Well impressed
Bought for use with Eve Audio SC203 monitoring system. Despite overwhelmingly positive reviews i remained sceptical it would please me as a bottom end for casual listening and monitoring sound. Pleased to say this is a tremendous value for money unit - £130 vs £460 for the Eve TS107.
While i don't have direct comparison to more expensive studio grade subs as a casual listener/producer it is more than enough. Has a clean, punchy bass response which perfectly suits smaller monitoring systems such as Eve SC203. Without it I was missing a lot of low end, SC203 has surprising bass but little impact. Upon firing up the SUBmini sound immediately became much fuller. In my situation it sounds best with phase inverted (brings a warmer, bassier response) and volume around half way, though your mileage may vary.
So to conclude this is perfect for smaller monitoring set-ups where super deep lows and loud listening volumes are not a requirement. Clean sound and very well made unit for the money.

Excellent value for money.
I've got not long ago, and it sound rather impressive.
I wanted a sub I could transport and that could work with my Genelec 6010.
They were ment to play together.
You can select the frequency cut, witch is very useful.
The sound is good, but you'll get much better results if you decouple the sub from the ground. You can do so by getting some of these triangular spikes.
Overall very good value for money!

All the features you'd want for the price, plus good sound quality
My requirement was to pair a sub with the PM04 Fostex monitors. The SUBmini2 handles the job very well. The bass is tight and sounds precise, no more power is needed for desktop monitoring, and the controls are unmatched for the price range. The frequency cut-off works fine, and you also get a phase inversion switch and a volume level control. The auto-standby feature is also very useful, in that it does not affect the connected monitors i.e. no popping sound is transmitted to them, and its sensitivity is enough to keep the sub on in relatively low volume levels.
As drawbacks, I may note the lack of balanced input/output connections, and the bright blue light when the sub is on, which may annoy some if placed on eye level.
In total, I'd recommend the subwoofer to pair small studio monitors and limited studio space, thanks to its plentiful and well-implemented features and sound quality for its price range.

Fostex PM-SUBmini 2
Fostex PM-SUBmini 2 is a great mini sub for those who lacks space and need something to complete the sound of their speakers. Although a bit pricey, it offers good build quality and great sound for its size.
5 stars from me.
pros - sound great (for size) , build quality
cons- bit pricey

Perfect Sub with Eve audio SC203
My monitors found the perfect light SUB mate to complete ensure a good low frequencies response.
For bedroom/home production, that's quite enough power.
I am very happy to have this quality of sound for such low price.
Also, in terms of portability, it's not too complicated compared to bigger ones.
Only a protection over the speaker would have pleased me.

Amazing little thing
Didn't believe that 5' can make such good sound. Of course, it's hasn't the breathtaking low frequensys like it's "bigger brothers" But it fits almost anywhere. It's a perfect thing when you need a sub, but don't have the place for it...

Invisible but not for bassheads
Not so powerful, not so deep as ordinar subs with phase inverter.
With my 4" Focal Shape 40 monitors its "invisible" in system but adds much dimensions, atmosphere and naturality in sound. Stays on table near monitor.
Very good for price. Pretty fast bass and deep enought for listening even club music (not very loud). Dance effect significantly presents due to fast beats. And this beats very good for this little box!
Crossover has no effect for output jacks. In my system sub connected to another output of sound interface than monitors.

I like em,they are great! they are quality!
They add that bass that you need down to 40hz, it's great for mixing/mastering/production/movies/other purposes, I added these to my small Fostex PMO 3's, perfect fit for each other, and looks amazing together,
The subwoofer is great! no coloring sound, doesn't sound boxy or cheap. it's a great addition to any small room with small speakers that doesn't provide enough bass

Great Little Sub
Used in a small home set up, contestability and sound are fine (paired with 2 Alesis Elevate 5 MK2)
The price for the quality and sound is fantastic highly recommended for the small home studio
