And all I have to say is WOW... if my neighbors haven't already called the cops yet, I can only imagine how fast the men in blue will be here when my second one comes. It easily hits lows too low for me to hear, but I sure do feel them. No muddiness that I've noticed, but I'm also not one of those rich, picky "audiophiles" tarnishing the reviews on this beast. I haven't ran Audyssey yet on my Denon AVR-1712 (still waiting for the other sub and my center/surrounds to arrive) and these are the first powered home subs that I've ever owned, so I can't say much more than I'm extremely happy. Totally worth the 188 bucks I got it for. Another thing too is, I haven't even placed it in the corner of the living room yet! The only sub cable I have is only 3 feet long and it doesn't reach. I'm impressed with it just doing its thing smack in the middle of the room set at half volume. Totally curious to see what it can really do once I get my long cables, it's placed correctly and properly configured, and, of course, when it has a good 20 hours or so of burn-in time and warms up to me. I'm a bass fanatic, and I have a permasmile right now. There's just nothing like feeling the power of a good subwoofer to me. Do yourself a favor and order this. Save some money, get your bones rattled, and spend the tons of cash you saved on a popcorn machine and Flavacol seasoning salt like I did. You and your wallet won't regret it. **QUICK UPDATE** I threw the lowest stuff I could think of at it just now. T.I. - Whatever You Like, Petey Pablo - Low, Chicane and Faithless - Cafe Del Mar, and THX Bass Tests. I couldn't crank it up past the point of where I thought the police would seriously show up. Sounded absolutely powerful and fantastic. Best money I think I've ever spent in my whole life. **WEEK LATER UPDATE** Just received my second sub last night, and it's obviously noticeable how true the burn in period has effected my first sub. My new one sounds much like my first sub on the same day; just not as powerful. But having the second sub substantially adds to the feeling of my music. One thing I learned quickly is that stacking my two subs up on themselves is NOT the ideal thing to do; I only did this because I'm waiting on cables and only had a 3 foot piece of wiring to jimmy-rig it up to my front left large speaker. As soon as I got my cables hooked up, and was able to position my newer sub in the opposite corner of the room, the "bass field" opened up; where once I had dead spots in the room, they are no more. I have a typical duplex by the way, no mansion or garage, just a run-of-the-mill apartment type housing layout. My popcorn popper works great! Mmmm, just like the theater... I thought I had my couch rattling before, but with my second sub, it's like having a punch thrown at every square inch of my body while I'm on the couch when it's cranked up. I highly recommend getting two subs of whatever you choose to buy. It has an amazing effect of evening out the "sounds great" spots and the "sounds like ass" spots. Anyways, to sum it all up, I'm more than happy, ecstatic even! I'm happy to be pushing around twice as much air now as I would have buying one expensive sub. **6 MONTH UPDATE** All is good with my two subs, they just sound great. Just the other day I knocked a picture off the neighbor's wall in our duplex; I've kept the volume down a little bit since then. The only thing I've noticed that may be "negative" to some is that at extreme volumes, they seem to limit themselves to a max output, which is a good thing. I'm guessing that there's some sort of regulator in the amp that prevents damage to the speakers. But don't let this push you away from these great subs. Like I said, it's only barely noticeable, and only at crazy loud levels (my Denon 1712 at max volume, playing bass heavy music). If I ever find myself in the highly unlikely situation of needing any more bass than I get with these, I'll be buying from BIC again. Review: Great Value, deep bass and efficient - I’m finally writing my review of the Bic America F12 subwoofer after listening for a few months and I can say it’s a great value. I was impressed with the packaging, large foam blocks encapsulated the sub. The user manual is above average with plenty of recommendations to get the best out of it. Connections are solid, and the dials clearly marked. Finish is high quality. I performed at least 50 hours break-in period at low-med amplitude prior to making my review, that being said I definitely noticed that the suspension is pretty tight right out of the box so you always want to do that procedure. Now on to the review. Overall, this sub has a clear purpose. There is a triangle of subwoofer characteristics including low bass, high efficiency, and small enclosure size: you can only have two. The BIC F12 is clearly and obviously designed for low bass and high efficiency, with the compromise being large enclosure size. (It’s about 15”x16”x18” with feet). Among subwoofers in its price range, it is the largest. (High end subs can get way larger though). However, in a home theater setting where size isn’t necessarily the biggest constraint, it shines. Musically it’s great. If you have the space to stuff it in a corner or wherever, you will be pleasantly surprised, and as a result, it outperforms subwoofers above it’s price range because it’s large box size affords fewer compromises to the sound. I had plenty of time to listen to it on music and movie tracks, as well as straight freq sweeps. I have it placed in a large (>1000 sq. Ft) open concept living room/kitchen. I put it on top of a sub isolation pad even though it comes with pretty substantial rubber feet. After moving it around to determine the best sound, I settled on locating the sub to fire parallel to a wall, about 1-2 inches away from the wall, but I’m seated about 7 ft from the wall so that the backside port has room to breath. This may be a problem for some locations but for my room it was perfect. For frequency response: On straight sweeps it EXCELS at 35 hz, literally shaking everything in your house, even at 3/10 on volume. 