It doesn't play loud or low, hardly a subwoofer. I think the 35Hz is at most -6dB.

If you have small speakers then it gets you some of the bass missing from them.

So, it isn't a good sub as such, but it might enhance your music/movie listening experience.

If I wanted a budget powered sub, I think I'd look at the Parts Express lineup:
