Jamo C912 Subwoofer, $229? Can it make bass? 

nice! The driver looked like it could handle more so I'm happy to see that worked for you!

can you please explain further how you did that?

Changed for what?

any link for the plate amp?

I was thinking about doing the same, what amp did you use?

My pleasure!

@@NemoPropaganda '2 weeks ago' ????

@@roofpizza1250 members get videos early

@@net_news Ah. THANX.

@@roofpizza1250 yw my friend!

Hahaha! ME TOO! I ordered it (MkII) the moment we were allowed to at 9:00am in the morning! (I think it was March 9th if I recall?). WOW you must be my twin, cuz I was doing the EXACT SAME THING! Looking at this 12-inch Jamo sub first! I was almost about to pull the trigger on buying this C912, but then found out the RMS power was only listed as 75 watts!? Nah, i'll just wait for the Speedwoofer instead! (Which, like you said, SHOULD be arriving next week!) 😀😊🤔

Wise choice, I expect the speedwoofer (either one) to murder this Jamo in every sense of the word.

@@corkydukeII5898 I had a couple additional almost purchases from Monoprice and SVS. Luckily I got the notice from RSL as I almost spent a bit more than I wanted. Mine is showing up on Friday! Hope you like yours

@@antigravity19 Hehe! Yeah, luckily indeed! (I too was looking into Monoprice....oh wait, no, I think it was 'Monolith'...but their prices are in the SVS range). So yeah, Luckily RSL came to the rescue and solved our Sub woos! (although truth be told, I probably would've been more than happy if Jamo wouldn't have screwed up and just given the C912 an appropriate wattage number...like 150 RMS...a number most of us could no doubt live with). Oh well, I'm sure the $450 price tag will be more than worth it! 😁😊(Btw - This RSL '2nd sub' that I/we just ordered is meant to compliment my already existing SVS PB1000 that I purchased about 6 yrs ago...)

@@NemoPropaganda I Just placed an order for the speedwoofer as well. But Do you recommend for esthetics to get this one at $175 ? My whole system is the White C series Jamo speakers, and the only thing missing is the subwoofer :D Ill hide the speed and pretend the C912 is doing the job

cool cool, jamo go make some food lol

yeah, it depends how big the room is.

oh yes, the SB1000 Pro is much better and much smaller.

@@NemoPropaganda Wow, that's unbelievable bcuz I love this Jamo C912. Thank you for the info! 😀

I think you misunderstood or misheard what I said but an upgrade from here would be the Emotiva SE8 and up from that would be the RSL Speedwoofer, and up from that would be the Rythmik L12.

SE12 is much better, built better, and extends lower, if you want one move fast because they're on clearance and not coming back. Hope that helps.

That's how I ended up at this video too

Nice! welcome to the show!!!!!!!!!!!

a single larger port or adding a second port will raise the tuning frequency. This driver & plate amp are most likely not up to the task of producing anything below 30hz, the driver can't do it and the plate amp doesn't have the power to support it. This is a good cheap sub for $200 but it will have it's limits.

Probably not. Your sub, although 10" ported, is 300W, with 500W peak. The amp alone is considerably more powerful, which won't just translate to higher SPL but usually better control and dynamics as well. There are more factors overall to consider, but stopping right there on the spec sheet you could likely make the assumption that you're not going to upgrade with the jamo, and more likely you'd be stepping down even though you'd 'gain' a larger driver. And likely that gain is only with the circumference of the cone. Your JBL probably has a larger motor section based on the wattage they are driving it with vs. the Jamo. You'd probably have to shop in the $500-$600 range to best your current sub with any considerable margin. There are some budget outliers and sales that may lower the cash outlay a bit, but that's my opinion on the performance aspects.

@@erics.4113 Thank you very much. Think I'll save for a SVS SB-2000 Pro instead. Where I live a KEF Kube 12b would also be a budget option. It's a 12 inch sealed design with a 300W RMS amplifier and a 22hz rated response, but, as with the Jamo, I can't find many reviews online.

probably not brother.

Rhythmik L12

No

I don't have LFE.

I do not see a case for buying more than 1 Jamo C912, if you have the budget for a pair or more you should buy a better subwoofer instead.

personally I'm not a big fan of the ultra budget subwoofers, some of them like this one sound great but they all have very limited output and extension. If around $200 is the top of your budget I'd go for the Jamo C912 over just about anything else. The only other cheap sub I like the JBL 550p.

It is

dunno how close they are but both are owned by VOXX International. Kinda like YUM Brands owns both KFC and Pizza Hut. VOXX owns a crap load of brands.

That's what I've heard but I'm not sure honestly.

Yeah for sure, it just might be a bit too big for a bedroom though....

@@NemoPropaganda thank you i decided to go with the sony sa-cs9 10’

@@Carsonplayz that's better sized for a bedroom for sure :)

its great for the money, just dont expect substantial output.

I think you'll not only be satisfied but you may like the speedwoofer more.

You can do that but only with complete systems like powered speakers or powered subwoofers. CEA testing for example is what you are describing for subwoofers.

do it~!

@@NemoPropaganda I did be here Monday. Thanks for the review I've already got the c93ii and the center plus 803s but I've got to stop. I do appreciate your opinion.

@@NemoPropaganda beats living with regrets right brother.

