Aiwa 50 watt powered subwoofer for $29.97@Sears

Don't forget to save an extra $5 by picking up a $5 off coupon from the coupon dispenser in the pick-up area. (ymmv, but nobody knows that the the automated service kiosk will print a $5 coupon from if your pickup is more that 15 minutes delayed)

hope there are still some left at my local store

EDIT: My local store, after calling, doesn't sell just subwoofers alone, only in the HT packages

These are in the computers department, not TVs or Stereos. Check there.

I dropped by the richardson square mall sears yesterday, they had 2 left. I don't have a 5.1, so I didn;t pick up any. Pretty good subwoofer for $30. Looks and soudns alot better than the cheapo ones that comes along with other 5.1 systems.

Stopped by Sears stores in Hunt Valley, MD and Bel Air, MD. Neither store had them.

I ordered off the website Tuesday night and picked up at the Sears next to my office last night (Pasadena, CA). 5 min wait for pickup wasn't bad at all.

After bringing the thing home, I discovered it has only a mono input. My older Sony receiver has only stereo outputs, no center or sub output. (It predates Home Theater!) I guess I'll have to rig a mixer to get mono from one of the unused stereo tape monitor preamp outputs. The sub specs say 450mV sensitivity into a 47Kohm input. If the pre-outs can't provide enough voltage, I can mix the outputs from the headphone jack, maybe.

Anyone in a similar situation? Any suggestions?

I watched Black Hawk Down today and really was impressed with this sub.If you can get one I don't think you'll be disappointed.

where is it on the website?

got mine today (actually yesterday) for $33 taxed. They had 3 in stock so I figured might as well get one. Got home and plugged it in and? Impressed! Some kick @ss bass and I can't agree more. I think $30 is a must buy

Bought this one and was not impressed with it. Hence returning it today. Did you guys looked at the Freq response? 40Hz to 200Hz. I wish it were 25Hz at the lower end. I am happy with my Bose sub(un amplified).

 

[Typiko512]

hmm.. I don't know much about speakers and the frequency stuff. How does the Hz or the db thingy work? Lower the better or higher? Mind to explain a little so next time I can pick out a better speaker/woofer etc.? Thanks

If I had Bose speakers, I would pass this up too, but I don't and this sub is great. (for $30)

Thanks Hawk for the tip! The guys at your Sears were very helpful, and they gave me a great deal on shipping the last 2 subwoofers straight to my home! Give Eric and Brian a hug for me next time you're in there.

It's been taken off the website -- no longer listed. Perhaps the central warehouse supply has been depleted.

I'd offer you an extra, but I don't have one. I'd say your best bet is to call around to other Sears and see if they will ship one to you. It's a bit of a shot in the dark, unless someone can recommend a store that definitely still has some. This is the route I took, and it worked for me! Good luck.

I'm not an expert, but I can tell you what I do know. The Hz refers to the frequency reproduced by the speaker... so for a subwoofer, a lower range is better. Below a certain point (maybe around 50 Hz) the signal becomes inaudible, and is only felt -- the rumbling sensation. The decibals is basically volume... a better speaker tends to be able to put out more sound. Of course, sound amount doesn't equal sound quality, but the more you pay, the more of each you are likely to get. I hope this helps. You might find more useful information at audioreview.com.

Deaf--glad you got the speakers. Those guys at Sears in Lawrence are the BEST. Always give me excellent deals and no hassles.I don't work there and I'm not related to anyone who works there butI highly recommend contacting them before you make any big purchases--they are also good on pricematches.

It must have been de-listed fron their website. I can't find it.
