I would not put $150 towards that sub. It's entry level mid-fi. If you have a decent system you've put time money and energy into, this thing is not going to cut the mustard. I would save your bucks until you can afford a decent unit, I'd say $450 would be a good starting point.

In that price range you can get a good quality used sub or a new kit from a place like Parts Express. In that kit you'd be getting a subwoofer driver and amplifier that are much better quality and have far more power.

I've never heard a cheap sub that didn't sound like a cheap sub. An 8" driver with that little power behind it won't cut it unless you listen at very low levels.

Cheers,
Presto
