More Info
The Acoustech Cinema Series H100 subwoofer fills a room with clean bass that highly enhances music or deep rumbling bass for exciting home theater sound. This subwoofer is a super value. A sleek cabinet with high gloss houses a heavy duty 12″ front firing woofer. 500 watts dynamic peak output. Performance guaranteed to knock your socks off especially at its price.Listeners who want to treat themselves to the best in home theater sound need look no further than the Acoustech H-100 front-firing subwoofer, which reproduces powerful, room-filling bass. Featuring 150 watts of continuous power output (500 watts peak) and a 12-inch, front-firing, long-throw woofer, the H-100 makes movies sound explosive and gives music a deep, full-bodied appeal–all without causing unwanted boominess or distortion. The subwoofer delivers a wide frequency response of 24 to 200 Hz, along with a max acoustic output of 115 dB SPL (sound pressure level). It performs particularly well when teamed with Acoustech’s other home theater speakers, which are customized to match the subwoofer’s output.
A further bonus stems from the sub’s striking rear-vented cabinet, which is outfitted with a high-gloss black finish (think piano surface) on the top and bottom. The finish adds extra flair to the sub’s design, as does the copper color of the woofer (revealed when you remove the grille).
The H-100 measures 15 by 17 by 18.25 inches (W x H x D) and weighs approximately 42 pounds. It’s also covered by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.

Having just purchased the H-100 after reading a few reviews on it, I am very satified with my purchase. Admittedly, it wasn’t as heavy as I thought it would be however, this is a GREAT home theatre sub for the price.
Upon receiving it from UPS, I hooked it up into my existing system (powered by a Yamaha HTR-5550 receiver) and loaded in Master & Commander. When the action scenes hit, this sub literally shakes the walls of my apartment and you actually feel the “hits” of the cannonballs in the chest. Literally. For home theatre, this sub is very tight and punchy, with the lowest bass notes (I think that it’s called “LFE”) projecting out into the room with a lot of “hit”.
For music, I think it is a little boomy, but if you using a good media player (I run a coaxial line out from my PC soundcard straight into the Yamaha receiver), you can use the equalizer in the media program to iron out some of the boom – after which, it sounds GREAT.
All in all, this is a great performing, aesthetically pleasing sub, that is great value for the dollar. IMO, it is well worth checking out @ this price point and to date, I am very happy with the purchase.

I was very hesitant to buy this speaker but I had just lost my old one and money was very tight, so I did’nt have much of a choice. I researched it at Bic’s web page and every audio page that I could come up with. I did’nt read one negitive thing about it. The only thing I could say that may turn someone away, would be that this is a sub for a normal,(small to medium) size room.
The encloser, grill and speaker all look very high quality, very nice fit and finish.
The sound that comes out is quite good, of course your placment will change the sound to your own tastes.
I have it set up to about one half volume and to the parameters of my receiver, it fills my room with full rich bass and responds beautifully to movies, I turn it down for music because I don’t really like my music with bass as the focus.

It definitely took a bit to get used to this sub compared to my old crappy one. this is my first “decent” sub. I knew I was going to have to retrain my ears a bit.
Bass is much more clean with this sub and it has a lot of power.. my friends are impressed.. however i don’t feel the base is very “tight” a quick punch to the bass feels like it trails off a bit.
overall i am glad i purchased this sub. it was worth the money.

I had purchased a Klipsch sub10 and returned it for the Acoustech H-100 and am I glad I did. Visually the H-100 is much more stylish with the high gloss finish and gold front firing sub. Sound is incredible, very robust bass without being boomy, and try as I might, I can’t seem to bottom this thing out. I much prefer the front firing speaker over the bottom firing Klipsch, which seemed to absorb much of the bass into my carpet. And oh yeah, did I mention I saved $220. I could buy two of the H-100 for about the same price as the Klipsch, but I don’t think the foundation of my house could withstand that kind of shock.

Great sub for the money. Only the hardcore audiophiles will need more.But then, they won’t be looking here anyway. You will not be dissapointed.

This JBL subwoofer is just as crisp and bassy as the wired/powered version. I did quite a bit of research on the two and found that that little extra money was worth it to me.
It was very easy to setup and was great to put up because I could put it in different places in the room to find where it suited me best. I prefer the sub in back of the room instead of the front. So not having to run those wires was worth it.
The wireless works great, I have not had a single issue with the wireless interfering with my wireless internet or wireless rear speakers.
