This my opinion of the Pinnacle Baby Boomer that I posted in Audio Review:

Strength:
This little sub is ridiculously powerful and has a low frequency cutoff of 23Hz!! That is insane for a 10" cube. An interesting design with its opposing drivers in bipolar configuration and no ports- an acoustic suspension enclosure, which is pretty unusual for a sub in my experience. Build quality is excellent. I have my Baby Boomer wired at speaker level, with the outputs going to my mains (PSB Imagine Mini's) to take advantage of the internal first order crossover. This configuration, which I have not used before in other setups, is useful for me in that there is less guesswork in trying to minimize overlapping mid-low frequencies at the crossover point to the mains that can cause undesirable emphasis on certain (usually irritating) bass notes. I can find no fault with it except (see below)

Weakness:
I wish that the volume control was less sensitive at the low end of the scale. An infinitesimal change of rotation brings the sub level from a bit too soft to WAY too loud! I would like more leeway to fine tune the adjustment without having to use a microscope. I can't possibly imagine anyone wanting to have the sub level at even a quarter of its range (which is in relation to the mains) unless the mains in question were very inefficient. A small criticism however, given my overwhelmingly positive experience with it.

This is what I didn't post- I picked up this $1000+ sub in excellent condition on eBay about a year ago for $150. free shipping! I love when things like that happen!
