JBL ES250PBK High-Performance 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer
The ES250P powered subwoofer is just the ticket for bringing your home theater system to life. The ES250P performs like a pro, with technology developed by the JBL Professional division. Equipped with a tried-and-true JBL PolyPlas woofer, the ES250P delivers unsurpassed low-frequency performance. Special effects in your favorite movies are loud and clear, without unwanted distortion or boominess. A powerful amplifier delivers up to 700 watts of peak power. LFE- and line-level inputs provide maximum connection flexibility. And convenient level and crossover-frequency controls, and a phase switch let you tailor the ES250P's performance to your room's acoustics. Available in a black or cherry finish with a black grille.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Meets all of my requirements
I originally was going to order the ES150PBk 200watt sub-woofer, but it was not going to be shipped until mid April. So I went with JBL's 300watt RMS (500Watt Peak) model. I paid $353.00 with a $30.00 off (for applying for an Amazon credit card) and this brought the price down to $323.00 with "free" super saver delivery. This unit will shake your living room during explosions in action movies (check out Pearl Harbor and Live Free, Die Young) and provides a nice, tight bass in music. I only have it turned up to just passed the mid-point & that is very loud. It is well designed, attractive, and you get more than your money's worth. You can not go wrong for this price! By the way, it does come with a removable black grill that is not pictured. I researched several other sub-woofers and none came close to providing the specs that this one does at this price and from such a well-established company. Last, but not least, JBL has been making speakers since the 1930's and is at the...

good honest bass
When used in a small room, this subwoofer delivers!

Frequency response is smooth with no annoying resonances (booming). While the purist might want a slightly lower -3dB frequency, it is better than most of the other speakers in this price range (and getting an extra third octave or so is pretty expensive, and in my opinion barely noticable).

You will want to spend some time getting the level just right. I have a receiver which automatically does this, so it was very simple. If you don't you will want to try a variety of program material to tweak it.

I can't evaluate how this speaker holds up when driven at it's rated maximum power. I would blow the windows (and my ears) out if I tried it in my room.

Overall, a beautiful product. Well designed and built and worth the money.
Great Sub at a budget price
Was looking for a sub for my stereo receiver and ended up with this one. Using this for music only. Like other JBL products, the build quality is excellent. Auto on/off feature saves power. Has LFE input only, no speaker level inputs. I am not sure I like the design...as you can see, its kinda cone shaped. I am having some difficulty to digest that. I have placed it in one corner and had to put a faux flower vase on top of it so that it doesn't remind me of its cone shape all the time :) I still bought it because it is very difficult to come across a front firing closed body (i.e., non-ported) sub with such high power rating as this (400W ~ 700W). Shop around and you wont find very many subs within this range. Besides, high-current front firing subs are quite rare these days. JBL has another newer sub like this (L8400P) but it costs $600 ~$1000. Polk Audio has one 12 inch sub but with much lower power rating (460W peak). The more expensive Velodynes Energy etc. all are down firing...