30 hz it begins a slight roll-off, but even more rumble is felt. 25 hz is hard to find on actual movie or music tracks but it’s still felt more than heard. Because of the high efficiency, you barely have to turn it up to energize your room. I never had a reason to turn it up past 4/10 because at that point it overcame the mids/highs but I have no doubt this sub could wake up neighbors down the block. However, I must say that the size of the enclosure has been well-designed to be very hefty and strong, hence the size. How does it sound: I’m impressed with the punchiness and musicality of this sub. An example music song that highlights this sub’s strengths is Reminder by The Weeknd. It’s is every bit of punchy as you would expect, but where it excels is in between the punch: where these long 30-40hz very low bass notes are reproduced with smooth energy. It’s saying, hey, I can punch you, but listen to this wave of bass! My favorite thing to listen to is deep bass guitar or live drum sets with two kick drums. This thing gets low with authority!! But the upper bass is fantastic too! On well-recorded music tracks I can hear that “thwap” from a Tom drum strike clear and accurate. I appreciate how it blends in sooo much better with the midrange than my previous sub, a true testament to how well balanced the upper bass is. Overall I would characterize the sound as smooth, and deep. I never heard any port noise or chuffing even at high volume. The speaker cone itself is transparent, as I could place this sub literally anywhere in the room, close my eyes, and I can’t locate where the sub is, but yet disappear into smooth, deep, omnidirectional bass. Explosions in movies shake my couch like there’s an explosion right in my living room! Rap and techno at high volumes rivals large nightclubs. Rock and jazz sounds fantastic, don’t even get me started on string bass. A smaller sealed sub would probably do better with heavily layered complex bass but it still sounds pretty good. The best thing I can say about this sub is that I’m hearing things I’ve never heard before and that makes me want to just listen more. I got it on sale at $250 and for that price I think it’s a bargain. Is it the loudest, lowest-playing, best sub on earth? No. But it definitely outperforms subs in it’s price class because it has a clear mission: a budget sub that is efficient, great-sounding, and hits deep low bass with authority. ## Features - Powered subwoofer with 12-inch injection molded long throw woofer; BASH designed amp - Patented BIC "Venturi" vent eliminates port noise - Adjustable crossover, adjustable volume control, automatic signal sensing - Inputs for both Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital/DTS - Backed by 5-year warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0015A8Y5M | | Additional Features | Bass Boost | | Antenna Location | Volume Control | | Audio Driver Size | 12 inches | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | Surround, Stereo | | Best Sellers Rank | #67,449 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #124 in Home Audio Subwoofers | | Brand | BIC AMERICA | | Color | red | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone, Tablet, MP3 Player, Laptop | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Connectivity Protocol | Bluetooth | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Corded Electric | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,211 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 years | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Frequency Response | 200 hertz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00729305003638 | | Impedance | 8 ohm | | Is Waterproof | FALSE | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 18.25"D x 15"W x 17"H | | Item Weight | 40.3 pounds | | Manufacturer | BIC America | | Model Name | F12 | | Model Number | F12 | | Mounting Type | Floor Standing | | Number of Audio Channels | 5.1 or 7.1 or NA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Power Levels | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Processor Count | 1 | | Series Number | 12 | | Speaker Maximum Output Power | 475 watts | | Speaker Size | 12 | | Speaker Type | Subwoofer | | Specific Uses For Product | personal | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Subwoofer Diameter | 12 inches | | UPC | 777786425586 729305003638 567208589237 885957722195 014444722701 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Woofer Diameter | 12 inches | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Surround, Stereo - **Brand:** BIC AMERICA - **Connectivity Technology:** Auxiliary - **Frequency Response:** 200 hertz - **Speaker Maximum Output Power:** 475 watts ## Images ![BIC America F12 12-Inch 475-Watt Front Firing Powered Subwoofer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-CHgUqOLL.jpg) ![BIC America F12 12-Inch 475-Watt Front Firing Powered Subwoofer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mbvQLxjOL.jpg) ![BIC America F12 12-Inch 475-Watt Front Firing Powered Subwoofer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817C45VvmZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do I connect this subwoofer to my receiver if I do not have a sub output located on the back?