It's a dedicated low frequency reproducer, usually has its own amplifier, that you can hook up to your system. Do a search on its working principle to see if it makes sense to you. The reason I recommend it is that your "bookshelf" speakers (reads: small) cannot reproduce real deep bass, although they can offer just a hint of it to kind of "fool" you into thinking that it's there. The most difficult part about its setup is blending, this will take time, and this is part of the fun, to play with. It has level control, crossover frequency in Hz, usually 50 to 120, a phase switch, to compensate for the distance between it and main speakers, it likes corner placement, where it can double in output w/o distortion from overdrive (low frequency takes lot of power to reproduce) A big side benefit is that depend on how you set it up, it can UNLOAD this burden from your small bookshelf system, allowing it to play cleaner and louder w/ the same wattage that your existing amp can provide. This hookup requires feeding your transporter output > sub > amp > your speakers, taking advantage of the low / high pass filters from the sub. Read up on it, then experiment, you will be pleasantly surprised. Many people says this upgrade gives the best bang for the buck.
