    Great price for a good budget subwoofer. Got it on sale and it brought some needed punch to my stereo system and home theater.

    Based upon other reviews, I choose this Sony subwoofer to replace another that just stopped working. This one works, not that great of sound, but when bass notes are available, this woofer amplifies them enough.

    If you can catch it on sale, it’s comparable to others in the price range. However, if your looking for room-filling bass as part of upgrading your home theater system, this may only be a marginal improvement over a home theater in a box.

    I wanted a cheap sub and that’s what I got. Really no complaints but don’t expect ground shaking performance. This will easily compliment any sound system but you’re not going to shake the down the house.

    The Sony subwoofer pairs nice with the core series tower speaker system. Bass isn't thunderous, but gets the job done for small areas.

    No complaints. It's a subwoofer. It works. I suppose some onboard control for volume might help. But otherwise it's as advertised.