** A: I agree that getting a receiver with an RCA sub woofer output is best, a regular sub woofer output is second best and a regular speaker output is third. If it is a regular speaker output, see if your receiver will allow you to customize the output for that line. USE SHIELDED WIRE WHEN YOU CAN. My BIC picked up interference until I put in shielded cables. Twisted-pair may also aid in preventing extraneous noise. **Q: Do I still need to buy an AV receiver to use this sub?** A: You can hook this sub up to a vintage 2 channel receiver with the speaker in and out connections on the back. So you don't have to have an AV receiver. **Q: This has Inputs for both Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital/DTS. I play music/vids in both modes. How does this work, re: cable placement?** A: Setting the switch to Dolby Pro Logic utilizes the Sub's built-in cross-over were Dolby Digital by-passes it and utilizes your receivers LFE filtering. You choose the mode, based of your receiver and the type of signal you are feeding it. **Q: Does it have sterio RCA imputs or one mono RCA imput ?** A: It has one sub input which has an RCA input style plug. It also has two sets of jacks for input that would use two wire connections (+ and -) for left and right. Could use banana plugs on those I think. Additionally, it has two identical sets of connections that could be used for output to connect additional speakers. Again, banana plugs could be used for those or just stripped wires tightened into place. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BIC America, my new favorite audio brand. *by T***R on February 10, 2012* I just received my first sub of two that I ordered, got here in 2 days with super saver shipping!

This one will shake the floor at the low end frequencies. More than enough power for most setups as well -- more than I can use. I turn them up at the most half way for a movie like Gravity or Pirates of the Caribbean. This is a good choice for home audio enthusiasts that want that extra sound from movies and music. With the low cost of this unit, buying two is less expensive than buying one of the top-of-the-line models from the likes of SVS, HSU, et al. I'm sure those are wonderful units, and I like the looks of the SVS subs, but it seems they are more tailored to music, whereas this one is a good "middle of the road" sub that performs well with both music and movies. Overall I think this is a great value for what you're getting. 📦 UNBOXING Nicely boxed, wrapped in plastic and foam style packing material. It comes with a user manual and the power cord, no other cables are included. 🔌 CONNECTIONS There are two different ways to connect this to your AVR or Stereo system. You can connect via the standard RCA Coax if you have a Coax Subwoofer out connection on your AVR/Stereo, or you can connect this "in-line" with your speakers -- that is connect the speaker wire from your receiver to the posts marked IN on the sub, then connect wires going to the speaker(s) on the posts labeled OUT on the back of the subwoofer. Obviously the Coax is preferred, but if you didn't have a Subwoofer output on your receiver you can still use this. 🔧 SETTINGS There are three toggle switches on the back, one is to turn the unit ON, AUTO, or OFF. When set to AUTO the unit turns off when no Low Frequency signal (LFE) is received, and automatically comes on when it detects a signal. This is what I have mine set to. The second toggle switch is to adjust the Phase, depending on placement it may sound better "in phase" or "out of phase". You can often times use THX software that comes on DVD's or Bluray discs to test your phase. The third toggle is for Digital or Pro Logic selection, if you hook it up via RCA Coax you'll select Digital, if hooked up via speaker wire you would select Pro Logic and then you can adjust the Crossover Frequency manually via the adjustment knob. There are two adjuster knobs on the back of the sub, one is for volume control, the other is for the Crossover Frequency. If you are plugged in via Coax your receiver will handle the Crossover, if you wire these "in-line" then you can adjust the Crossover. 📢 FREQUENCY RESPONSE This one handles from 25Hz to 200Hz (+/-3), that's pretty good. A few higher-end subs will go down to 20Hz or even below that. The human ear is 20/20, that is if you have perfect hearing you can hear from 20Hz to 20,000Hz (20kHz). I find this one more than adequate for watching movies and music. 🎼 SOUND It has a good clean bass at low levels, even at the bottom end I don't hear any vibration noises, and there is no port noise. It's clean-crisp bass and shakes the room even at low volume levels. OVERALL I recommend this one for audio enthusiests, it's not top of the line, but for the price you can buy two for the price of one top end sub, and probably have just as good if not better sound.
