    Small RBH subs are GREAT!

    This is the one I own.

    This ad is from the web.

    You are correct sir. I just did a web. conversion.

    I thought mine was 12x12x12. Sorry. ;)

    When I can get to mine again, I'll be sure to measure it.

    Martin Logan dynamo original. The one in my bedroom rocks, and I used it for the two channel sub in the large living room for a while crossed over around 65hz and it filled the space nicely: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Martin-Logan-Dynamo-Subwoofer-Sub-Powered/163774840645?hash=item2621bdbf45:g:p-kAAOSwLM9dMMaE

    It sounded BIG and FAST. I cranked the receiver it was on w/KEF Coda 90 little towers and the sound was all anyone could ask for. B)

    These little towers were the only speakers paired with my RBH sub. I listened for a few days and was VERY impressed every time! <3
    These are rare little towers. Sorry the ad maker has their pictures sideways!

    Here's a better link to the KEF Coda 90's with a picture of what's behind the grill.

    I bought this little RBH sub from Craig's list for 50.00. Even the seller said he regretted selling it for so little knowing how it performs. :)

    Great recommendation! I completely forgot about Def. Tech. Super Cubes!

    I've heard from a few people that they are all you could ask for! I've never owned a Super Cube but I do have a 15" Def. Tech. Powerfield Sub that I have an amp being looked at in their repair facility for the past many months or so. I have to hand it to Def. Tech. that they would try and repair an older sub amp for me at all. B)<3
