Infinity BU120 is suck. I bought this unit in the year 2000. After six months this unit always bang bang da pop pop, like a small bomb. No bother I kept using, after 1 year this horror sound bang bang pop happened very often. Finally I decided to repair it. After 4 years the small bomb sound is coming back.. I can’t understand why BU120 is made in Canada but this Sub is so poor. Good looking but no world class sub. I decided to buy B&W 602 s3 loudspeaker to replace my Infinity loudspeaker. Infinity again. SUCKED.
I see the review of B&W602 s3 is good. I went for the AV show 2006 MALAYSIA no Infinity product anymore. Not a bad news after all.

World Class Sub......Äh...not to bust your bubble but you dont get "world class" for little money. Sorry to hear about your troubles, but be more realistic please. In my opinion, Infinity stopped makeing anything good after Arnie Noodle sold it to H/K.

I used that sub for 5 years, with no problems. One issue is the amp is not isolated
from the driver very well, and it's been said there was heating issues. I plugged
mine into the receivers "switched" outlet so it would'nt be on 24/7. For the money,
it's a pretty good entry level sub, you do have to "baby" it, and watch the heating
issue, it will wear it down. As for blowing off all H/K, a very bad plan, You'd be
missing out on ALOT of killer electronics.
