The Jamo S 810 is a compact budget subwoofer that gets praised for strong bass in small spaces and solid value around $99. It fits neatly behind an end table, works well for bedroom or apartment setups, and pairs nicely with Jamo bookshelf speakers for music. The bass is described as more satisfying for music than movies, with low end around 36 to 40 hertz. A recurring caveat is audible hum on some units, so the cheap price comes with some risk.
Common Questions (5)
It fits well in tight spaces, including behind an end table, and is described as a good bargain for apartment dwellers. It also pairs well with Jamo bookshelf speakers for a compact bedroom setup.
At $99, it is widely treated as a strong value: one comment calls it the best $100 sub, and another says even a plate amp alone would cost more. It is described as decent for the money, especially for music and small-room use.
The listed low-frequency spec is 36 Hz, and a practical estimate puts the F3 around 40 Hz. That makes it suitable for music and small-room use, though it is not a deep-bass home-theater sub.
It can produce an audible hum even when powered on with no source connected, and the hum may get worse when connected to a source or when touching the amp. That makes it a cheap sub with cheap components, so it may be worth checking for noise after setup.
It can deliver strong bass impact in a house, with one report saying it was felt across the home during gameplay. For music it is described as solid, but it is not positioned as a high-end movie sub.

DIY for audio used to be a pretty decent trade off in savings to performance now it is not as obvious.
If you need more custom stuff DIY reigns supreme. Lots of custom builds out there in home audio, commercial audio and car audio that if done DIY will save you huge money as in thousands.
Beyond needing custom gear folks like to DIY. It is no different from LEGOS or gardening.
I realize sometimes in DIY you save a bundle of cash and that can drive it but more often with the folks I relate to we do it because it is what we want to be doing with our time. Lots of the time very little money is saved, especially if you could be working some job with the time instead to make money vs spending the weekend building something.
Money and paying people to do things for you gets boring and can be very unfulfilling, while making a speaker or a deck is fun!
It should have factory equalization/DSP and power management characteristics built into the design that are set-up and engineered to match the JAMO product. I doubt you could easily reprogram any such DSP on the board. If it doesn't have those things in the design then maybe it has some value to some folks. Have to take and look at the boards and maybe have to measure the amp.
If I DIY subs I don't use plate amps very often though obviously they are right for many uses.
If you want to go full hog get some separate Crown Drivecore XLS (these are nice because they do have built in crossover options) or ICEpower or discounted Hypex stuff or any number of good options that are not plate amps. Allows for much more modular use in the future mixing and matching if things break or you upgrade. Pair with MiniDSP options or other things.
