I just purchased this system, and I'm greatly surprised of the quality sound that it produces. At first, I had a problem bringing the HUGE box home in my car, but for a system of this size, it puts out much more sound than it looks. I almost got the same system but without the woofer, I think that would have been a bad mistake. The woofer isn't incredibly loud (can if you wish), but insted adds a crisp low frequency to add to the quality of sound. I reccomend this product to everyone.
