NZXT Relay PC Gaming Subwoofer - AP-SUB80-US - Deep, Powerful Bass - Compact Design - 140 Watts - Down-Firing 6.5" Driver - Crossover & Phase Control - Black

I bought this NZXT sub to pair with my Kanto reference speakers which have excellent sound quality but really do lack bass. I primarily use a 2.1 system for gaming and have been using the Klipsch promedia 2.1s for decades and they finally died on me. I have several other NZXT pc products and have already enjoyed their price per quality.This sub was nicely packaged and easy to install. It’s rather small and takes up minimal real estate under smaller desks. The build quality is above average and the overall finish is very well done with a nice soft matte black.Once booted up and after playing some music and some games I noticed nearly zero bass coming from the sub but with some fine tuning I got some decent bass. It’s not overbearing and house shaking bass, it’s just enough. The bass can sound muddled down a bit so altering the knobs on the back is vital to achieving the sound you want.When fine tuning this sub just be mindful that every set-up is different so you’ll have to mess with your system volume, application volume, sub and speaker volume and finally crossover settings. It’s also advisable to mess with the system EQ settings as well to get the perfect sound you’re looking for. Overall I’m happy I bought this sub when it was on sale versus the very expensive Kanto sub.

We have a vintage motor home that we’ve been restoring, and I wanted a stereo system that sounded fantastic - but space is very limited. There’s little wall space due to cabinets, appliances, and windows, plus there’s hardly any floor space that you can fit a big box like most subwoofers. I found the perfect small speakers to mount all along the walls of the living area and kitchen, but most subwoofers are too big. I had to keep it small as possible with no dimension being over 12”. That’s nearly impossible with a good-sounding sub. I started with another brand sub, just a little smaller than this one. It sounded great and fit in well, but had terrible quality issues that I won’t go into here. Then I found this one, and for the price I wondered if it would be any better.It came yesterday, and I first noticed that it was heavier than I expected - much heavier than the competitor’s sub that I had to return. I took it out to the RV and had it working with the sound I wanted within a few minutes. Wow, it fit in the space perfectly, and sounds amazing with my system. It’s got plenty of low end for me, without maxing it out. It’s definitely a keeper.Is it enough low end for some of you who blast music and movies in a large room, and want to rattle the neighbors’ dishes? NO it is not, so don’t read that into what I’m saying. If you like to listen to music or watch TV in a small room or RV at levels that you’d be able to hear somebody next to you if they said something, then this little sub will have more low end than you’ll ever use. The hook up is simple as can be, and the quality seems to be outstanding - we’ll see how it lasts, and I’ll update here if it proves otherwise long term.

Fast delivery, easy installation, nice controllable volume & good quality Subwoofer sound.

High bass tone only. no low bass, sounds bad.

From a Micca review to this: I upgraded from MB42 speakers to MB42x G2s. Great bass response, however there is a mid lower bump on the new speaker that gives a mild or subdued mid-range response. To compensate I partnered these with a Fosi Audio DA-2120c with built in DAC and equalizer. Also replaced the Fosi 32v x 5amp power with a 36v x 5amp power adapter and 12 gauge speaker wire to maximize speaker wattage and clarity. Also have the NZXT Relay subwoofer for heavy lows and with the tone controls and equalizer the sound quality and balance are great. Have to say these are great near field speakers and I would highly recommend them with a desktop build, surround or just a great 2.1 setup.

I bought this for my bedroom. While I wouldn't aim for bass I can FEEL with the Relay, the bass I can HEAR fills in the lows wonderfully for the price point. I keep the crossover on the lowest setting. Anything near middle setting or higher and it gets muddy.I love this sub. I have been using Bose Companion computer speakers on their own for years. Night and day difference. Music, games, streaming shows/movies. Fantastic.

Es muy bueno, funciona de maravilla, sencillo de instalar.

Pretty good for the price. Not extremely bassy, but for my small office and gaming it’s great.
