JBL Sub-woofer failure (popping)

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: I do not recommend any JBL sub-woofer product, until JBL admits its defect issues on current product and remedies.
Review: It appears many have had the same problem I had. Bought the system, had it for 3 months before I moved to China for a year. Came back and within a month it began popping (deafening) like crazy. Works intermittently, but then begins popping again...

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IT WILL BREAK ON YOU AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE A DECENT END TABLE FOR YOUR 300 DOLLARS.
Review: THE AMP HAS NOW BURNT OUT ON ME TWICE AND NOW JBL WON'T HONOR THE WARRANTY. MY AMP BURNT OUT THE FIRST TIME JUST OVER A YEAR OF THE PURCHASE. THE REPAIR SHOP FIXED IT AND SAID THAT JBL CAME UP WITH A MODIFICATION FOR THE AMP. WELL A LITTLE OVER A...

JBL Powerbass 12 home theater powered subwoofer

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 2003
Review: I recently purchased my JBL PB12 subwoofer from JandR music world for a modest $293 dollars. I purchased it, because I heard so much good praise about it, especially from my cousin who purchased it a few months back. It took me a while to set-up and...

GARBAGE!

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2004
Review: This thing is garbage! If it hasn't died on you yet, it's just a matter of time. Look at all the reviews on Amazon. Everyone is having the same problem...the amp board dies, and JBL does not have parts to fix it. So, you end up with a $350 boat...

An Excellent All-Around Subwoofer

Date of Review:  Aug 28, 2001
The Bottom Line: A great subwoofer for Home Theater and Music at a great price.
Review: This subwoofer was purchased to complete a JBL home theater setup and is a perfect addition. There are many choices when it comes to subwoofers today: driver size, amp power, down or side firing, ported, etc. This subwoofer seems to be an economical...

Great sound, great value

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: The JBL PB12 sounds great. Is it professional grade? No. But it sure has impressed all who have listened to it.I'm impressed with the cash left in my pocket.
Review: After looking for a subwoofer to compliment my system for about 4 months I expected to spend $350 to $500 to meet my needs. I narrowed it down to a few models, Polk, JBL, and Sony. The JBL blew the others away and I found it on line for under...
