Well, I was not able to find too much info about this Avic subwoofer, but I have heard of the company who sells it (holomaxx) and I have purchased from them before in the past without any problems. I believe that the subwoofer deserves some feedback, even if it is just from me. 
Anyway, I decided to purchase under the pretense of being able to try it for 30 days without having to keep it if I didn't like it. I also bought a cable with it, which extended my warranty by another year for a total of 6 years -- nice. I've been using the subwoofer almost daily now, and it has really grown on me.
The description of the Graviton claims it to have smooth and precise sound. I have found this to be true. This subwoofer is excellent at producing non-directional bass, in other words, you cannot really tell where the subwoofer is located by listening for it. I like this a lot, because it makes it easier to work the subwoofer in with my speakers.
My living room is 14x20x11, and in this room the Graviton does not have any problems with maintaining a healthy sound output level. The amp is rated at 300W RMS / 450W peak, which seems like more than enough. The Graviton is not going to cause earthquakes like something from HSU, but for a 10" sealed unit it more than holds its own. Holomaxx claims a 21-150 Hz freq. response, which is in itself impressive. The Graviton is very precise, as advertised, and it is excellent with a variety of music. It is the first sub I was actually able to use for listening to rock music without having a booming bass drown out the rest of the instruments.
I would recommend the Graviton to anybody who wants a quality sub, but does not want a huge ugly tube in their living room.
For its relatively small size and fair $500 pricetag, the Graviton is a good deal in my book. The warranty lasts me 5 years plus 1 year since I bought it with a subwoofer cable, and I have no regrets about my purchase.
