Amazon.com Product Description

Recognizing that a subwoofer can make or break a home theater system, Athena introduces its AS-P6000 12-inch powered model, which ushers in a new era of performance and value. The sub features Athena's exclusive SCT rotary control, which makes it incredibly easy to integrate the AS-P6000 with Athena surround speakers. Simply match the model number of your Athena front speakers with the markings on the sub's dial, turn up the volume, and enjoy. Even in small rooms, the sub's rich, powerful low-frequency reproduction draws out the full impact and realism of modern movie soundtracks.

The AS-P6000 sports a down-firing 12-inch injection-molded cone woofer with dual ports and a built-in 800-watt amplifier designed by BASH Audio. The down-firing woofer allows for flexible room placement and the highest possible efficiency, while the dual vents work together to improve performance and reduce unwanted vent noise. And because the woofer faces down, it's safe from both prying hands and curious paws. More importantly, the injection-molded woofer cone is comprised of a composite, multi-laminate material designed to stay rigid during the most extreme excursion. At the same time, it's light enough to enable fast movement, ensuring an accurate and tight bass response.

In addition, the volume control is conveniently located on the front of the unit, making it quick and easy to adjust the volume. Other features include an auto on/off system that senses signals from the receiver and activates the sub accordingly, a bypass circuit that leaves the sub on at all times or turns it off completely, and a frequency response of 21 to 120 Hz. The AS-P6000--which is recommended for rooms sized 400 square feet or larger--sports a black finish and measures 13.3 by 19.5 by 20.5 inches (W x H x D). The woofer is also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Nice while it lasted........2007-08-23

Worked really great for 372 days, then it died.

At first I thought it might be a loose connection since it was buzzing, but no luck on that front. I even swapped to a different cable, reset the receiver setting, etc. but no luck. The auto-detect feature that turns it on when detecting a signal still works (light turns green), but no sound comes out no matter what the volume setting.

Athena SubWoofer AS-P6000, failed in less than 1 year.......2007-08-12

I have a 7.1 all Athena Home Theater system (AS-F2.2 fronts, AS-F1.1 surrounds, AS-C1 center, AS-B1.1 surround backs, and AS-P6000 subwoofer).
Performance wise, I am happy with my system including the subwoofer

Why the 2 stars then?
The subwoofer's amplifier failed about 2 weeks ago, 2 days before the expiration of the 1 year warranty.

I was able to reach an Athena Tech Support Rep by phone without being on hold. He was knowledgeable and pleasant, and referred me to an authorized repair shop in Florida (Simply Speakers), where they were also very responsive. I am still waiting for it but so far the experience dealing with both companies has been positive.

BUT... in the process I've learnt that these amplifiers are prone to failure, and if that is the case, a 1 year warranty is too short. The standard warranty for the other Athena speakers is 5 years. Subwoofers from other brands have longer warranties Velodyne 24 months, Polk 36 months. Boston Acoustics 60 months. JBL 5 years.

I was lucky (if you can call that luck) that it failed before the warranty expired... That still meant spending $60 in shipping and handling, plus being without a subwoofer for what I'd expect to be at least 30 days or more to allow for transit time and repair time.

So, I'd rather be "luckier" and have a unit that does not fail.

If it had failed outside of the warranty period I would have purchased a replacement from one of the other brands mentioned above, instead of sending it for repair, because in such case it would cost $60 S&H to send it, plus another ~$60 S&H to ship it back, plus parts and labor... It's not worth it versus buying a new one.

AS-P6000.......2007-05-08

+'s: The AS-P6000 product is fairly good, Bass response is very good, speaker is decent. Life on the AMP, that is another story. -'s: I'm waiting to see if they back up their product.

AS-P4000 amplifier died .......2007-03-21

My AS-P4000 amplifier fried 1 week before the 1 year warranty was over (thank god). The rest of the components carry a 5 year warranty but I was worried from the day I bought it.

I use the speaker-in inputs as opposed to the line-in because my receiver doesn't have a sub-out (O.K., I know, time for a new receiver). Anyway, I didn't push this thing very hard so was very surprised to discover it wasn't working one day.

I like and own other Athena speakers but probably wouldn't buy another of their subs. In any event, they've been bought out by Klipsch (since Klipsch bought API who owns Athena).

Save Your Money.......2007-02-10

Not impressed. Rarely used and only watched around 10 movies until the amplifier died. The sound was not great either. The subwoofer alone is cheap. Looked at it and laughed. The warranty on this is not good. Be advised. Find a good company with a good warranty. Stay away from this company.

Great bookshelf/surrounds speakers.......2006-08-26

These speakers have great sound for the price. Their frequency range suits them best for surrounds/satelites paired with a subwoofer crossed at 80hz. They are a perfect match for other Advent Heritage series (I also have the H500s, H200s and the Center). Quality contruction with banana plug speaker posts. removable speaker grill for a custom/high-end look. I'd compare these to Athena S.5s in terms of quality and performance.

