hz is pretty fair.
I'll have to do it with mine just out of curiosity at some point. Then again, maybe ignorance is bliss. ![]() |

"For the money" has pretty much been my whole buying strategy. Buying Polk Monitors as they started to really drop in price, buying an older Philips that gets great reviews for what it is over at AVS, buying the 605 when the 606 was out, buying the APC HT10 as it was closing out, and now this.

![]() ![]() Seriously though, I really love this sub. I'm actually completely happy with all of my HT, which is a first in a long time. I've been constantly looking towards that next big investment, and I'm done, for the time being. |
