BIC AMERICA BICV1220 Venturi 12” 200-Watt Powered Subwoofer. Is this a good subwoofer. If it is, I can get a splendid price for it.

Yeah, you can get a splendid price on it because a BIC sub is a basically a big pile of ****.

You may be better off spending your hard-earned money on a ShamWow.

I have two Acoustech (bic america) h-100 subs on my h-t set up and they sound great! also sound great for music too, sure not as good as subs costing 1000's of dollars, but they did sound better than the two Klipsch RW-12's I had before them IMO.

BIC subs sound much better for music than they do for movies, what are you using it for? I have never been impressed with the way they sound though. I am personally partial to Velodyne but I have been out of the game for awhile.

I think the Acoustech (bic america) h-100 was considered a very good bargain, the V1220 was not considered as good a bargain. But still a pretty cheap sub with performance equal to it's cost. It boils down to what you have to spend or willing to spend. You would probably be better off increasing your sub budget, even if it means waiting and saving, to get a better sub (even used) so you only need to buy a sub once.

What price can you get it for? I guess if it is really a good deal give it a try, only you will be able to tell if it does the trick for you.

I would primarily be using it for movies...EXPLOSIONS!

Ive got the H-100 and am very pleased with it yes there are more expensive subs out
there but just how much output do you really need? It is hard to get any decent sub
in the $ <300 range.

This is where I got mine, Fast shipping, easy transaction. I can recoment this one for the price but dont really know about the other one you mentioned but has to be better than a Sony

The H-100 was designed by Dr. Hsu and for a budget sub, it's pretty darned good. The other Bic models should be avoided. Supposedly the PA-120 (Premier Acoustics) is an improved H-100 or a clone for about the same $$$. Still, after going through a couple of years of sub upgrades a few years ago, budget subs don't cut it for very long. Save some money and get a decent sub...some money = ~ $500.

2 H-100's sound real good for HT and music. Paid less than 500 for both, now they dont sound as good as the Sunfire I used to have but that was over $1000.

for under 400 delivered I have heard good things about these sub kits from Dayton and the higher end ones as well
