I'm not a sub expert (heck I aint an anything expert), but I sure like my Outlaw. I have the X-over set at the minimum (40) and the volume in the middle and it blends in nicely with the M80's. I do not listen to movies, just music. The room it's in is 32X26 with cathedral ceilings. I can here the sub everywhere. If I crank it up, it sounds like one of them little rice burners with the fart cans that thump by. I wouldn't discount it.

My music tastes are rock, hard rock, more rock, some country and even a little bit of that mello Irish stuff. No rap or dance.
