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!

I hooked it up to Denon AVR3312 reciever as part of a 5.1 home theater system comprising JBL LC2 center speakers, JBL L890 fronts and JBL surround speakers. After calibrating with Audyssey, the only other sound this sub produced was dead silence. I replaced the flimsy manufacturer's cable it arrived with with Monster sub cables all to no avail. The sub had died barely 24 hr after delivery. Barely one day after delivery this sub was back on its way to Amazon. I am aware that JBL has received a lot of flak about this product so what the %$#&^% are they waiting for before they recall it or re-engineer it, or is it for someone sueing them for spinal fracture while trying to lift and repackage a 50 pound paper weight of a subwoofer?. Admittedly some reviews are...
