Hi Jay

I was thinking the opposite.. that the sub is HUGE !! well compared to my 10" Energy it's a MONSTER, like 3 times the size.

I guess they must have made changes because I was expecting it to blow me away at full volume but in fact there was little difference between 60% and 100% volume. Currently I have the black line on the volume knob in line with the Green power light. And I have my Energy set for 50% at the front of the room.
