The sub behaves very well if it is about a foot and a half from the adjacent walls. This gives the best response and the most bass output, without a lot of blooming. Since it is a very nearfield application in my instance, the bass has tons of slam. I can buzz windows throughout my entire house with this little sub! I have pressed it into HT service as a test and I can say it did a nice job. Just be careful of soundtracks with a lot of infrasonic passages- the bottom end is shored up nicely but won't hande the depth charges in U-571 at high levels. The sub just won't like it.

Overall, I'm very happy with the sound and physical appearance of The Triska Sub. It's kind of a shame to stick it under my desk, as good as it looks!
