Let’s Be Up Front Take a look at competitive subwoofer monitors and you'll find ports on the back of the cabinet. These rear-firing ports tend to create bass coupling with walls and corners over-amplifying low frequency information which in turn colors your mix. The superior design of the KRK10s includes front-firing ports which are just the right shape to reduce port turbulence. You'll appreciate the clean and accurate bass performance this approach delivers, even at high SPLs.
Feel the Bass You need to feel the bass and our proprietary signature yellow woofer delivers tight, clear low end response. Our engineers and listening panel took the K10s speaker voicing to even more accurate levels. Featuring a sweepable 50 Hz – 130 Hz low pass filter, your K10s provides flexible control for any monitoring system. What you hear is what you are intended to hear, coloration is not part of the spec. This performance is brought to you by drivers that are custom-designed by our world-class studio monitor engineering team, for a clear, low-distortion performance.
Take Control Professional engineers like the ability to hear how the sub is affecting the mix. Your KRK subwoofer is equipped with a bypass feature which allows you to defeat the sub and provide full range audio to your recording monitors. To use the bypass function, you will need to use a standard latching 1/4 mono footswitch.

I'm using 2 KRK ROKIT8s in my studio. These bad boys have a good kick! These monitors are amazing, even without a sub. I decided to get the subwoofer, since I'm a huge bass buff. I have to say, this subwoofer is ridiculous. I haven't heard such clean low frequency sound in a while. If you're into making ambient music, dance, electronica, dnb, dubstep, etc...definitely purchase this subwoofer. The level of accuracy on this thing is amazing. It's so clean, and smoothe, you'll get goosebumps the first few times you hear it....no joke.
I've set the crossover at 50hz and this thing shakes my entire studio. The sub itself plays frequencies that the human ear can't hear, but it plays it very well...and I know this because I can feel it. You might not be able to hear the very, very, very low frequencies, but you sure can feel it. You can set the volume on low, and let is smoothly fill up the room with low-end power. It's amazing at even the lowest volume, you get a clean, beautiful, warm bass tone all across the room without overpowering the monitors.
I give an 11 out of 10. lol This sub is beautiful...Superb quality.

I purchased this subwoofer as part of a 'system' (which includes 2 KRK RP8 speakers) for my Korg M3 Keyboard Workstation. I was using my old computer speakers until I got this setup. This subwoofer is impressive, however, I must say my days of having 'golden ears' is long gone. Too many years of exposure to loud sounds (concerts, guitars, motorcycles) and age (51) means I don't have the kind of ears that are particularly discriminating. However, the new keyboard needed a sound system that covered lots of frequencies, the bottom end in particular. I looked into a lot of 'studio monitor' systems, and decided that KRK offered the best options in terms of price/performance. I also must admit that I didn't audition any speakers by listening. It was purely a documentation type review. That said, I'm thrilled with what I've got. The subwoofer has a volume control (which needs to be barely cracked off zero to create a balanced sound with the RP8s), and a variable crossover frequency, to allow a good mix with the other monitors (again, this is something someone with good hearing could take advantage of, which I don't; I left the crossover at 130Hz, the top end). KRK offers a tool which is said to create optimized settings for any room, but I didn't see a need for that. You WILL need cables, though, 4 total, two from the mixer/keyboard, and two more from the subwoofer to the other monitors. The nice thing about KRK is that they provide a number of different options for those connections, at least the input to the subwoofer (only XLR or RCA on the output side of the subwoofer). The input to the subwoofer can be XLR, 1/4" (like a regular guitar/amp cord) or even standard RCA (stereo type) cables, those these latter are unbalanced (which essentially means that a long run may end up being noisy, since there is no shielding in this kind of cable). I used old guitar cables at first, while I waited for my the XLR cables which I ordered from Amazon to get here. I'd be lying if I told you that I could tell any difference between the types of cables, sonically. They are equally secure in terms of solidity of connection. Still, if you want the best possible performance, get XLRs.
I'm very happy with this unit. I've read that it puts out 150 watts, and other places say 225, and I'm too lazy to look up the details in the product documentation. Suffice to say, the power is ridiculous, and would, I believe, easily fill a small concert venue. In my office, a 10'x12' room with cathedral ceiling and hard floor, it's way overkill. In fact, with the 8" drivers of the main monitors (the RP8s), I may have been able to get away without the subwoofer. However, because of the synthesizer portion of the keyboard, I definitely wanted to take advantage of the low end it can produce. The K10S definitely fills that part of the sonic spectrum for me. KRK used to make a 12" subwoofer, with even more wattage, which is what I wanted originally, but the K10S is more than I need as it is,
You have the option to remove the grill, to expose the really cool yellow rimmed speaker cone, but probably not a good idea; the grill provides protection (but the RP8 monitors come without grills; they are an extra cost option). One other thing, if, like me, you like to keep things 'clean', the subwoofer doens not come with a cover. I had one made, to keep the dust off.
Overall, highly recommended.

After the CD player on my Sony bookshelf system (also reviewed on Amazon) finally gave up and they wanted more money to fix it than it was worth, I decided I would use my old computer as my home stereo system.
After doing some online research and talking to a salesman that sold most every brand I ended up with this 10" KRK Active Sub and a pair of KRK RP6G2 Rokit G2 6-inch Powered Studio Monitors.
I have this set up in my 16' X 16' living room, and it is on the verge of being overkill. The sound is nice and pure though. If you want a 'real' sub for your computer for video games, music or just to impress your friends then I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of these.
You will need to buy a cable that has a 1/8" plug to two 1/4" plugs to connect to your graphics card.
You have the option of RCA or XLR outputs to go to your monitors. I used the XLR outputs to go to the 6" monitors.