@@larryh.4629 its a good sub bro, for the money you can't go wrong! Def save money going forward though :) that's always a good thing.

@@NemoPropaganda yeh I dig it this old cat turned 71 last month and I'm trying to get my tunes going again. I just checked of course amazon will jack the price to 229 so you feel good then 3 wks from now it will fall to 115 . But hey. My brother was complaining about his 40 yr old harmon kardon. Probably needs caps and cleaning. If he wasn't my brother I'd sweettalk him out of it but being the nice guy I am. I just can't. Dang morals keep getting in the way. Thank you for the support I've been very happy with the jamo line was the first speaker that had me turn full right looking for the source. I'm Midwest cat what part of my wonderful country you call home. Non specific. My guess S.E. gotta go. Bedtime for this old buzzard.

Hey Square, so it might seem like I'm exaggerating but I'd say it's roughly a 250-300% improvement. The speedwoofer is on another level. It's like asking how a base model Honda Fit compares to a fully loaded Honda Accord. Those that have driven both cards will agree while the Honda Fit is fantastic for the money it doesn't hold a candle to the more refined Accord.

@@NemoPropaganda That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear, truth be told. PLEASE wish me luck in convincing the Mrs. The Wife Acceptance Factor is the only bottleneck in my system other than my tiny budget. 🤣

@@SquareOFortune i will pray to bass gods for you 🙏🏻

I have not heard that one but it's probably similar maybe a little better.

yeah, the Jamo plays a little cleaner than the polk.

They're both pretty good budget solutions. SE8 is a little cleaner and better for music while the Jamo has a larger sense of scale which is better for theater.

I don't know bro, Jamo marketing is all messed up, their website lists 200w, 300w, 400w, and 75w at different times and on the specsheet for the C912 it says 10" woofer so I have no idea anymore. The sub sounds great for the money and I have no idea what the watts are.

I don't know.

Any insights just based on the specs?

@@gopinaths5159 this is really just a guess but I think the Jamo has the most neutral port tuning frequency out of all the ultra cheap subs, the Klipsch is most likely tuned higher up and may have harder tone to its bass. The Klipsch does give you double the power but a smaller driver so I think output will be similar on both. I'd choose the Jamo for its more linear frequency response. Again this is all a guess.

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Def no, i’d just go for the RSL Speedwoofer, it’s a superior option.

I think so, the Jamo has a much cleaner sound.

@@NemoPropaganda you said good subwoofer that needs more power to run it but it is in a good size cabinet and that helps with the LFE

@@Mjaybird the large cabinet helps with efficiency yes. With only 75w this cannot play tremendously loud but if you stay within its output range it sounds very clean.

@@NemoPropaganda I think with the room we have with the tv it should be good. If we ever move we could buy a second one. Right now in our townhouse I don’t want something to big or loud

@@Mjaybird ehhhh, the C912 isn't small by any means bro, it's kinda of on the bigger side if size is a concern.

No, this would not be an upgrade for you.

​@@NemoPropaganda - Thank you. Also, you may have seen a different message in your email notification because I initially misread your message, but now I'm seeing that you said that it would NOT be an upgrade for me.

@@trentmonaghan179 if you love it $45 is a low price to pay assuming they can fix it but a new RSL Speedwoofer would be a great upgrade!

@@NemoPropaganda - Thanks. I'll be looking at your video and others for the RSL Speedwoofer.

75w RMS, 300w peak, per Jamo spec sheet.

@@NemoPropaganda thx, i have another question. What sub will be better a jamo j12 or jamo c912?

@@FoxAlky I believe the j12 is discontinued. I have not heard it.

I totally agree but then there are those who listen around 90-95dB, I have met these people and they really do exist. I was genuinely shocked that anyone could find that enjoyable.

nothing better in the $200 category but if you have some extra cash the Speedwoofer 10s is a big step up.

good question!

that's about as cheap as it gets for entry level theater!

@@NemoPropaganda Not enough power to really take advantage of the cabinet size though

@@Audiomainia2310 yup, but for such a low price 30hz is low enough for the money I think.

@@NemoPropaganda At $204, It may be best to buy two of them as one way to offset the less than desired power.

@@rickw2023 nah, at $408 It's better to have a single RSL Speedwoofer.

whats the difference? you understood didn't you?

Its not made by klipsch. Just the same parent company.

So, if they are often on sale are they ever really on sale?

@@roofpizza1250 good point 🤣😅

@@roofpizza1250 if you believe they are on sale, they are. They are really just, for sale

@@erics.4113 I wouldn't buy anything from them do to more than dishonest marketing.

@@roofpizza1250 I don't know that I believe any marketing as truth-telling. There is always a bias to the positive, just a nature of the task. Agreed that some are less ethical than others, by miles. And if spotted I would be less inclined to patronize organizations that conduct themselves with utter disregard to the truth just to sell some crap

Fathom is way too expensive IMO but I will review the E110 and D110 pretty soon!

@@NemoPropaganda Cool! I’ve been eyeing those too! Thank you:) Dreaming of the unobtainable saves me a lot of money.And that Fathom would look ever zo nice in my living room!

@@Gibberishus I'm sure it's nice but for the money a pair of E15hp2 would be more likely for me, then again I have not heard the fathom.
