More Info
The SoundWare Sub is designed to look as good as it sounds. Its unique polyheadron shape enhances placement flexibility. Use it positioned tightly in a corner or flat against a wall. Additionally, it can be configured as a front-firing speaker with a striking angular profile, or as downward-firing sub without a traditional forward facing grill. The paint-ready cabinet lets you customize the appearance of the SoundWare Sub to either blend into your decor or stand out as a functional, sculptural element in your room. The SoundWare Sub is ideally suited for use in a high-quality 5.1 channel home theater or stereo music system. It’s delivers impressive performance in a relatively compact enclosure using a high-quality 8-Inch DCD (Deep Channel Design) woofer coupled with a conservatively rated 100-Watt RMS amplifier. In addition, it features BassTrac, a proprietary Boston-designed circuit that tracks the input signal to the subwoofer and prevents its amplifier from being driven into audible distortion. The benefit: the bass stays clean and strong at virtually any listening level.
- Angular cabinet design fits into corner positions for maximum bass reinforcement
- Can be configured for either forward or downward firing
- 8″ Deep Channel Design (DCD) woofer for more bass from less amplifier power
- 100-watt RMS amplifier with distortion preventing BassTrac circuitry
- Paint-ready cabinet for easy color customization

I have used this for tv watching, blurays with uncompressed audio, ps3 games, and Flac files.
It is paired with a denon avr590, 2 cerwin-vega re30s, 2 sony ssf-6000s, and a celestion f35c.
As it took longer to arrive, I was running only a 5.0 system for about a week. The difference while running this sub is absolutely amazing. I actually had trouble level matching so that dialogue could be heard clearly without the bass blowing it away, on the other hand… my music gobbled up the bass and I needed to push it to create that “in the club” feeling.
As good as this sub sounds, not too tight and no where near muddy, I cant wait to hear how its matured at about the 200 hour break in point. I simply cannot imagine what I would gain by spending many times more on other subs as this one does everything I need it to and more.
Thanks bic america, for an amazing budget sub.

I had a THX certified Cambridge 6.1 system I hooked up through my HTPC before I built my new HT system. That system had a subwoofer that was stated to be 150 watts(8″ woofer), this BIC F12 is a monumental leap ahead of it. I previously have owned HTIB set ups as well and I was looking for a notable improvement, which this sub has met and exceeded my expectations. I know there are better but at the $200.00 price mark,I feel it was a steal. I have this sub paired up with the Energy Take Classic 5.0 system ($199.00) and a Denon 790 receiver($440.00)shipped. Satisfied!

This is the second home audio sub-woofer that I’ve bought. The other one is a little Sony powered sub that came with a Sony HTIB that I purchased about 6 years ago. It served it’s purpose, but wasn’t going to do the job for the home theater I’m currently putting together. I picked up a few Energy speaker separates to make a nice 5.0 system and a friend of mine from work gave me a couple old Yamaha’s that pushed my system to 7.0. I don’t claim to be a sound pro or an audiophile in the least. I basically spent a good amount of hours for a few weeks or so researching good entry-level sub-woofers that would sound great. After looking at tons of different brands, reading a bunch of sub-woofer reviews, and going through different forums to see what the more experienced and knowledgeable people had to say, I came to the conclusion that for the price, this sub-woofer was agreeable one of the best in it’s class. I searched around and found it for a good price and it arrived within a week. It definitely has enough power for a good sized room (I used it in a room of about 20′ X 15′ with cathedral ceiling). The bass output is clean. It will shake the walls if that is what you want, and the bass output is still clean and tight. I’ve used it for about 40% music and 60% movies. It seems to do very well with both. Now I can enjoy a blu-ray movie that gives 7.1 audio output. Sounds similar to the theaters.

This is probably one of the top 3 subs that you can regularly find for $250 or less. If it’s on sale, buy it. It has more than enough power for small rooms, and enough power for medium rooms. Works great for movies, and works well for music if your front speakers can go 80hz or lower.
The downside is finding good room placement. You have to experiment a little to get rid of any “boomy-ness” from your listening area.

This subwoofer sounds fantastic! I use it at about half volume in a 20 x 30 room and it provides plenty of bass. I would not say that its the cleanest tightest bass I have ever heard. But it is not to boomy either. For the money its the best subwoofer Ive heard.

Really cool design, with typical Boston quality sound. Looks really slick in the corner of my room. It was exactly what I needed and wanted visually and technically.
