"The CSX-12 Mark II is the first $400 sub I’ve heard that gave me the “thrill ride” effect I like to experience when I watch action movies. It gives home theater fanatics that gut punch they crave, and it gives audiophiles the definition and precision they want." -Soundandvisionmag.com

Best bang for the buck

I am really impressed by this subwoofer. It has exceeded my expectations by far for what it's priced at. The quality of the finish is amazing. This subwoofer is probably going to cause some of the mosaic glass tile on my fireplace to fall off. I'm going to have to do some work to secure a few things it rattles...like the top of the microwave IN MY KITCHEN! Am I an audiophile? Yes. Am I and expert? No. Does it sound amazing to me? Absolutely. In the end, it's really the only thing that matters.
Excellent Value!

So I got my Cadence CSX12 Mark II last week and I think it is a great value. It was well packaged and double boxed so it didn't suffer any shipping damage despite a fairly large dent in one of the corners of the box. It is heavy at 70+ pounds (which is a good thing). Fit and finish is excellent for the price. It sounds a heck of a lot better than the JBL SUB12 that it replaced. Plays well with music and movies. Overall I'm really happy with my purchase and have absolutely no regrets. I don't think you could do any better for $279.
Amazing bass for such a good price!

Amazing subwoofer! Can shake the whole room if needed and low enuff for the regular stuff. Amazing product, highly recommended.
Great price, even better sound.

I was in the market looking for a sub for a little over 3-6months. I did lots of research, looking through countless forums and even visiting a few shops. I finally settled on the CSX12 Mark II. Simply put, it plays loud & low with absolutely no signs of stress. My wife loves the way it looks, the piano black finish adds a classy feel to it and helps blend with my living room nicely. It has brought a whole new life to my movie viewing experience. Avatar, Tron, 300, Fifth Element, Transformers and much more movies all seem to have come to life. Its like we are looking at them for the first time. The best part is I didn’t have to pay for shipping. This was surprising because this thing is heavy. The enclosure is clearly built well. For the money, and given performance, I think I made a great choice.
AMAZING SOUND!

This thing rocks!! My basement is basically my man-cave. We are always watching movies or listening to music while playing pool. Either way the stereo system is always on. I just wanted something to fill my basement with BASS and not have to worry about “setting it up right.” Right out the box, it sounded great. It even looks nice too. I listen to everything from Classic rock to trance and hip-hop, and I have yet to find a song that this sub couldn’t handle. Definitely a good buy!
