"Great sound, great price"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I use this sub with Samson 65A's and I could sit and listen to them all day long. I had this setup at the studio and purchased another setup for listening to music at home
Sound
Incredible tight smooth bottom end for the price
Features
If you're searching for high end studio capability this is not for you. Kind of a bare bones approach, great sound, low price
Ease of Use
Very easy to set up, great sound in a few minutes
Quality
Built solid, even a higher levels there is no cabinet buzz as I've heard on other subs
Value
Compares with other products in a much higher price range
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed any support to date

"No 5.1, no balanced lines"

Overall: 3 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Features
You can't run a balanced line from the input to the balanced inputs on the resolv65a or 80a monitors (or any other monitors for that matter.) This really bites my ass as it is evident that no forthought was used when designing the unit. This is also became more evident when I discovered that no 5.1 was available either.
Quality
It gets a 6 because of the poor features, and although the product produces good audio, it cannot compensate for the fact that I will have to go out and buy 2 di boxes and a 5.1 decoder to run a 5.1 balanced line system.
Value
It was affordable and thats why I got it.
Manufacturer Support
I asked them what frequency I should set the sub crossover to for use with the 80a monitors and have still not received a reply (The manual says first try 75 hz and work your ears around what you think sounds best) I do not want it to sound good, I want it to be accurate. I have found now though that after much use 65hz seems to be producing quite accurate results.
The Wow Factor
Having upgraded my studio to balanced lines means that it has become more of a burden than any other studio component of mine

Samson Resolv 120A Sub Customer Review

Sound
Great for the low end in your music... You will need RCA cables for a 2.1 hook up to the Samson 50A's....The sound is unbelivable for the price.
