Features
Rated 4.8 Out off 5.0*
The Bic Acoustech PL-200 II specs show that it has 250 W of the RMS output, while the dynamic peak output can reach 1000 W. This model has adjustable crossover and volume, while the frequency response is from 22 Hz to 200 Hz. It has a BASH amplifier installed, so the output sound is very powerful and clean. The adjustable crossover is by passable if you adjust the crossover through a digital receiver. It also has an “auto on/off” with a LED indicator. The subwoofer features the automatic signal sensing feature. Unfortunately, this model does not have magnetic shielding, so you need to place it carefully to avoid damaging other devices.
Performance & Sound Quality
Rated 4.8 Out off 5.0*
Customers like the output sound quality of this model – the output sound is phenomenal with every low note full, rich and sharp, no muddiness or the “cheap boom” sound. The unit is also very powerful, if you turn the volume knob above the halfway point, the model will overwhelm you with the output sound. This subwoofer fills a room with the low-frequency sound, even if your setup is in a moderately sized basement room about 10x20. However, some customers claim that you may need two of these subwoofers in a bigger room. Therefore, the subwoofer may sound muddy if you do not place it right, or the room is too big for a single unit. Nevertheless, some customers claim that his model has some “cone flap” during certain extreme scenes and the subwoofer does not sound too good. Other customers find this subwoofer to be “weak” for certain music tracks.
