I bought one of those Cerwin-Vega subwoofers from DAK a while back. Since I
never had a subwoofer before I built a little switch box so I can switch it
in and out. When I first tested it, I couldn't tell the difference, so I
wasn't sure if they worked at all or not. Then I listened very closely to
my speakers and I could hear the extremely low frequencies dissappear when
the subwoofer was switched in. So I am very happy with it, considering that
my main purpose to get a subwoofer was to protect the main speakers (in
particular from demo cds). As for claims of better mid-range with the sub in,
I really couldn't tell.
