 Superb sub, even better customer service! Dec 27, 2008
I purchased this sub along with four new Def Tech Pro 1000 monitors and a Pro2000 center. I did not like the sound, and weak aesthetics of the Def Tech 1000 sub, thus I turned to JBL. Have owned many of their products over the years and have been quite please, though they have gone a little mainstream, and would support only their high end offering.
Customer Service: Couldn't believe it, but my first one that came was dead on arrival. Nothing, cables, receiver setting, just one big heavy dead black box. Contacted JBL, they had me try an analog run through the DVD output to be sure, but again nothing. They told me to return it as it was obviously defective. They even offered to replace itself themselves if I had any trouble through the retailer! I'll take that kind of service and caring any day!
Customer service, part 2: Called Amazon and explained the situation, they sent a new one at no charge, overnight and sending a call tag to return the bad one. I could not ask for better customer service, my hat's off to you, and empowering your customer service rep's to rectify the situation. No haggling, complaining, or needing to talk your way up the ladder to get something done. This is the makings of a customer for life.
Performance: Sounds wonderful. Sealed sub's like this are very musical, and very very tight. I love this type of sound. Ported subs are a cheap way to get the specs better, IMO, and requires alot less power. This sub has power to spare. It might not get all the way down like some people like, but this baby is low and super tight, not woofy just to vibrate the walls. Try some DTS or DD 5.1 concert videos, and you will know exactly what I mean. At +/- $400 bucks or so, unbelievable value, and as bonus, has a nice small footprint to easily position.

 Excellent ! Nov 21, 2008
This subwoofer is made to produce QUALITY sound. Some reviews here and elsewhere complain that it does not pump out high amounts of booming base.
This is not a car sub. It is a home theater sub. It produces very clean and tight base, at respectable levels, even when playing action movies.
I much rather have realistic base than simply a big box that pumps out low frequency vibration.
I've tested many subs, and for this price point, you cannot get better quality.
That said, if you have a very large room, you may have to turn the volume up high to get the same level that cheaper subs put out.
Also, placement within the room is everything when it comes to subs.
Don't hesitate: If you can get this for 350-450, buy it.

jbl l8400p subwoofer Jun 25, 2008
brand new this subwoofer is great for small to medium sized rooms. medium meaning around 13' by 18'. Low end base is good but could be a slight bit heavier for a sub this size. Its worth the amazon price of $450.00 for the size room or smaller that i stated at the beginning.

Great Subwoofer for Home Theatre Apr 24, 2008
I was tryin to debate whether to get this $450 600 watts RMS subwoofer or the $175 JBL SUB12 with 300 watts RMS. I decided to go all out and get this one received it very quickley(3 days) thanks to PRIME shipping. Hooked it up and the clarity was amazing. Its actually not as powerful as I thought it was going to be but still very clear. If I had the choice to do it again I would just get the $175 SUB12 but its not worth the shipping to send it back so Im keeping it and very pleased with it. Had to play around with the positioning for about two weeks. I have a small room and tried 2 different positions in my walk in closet and it was louder in the next room than it was in my room so I eventually placed it at the front near the TV(only option). Big difference...It was alot louder in my room from the listening positions once i got it to the front I was very pleased.

Consumer Reports Says Buy Your HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2008) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2007 and June 2008. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its December 2008 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com and Crutchfield.com came closest.
