I received this speaker system for my birthday many years ago and it still hits very hard after having gone through years of abuse. I love my bass-hitting music and even turn it up so that I can hear my music from my bedroom while I'm in the shower. The bass has been blasted so loud with bass-test songs that shelves have emptied themselves all over my floor as well as multiple drinks having fallen off of my desk. This system located upstairs on the second floor makes the support columns located outside of my house by the front door vibrate when it is at 3/4 volume with bass all the way up. This is by far worth the 100$ and I was surprised to find out it has 200w RMS. I had been thinking it was atleast 500w RMS.GREAT BUY! However, if you're a parent expecting to get any sleep do not buy it for your child, your house will shake.
