Fluance DB10W 10-inch Low Frequency Powered Subwoofer for Home Theater (Natural Walnut)

If plugged into Fluance speakers, the cross over is 80 hz. Sub hits nice between 80 and 45 hz. Starts to trail off under that, 40 Hz is okay, but by 35 and 30, it can't punch that low. It advertises 38Hz, so I think spot on and delivers as promised. Fits that punchy bass as most people call it. Need to break in more for better results, as probably only at that 15 hour mark, with this review. For $200, have to recommend. The walnut and black looks great and great budget amp and driver. Packaging and delivery to the Midwest for me was outstanding. Great for an office or smaller room, where you probably wont have the room acoustics for anything nicer anyways and you'll just be wasting money on something nicer. For theater rooms, it could work I suppose if your really on budget.

When I first got my speakers they sounded good, and I thought they had plenty of punchy, but clean bass. After awhile I felt like the bottom end could be better so I got this Fluance sub and it's exactly what was missing. I feel like it's an excellent "foundation" for my music and theater system. It's easy to setup, powerful, aesthetically pleasing and ported on the front so it can be placed out of the way near a wall, and who doesn't love a great bottom end!

Very nice woofer.

Paired perfectly with my JBL 250B bookshelf speakers. Gave just the punch i needed. It delivers clean base. Compliments to Fluance for safe shipping. Double boxed with padding inside. Came without so much as a scratch. Would highly recommend.

I have a 20+ year old Klipsch sub I’ve used for years but when I bought new Fluance towers I NEEDED the matching sub. If you’re OCD like me you know things have to match. Same brand, same model and same color is a must. Some of you know what I’m saying. lol (Fluance recalled the 12” subs for amp issues so I bought the 10”) After an hour of Pantera I realized the Fluance sub wouldn’t cut it so I switched back to my Klipsch. Now things don’t match and it sucks but Pantera sounds great again. If you use two it would probably help but I didn’t have the space for that. I will say that the Fluance sub appears to be solid and well made. Maybe it didn’t like my room. The other Fluance products are great BTW.

A great budget speaker. Has nice deep base.

Wow! Added the DB10 to my vintage system and the added low frequency range makes it sound amazing. A great product from Fluance. One of the few sub woofers out there that allows for high level inputs straight from the speaker outputs on your vintage amp and the Auto On feature is an added bonus.

Shipping took forever! Once it hit the states it bounce back and forth to the same parts of Ohio and back to Illinois. Shipping took so long I thought it was lost . I have asked for refund , but it arrived today . Needless to say I will be sending it back. There is no deep bass . Struggles to get into the low ranges . Reminds of a blown woofer . I would not recommend this product even if you can wait for the shipping. You will be really disappointed.

Les bonnes nouvelles (les moins bonnes suivront ci-dessous): - Emballage supérieur qui protégera votre investissement. En fait, ceci donne déjà un aperçu du sérieux de cette entreprise que je ne connais pas. - Esthétique et fini agréable. Aucun défaut apparent. - Produit une contribution positive même à un très bas niveau sonore. - Aucun 'clic' audible en mode auto, lorsque le subwoofer devient sollicité. - Aucun 'hum' audible en mode standby ou actif. - Ajoute un octave à mes (excellents et dispendieux) petits haut-parleurs principaux, sans dégradation aucune de la qualité sonore. Les moins bonnes nouvelles: - Les spécifications de puissance et de réponse en fréquence sont modestes. Oubliez les tremblements de terre en mode cinéma et les sons extrêmement bas, d'autres produits existent pour cela. - Les connecteurs ne permettent que le branchement de petits câbles dénudés (en mode speaker B). Les connecteurs sont par ailleurs très rapprochés. Il y a peu d'espace. Il faut prendre son temps pour connecter le tout sans court-circuiter vos appareils. J'aurais personnellement mis quelques dollars de moins sur l'emballage et quelques dollars de plus sur ces connecteurs. Mais bon, une fois connectés, ceci devrait faire l'affaire. - Il y a un témoin lumineux indiquant que le subwoofer est sous-tension, mais pas de témoin pour signaler qu'il est actif. À très bas niveau, il faut vraiment se rapprocher à quelques pouces pour entendre s'il est actif ou non. En résumé, ce produit dépasse mes attentes. Je le recommande pour peu que vous ayez pris le temps d'établir correctement vos besoins. MISE-À-JOUR JUIN 2025 Contrairement à ce que j'ai écrit plus haut, il existe un connecteur en forme de 'U' avec une ouverture de 5mm compatible avec ce produit. Plusieurs offres disponibles sur Amazon à partir de 10$ pour un ensemble. Offre une connexion supérieure et plus sécuritaire que le fil nu. Moins de risque d'endommager vos appareils. Les connecteurs standards 'Banane' et 'Aiguille 2mm' ne sont pas compatibles. Je réitère ma très grande satisfaction pour cet achat.

This is a very good subwoofer, solidly build at a very reasonable price. It has all the inputs you need, including speaker level inputs. Arguably this is the best way to hook up your sub, because it gets the same input as the main speakers and then low pass filters it. I have tried this sub with a 35 W rms/ch amplifier and relatively small hi-fi speakers and a 100 W rms/ch amplifier with large floor standing hi-fi speakers. In both cases it really boosts the low frequencies making the sound full, deep and well separated. For starters, set the volume level to just under half and the low pass filter to 80 Hz, listen to a variety of music genres and adjust to your liking, if needed. Don't let the 45 W rms rating of the sub's amplifier fool you, this is plenty for most people in most settings,unless you are operating a discotheque. The sound output is deep, musically pleasing and you can feel the low bass notes in your gut!

Decent. Not awesome. Good for the $

I've had a fair bit of experience with 2 channel hifi systems over the years, using floor standing speakers most of the time. Putting togerther a new system with a 25 watt power amp and small bookshelf speakers, the bottom end of the frequency range was noticably missing. The stereo sounded flat. Connecting the DB10W to the speaker posts (no dedicated subwoofer output option available on my amp) my two channel system came to life, tranforming it into a rich hifi experience, when played at low volume which is my preferred way of listening. Charlie Haden's bass playing on Beyond The Missouri Sky sounds wonderful with the BD10W. For price to performance ratio the B10W is excellent.

Attractive, nicely finished. Sound wise nothing stands out. It is adequate for its size but I cannot report that it is anything special. Price is reasonable.
