In before the audio elitists come here and say their $300+ subwoofer performs much better than this. Well obviously.
However at $100 new this is still a fair value and good enough for something like pairing it with cheapo around $100 bookshelf speakers or a soundbar with sub out for use on a computer desk or a tiny bedroom and you aren't going to playing any audio at high volumes. Having a subwoofer is still better than no subwoofer at all, especially with speakers that have tiny 5" or smaller drivers.
Just be aware this sub is only rated to go as low as 36 hz max. Perhaps it is due to the slim form factor since I've seen even budget 8" subs be able to hit around 30hz and other budget 10" subs hit 25hz.

The large majority of music doesn't go below 40Hz, so 36Hz would be ok. Movies are where you'd want something that can extend to 20-30Hz, or even lower if you want the "felt" sort of bass effects.

No. it doesn't just completely stop playing anything under 36hz. 36hz is whats called the 3db down point. It's where the frequency starts to roll off but not disapear completely. Depending on severity of the slope or rolloff, like if it continued at 3db per octave, it would be just another minus 3db at 1 octave below 36hz which is 18hz, (ie: if it was playing 118db at 36hz, it would play 115db at 18hz, this is how a 3db per octave slope works) so it could still easily extend below 36hz, just not as loud. I'm not sure how much useful volume you could realistically expect out of a budget 75-watt RMS 10" sub at or below 36hz, especially in an open room, where you get no cabin gain like you would in a car anyways. But the point of what I'm saying is the 36hz cutoff point is where the level starts to roll off, (-3db to be exact) not where its nonexistent.

Works...but not in Firefox.
