I bought this subwoofer along with Energy TC 5 pack about 4 months ago, first 3-3 1/2 month i did not really use it because i did not have a receiver, i bought a brand new Onkyo-607 couple weeks ago. After all the break in and tweaking (crossover, phase etc) the sub works OK for mid to high sub frequencies but for low freq it makes a wierd noise like kur kur kur. for example during first 10 min of Terminator 2 and for songs like Baby boy - Beyonce, Slave for you -Britney spears etc. The noise level is so bad that you would not be able to bare it for more than 10 min, i watched entire T2 movie just to see if it was specific to a scene, during the movie it made the noise over 25 times.
I called Energy who said warantee is handled by the seller and has nothing to do with them. and the seller will make you ship it to their service center which usually costs $40-$60. I had to spend 2 hours on phone to convince them its' a bad sub to start with and is unusable. they sent me a return lable and i shipped the sub. i am not sure if they will repair the same or send me another one.
Yes, i am guilty of not doing enough research about subwoofer and just went by specifications and brand name. There are so many better subwoofers in the market e.g. Dayton, Polk, TSC that cost much less than this crappy one... TSC (the speaker company) is so confident about their speakers that they offer 30 day satisfaction garantee and they will pay for shipping both ways if you return the speakers. Same if you buy a sub from Best buy.
Do youself a favor and buy from a company where you can return with no cost to you and repairs won't cost you an arm and a leg.
I see a lot of deals with Energy speakers selling for a fraction of their price, do you wonder why? i suspect Energy may be going out of business.
Happy Holidays! Get more detail about Energy S-10.3 800-Watt 10-Inch Subwoofer (Black).
