JBL Northridge E150P 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer with 150-Watt Digital Amplifier, Single (Black Ash) Review

I originally purchased the Yamaha YST-SW215 8" Powered Subwoofer. I was underwhelmed by the performance and the cheap construction. However, at $99, I got what I paid for.
I returned it and began looking for other options. I looked at the JBL and at first dismissed purchasing it because it was out of my price range ($200 and under).
I went to BestBuy to see/hear it ($299). Hearing any audio equipment at a store will not compare to your home environment, so saying that it sounded good at the store may not yield the same results at home. I mainly wanted to see the build and quality of the materials. I was very impressed-especially knowing I was going to purchase elsewhere for a better price. It is well worth the $299.
When visiting the Amazon site, I clicked the new and used offers, I found several under $180. Usually, this raises a red flag- gray market products etc. Also, many underprice and regain profit when adding shipping.
I purchased this from Bestpriceaudiovideo.com for $169 with free shipping and no tax. I was not disappointed. The order was processed when they said it would be and came well-packed. This was no after market sub.
I would be surprised if you can find a better sub for the price. It can rattle the walls if you want or can simply add fuller sound to music if that's what you like. and for only $60 or so more than the Yamaha, it was well worth it.

DQL-8 - AudioControl 8 Channel Line Output Converter with Auxiliary Input/Digital Signal Processing Review

This processor fixed my poor performing Bose stock sound system. It took a few months of tweaking and some analysis with a RTA, but it is an unbelievable difference in SQ. When I first installed it, I was disappointed with the sound, then as I started making adjustments, I was overwhelmed with the number of settings. But in the end, it is well worth it. The result is a clean, dynamic sound, while keeping your OEM head unit.
It converts the amplified signal from the stock amp, then it allows you to flatten and shape the sound. In my opinion, this is a better option compared to the JL Audio Clean Sweep and Audio Control DQXS combination. I am also glad I opted for the equalization feature of this unit, vs. the LC8i which has no equalization. After analyzing the pre-EQ signal coming out of the Bose stock amp, the frequency pattern is a mess. The EQ allows you to fix the output from your stock amp, then to further adjust it to your taste.
The DDC is a must (wired remote), I have my DDC mounted in my sunglass case, which allows me to make changes to the EQ or choose from 1 of the 4 preset memory settings. The processor also allows you to sum the audio signals (if your fronts are bi-amped) and also has a crossover.
I have the following setup:
Infiniti/Bose 8 channel stock amp
AudioControl DQL-8 with DDC
Kenwood XR-5S
Polk Audio MM6501 (6 1/2" fronts)
Boston Acoustics SR65 (6 1/2" rears)
Polk Audio MM1040(10" sub)

JBL MS-8 MS Series Digital Processor Review

JBL MS-8 MS Series Digital Processor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
HU: Pioneer 880prs and went active (forget about rear speakers!)
Tweeters: TB 2.5" Ceramic Dome
Mids: TB 3" Bamboo Cone
Lows: ID OEM 6.5" Carbon Fiber Weave Cone
The system in my Element has slowly transformed from a 'simple' system to an MS-8-centric beast, THIS is it!
1.0: It started off with a simple 6.5" ID OEM low and a 1" aluminum dome Tang Band tweeter in the doors (fully sealed and matted doors are crucial!!).
2.0: Then we shifted to a 2.5" ceramic dome Tang Band tweeter in the stock Element tweeter position, was better but definitely NOT the best.
3.0: Then we shifted to a three-way setup with the same lows and tweeters but threw in a set of mids; the tweeters and mids are now sitting in A-pillar mounted pods. Since my head-unit doesn't support active for three-way setups, we had to 'trick' the HU into thinking the tweeters and mids were the same speaker. It sounded amazing but wasn't quite there. Pioneer's latest top-end HU DOES support three-way setups.
4.0: Added the MS-8 and fiddled with calibration about six or seven times; the system simply blows EVERYONE away... This is not an understatement. The imaging is amazing, I'm noticing details in my music that I've never noticed before (mostly with older songs that I've listened to over and over and over again in the past). Imperfections in MP3's are much more apparent and annoying, I'm slowly replacing my collection with high-quality versions (320kbps if possible, may have to move onto loss-less down the road). I'm sure the MS-8 does wonders in a stock system but it also does wonders in a highly modified / custom system like mine.
I'm not sure how audio stores market the product but I hope they do it justice by having an installed system to demo the magical box to potential customers.