RE: Don't hold your breath.......2005-01-01

Originally reviewed by Shawn Kresal.

"If you have Windows 2000 don't even think about getting this camera. The drivers do not work and the manufacturer won't support you. Their updated drivers do not work either. However, if you have XP or 95 or 98 you'll be fine; the camera pratically sets itself up in fact. The users manual is ONLY on the CD, nothing except a quick-start guide comes printed. If you can figure out a digital watch, you'll have no trouble with this camera. Despite its shortcomings: no preview window, indoor shots come out very green, the flash doesn't throw more than 6 feet, max resolution is 640x480, ANY amount of jostle distorts the picture, and the 4 second lag - despite all that, this camera has its up side: it can hold a lot of images right out of the box, the battery life is good, and the daylight pictures come out nicely. This is a decent camera for kids or for your online auctions. I will never buy another Argus camera after my experience with this item however."

I am using this camera on a Windows 2000 system and have had no problems at all. It must be a problem with your 2000 installation or you just didn't do something right.

In fact, I have been using this camera for almost 3 years now with very few problems. The only major problem is the video recording. I have never been able to take any working video shots. Aside from that, taking still digital pictures has worked to my expectations of a low priced digital camera. It may not take good pictures in low light levels but when the light is decent, the pictures come out quite well. The webcam feature also has worked for me but that too needs decent light levels.

Battery life has never been to well for me unless I take the batteries out when no images are stored on the camera or I keep it plugged in on a constant running system with the supplied USB cable.

The camera also comes supplied with a video output cord for viewing images on an NTSC or PAL TV and a wrist strap. A CF flash card slot is available on the bottom of the camera. A 32MB CF card can be inserted to upgrade from the built-in 8MB RAM. You will not lose any pictures if the batteries are removed with the CF card inserted.

One not so important feature is tripod mounting. A screw hole on the bottom of the camera makes it possible to mount on any size tripod from a small desktop size for webcam use or a full size tripod used for camcorders and 35mm cameras.

The camera also has two other built-in features. A small curved mirror on the front for taking self portraits and a 5 second timer for getting yourself in on those group photos.

If image quality and bigger selection of features is what you want, then this is not the camera to buy. But if it's economy you're looking for, this would be the camera of choice. Most "economy" type digital cameras do not come with some of the features that are included with this particular model. I have tried a few other "economy" digital cameras and have not had as good of an experience as I have had with the Argus DC2200.

Good ...til you open it..........2004-12-29

So my father-in-law wants a "really simple and easy" digital camera. That worked out good because this camera didnt even work and you can't get any simpler than that! I gave this as a Christmas present if that wasn't bad enough. But, it always feels good to give a broken Christmas gift..its humbling if nothing else. Except I crawled under the couch and stayed there until everyone left because I was so embarrassed. It worked for .025 seconds but by the time I squeeled and threw it up in the air to look at it -it had shut off again. JUNK< JUNK< JUNK! You get what you pay for. Don't waste your life!

Piece of junk.......2003-02-26

At first it seemed ok, despite bad indoor color, blurry images, etc. It was good enough for web thumbnail images, and what do you expect this [cost]? Then a month or so later it started going haywire. Sometimes it would not even turn on. Other times it would turn on, but then shut down as soon as you tried to take a picture. At least I got a USB cable out of the deal. Based on this experience, Argus is the Yugo of digital cameras. Don't waste your time on this...plastic junk.

Don't bother buying!!.......2003-01-15

...P>My brother, who is getting a computer science degree, couldn't even install the software. No matter how great the camera is supposed to take pictures, if you can't even see them, they're still useless.

The actual camera is very, very annoying just taking pictures. First of all, the description completely ignores the fact that it lacks an LCD screen. Second of all, the buttons are small, so that it's rather hard to turn it on when you want to, but they stick out, so it constantly was turning on when i -didn't- want it to. Not to mention the extremely annoying beeping that it makes almost constantly. Two long beeps when it's turned on, a short beep when a picture is taken, another long beep when it's ready to take another picture. Not even soft, quiet beeps. The loud, obnoxious beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep kind of beep. It also turns off after i believe is one minute of not taking a picture. This could be useful if you're only taking one picture, but if you're taking a series of shots, such as on a tour of some sort, you'd have to turn it on again constantly. That wouldn't be such a big deal if not for the obnoxious beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeps every time it turns on.

In conclusion, DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA. It isn't even worth anything for kids or beginners. Buy something that has even some value unless you just want a [$$$] piece of plastic sitting on a shelf forever.

Barely adequate "Brownie...".......2002-12-27

Think of this as your first Kodak Brownie film camera you owned, but with worse picture quality, and you won't be far off. It's OK for as a very first camera for kids (5-year-olds think it's fun), but don't expect it to rock their world... with no LCD screen, much of the fun of digital photography is missing.
