Most of the members here will point you in the direction of HSU or SVS. JBL's aren't known for high deep bass output. At the $1000.00 price point I think there are better choices.

FWIW I owned a jbl sub before I knew any better, the e250p, which i believe would be almost identical to this one minus some power and a touch less extention. Please learn from my mistake.
If you notice jbl doesn't list any +/- point for the frequency response, this is because the sub will run out of juice around 30hz just like the e250p's -6db at 32hz and took a HUGE nosedive after that (hardly any output in the 20s).
If you want a sub that'll shake the walls with boomy unarticulate bass then jbl has what you are looking 4.
Spend your hard earned money on a quality product from aci, axiom, hsu, onix, svs, velodyne etc.... or give DIY a try.
Just my 2 coins. Good luck with your decision.

Yes I'm sure it's an improvement but in what aspect? Was it more articulate or just louder? I'm sure the 8400 is a "fine" product but at 6-900$ there are better subs to be had especially at this price point. Yes you are right it is more like the 120 and I know this isn't a perfect comparison it's just stating that jbl subs aren't that good.
For around 600 I'd get on the bstock waiting list for a vtf3 from hsu or find out how that new nsd driver sounds from svs.(the usual suggestions)

Keep in mind the E250P can now be had for only $150 at Frys, so it really is not a good comparison. |

Well, due to the overwhelming support of the 3750 I got after my last post (j/k ), I ended up picking one up for $399 locally. I have to say that it is equally impressive in my house as it was on the demo floor. The small form factor fits my living room and the sound fits my taste.
thanks
here it is (yes, I know my center is in a horrible spot...but I don't really have a choice except to turn it off when I need to)
