for the 700AS

Terrific bass from a modestly sized unit. Very solid cabinetry. 150W amplifier that appears very "un-stressed." Variable crossover and volume controls on sub enclosure. One MAJOR weakness (see below). I've emailed Mission regarding said weakness, but no reply so far (been less than a week, though)

Product Weakness: When sub doesn't get a low-frequency signal for a preset length of time, it shuts off the amp - with a LOUD pop!! This should be cured!
Product Strengths: Good amp, fine quality woofer, solid cabinetry, variable crossover control.
