Well, I have some good news. I went over to BB today and talked to the HT manager about a Sub 12. He offered it for $350 so I went ahead and got it. $150 more than I paid for the 10, but from what I've read and heard in the forums, it was a worthy investment. I just plugged it in and am very happy with the purchase. Thank you all for your responses and help.

You bring up a good point. I wasn't even thinking about the return policy. Once again, this is just a hard deal to turn down, even if I have to wait. However, BB not having any idea when they are going to get more bothers me, and the customer should not be penalized because he or she was sold a defective product with no replacement available. The more I read, the more I just want to save up and get the Sub 12 and maybe strike some sort of deal with BB. With the 12 being supposedly that much better than the 10, it seems like that is something I should look in to.

I'm absolutely sure about all the settings. I tested another sub on the receiver, tweaked the gain, crossover, and any sub-related setting on the receiver. I guess the other option is: can anyone recommend a better sub in the $250 range? I know that isn't a lot of money to spend on a sub, but that is one reason I jumped on this deal. I don't have the room or the money for an expensive setup yet, so I'm just building a small HT to get me by. I also don't want to waste money on sub-par equipment that won't last. Thanks for the quick response.

Best Buy's great deal on the SUB 10 on Black Friday was hard to pass up ($199), despite my dislike of BB. Anyway, I waited until Christmas to test it out and it was a long wait for nothing. The blue light was on, but nothing happened. I tried all the outputs, checked the fuse, etc. I took it back to BB the next day, but they had no stock to replace it with. It is now well into January, and BB still has no stock. According to the HT manager there are no BBs within or around their district (NE Ohio) with any of these subs. He told me Klipsch took their stock after finding a problem with the batch of Subs exhibiting the same problem I was facing. I took his statement with a grain of salt, and I was wondering if anyone ran into the same situation. They have no idea when they are going to get a new shipment of subs, and with the deal I had, they were not even going to consider upgrading me to the 12 (which they are now also out of). I have seen other similar posts about Sub 10 problems. Should I try and haggle BB for an upgrade to a 12 should they get those in first? I know it won't be that simple, but I wouldn't mind paying a little more if it would be worth it. Thank you in advance for your responses.

I found a nice deal on a Sub 10 and am looking to upgrade to it. I have read a lot of good reviews about the Synergy series of speakers and namely the Sub 10 and 12. I have had Promedia speakers on my computer for around five or six years now, and now I'm working on a Klipsch home theater. My question is whether there are any amp problems with the Sub 10. I know no product is perfect, and there are going to be some here and there that have issues. Do these subs hold up? Do they suffer from similar amp problems as the Ultra 5.1 sub? (they both have BASH amps, so I am curious). I am on a limited budget, and this sub is $199 at BestBuy right now, which is about the max I can afford. Thank you in advance for your responses.
