Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the most disappointing electronic purchases i have ever made. Don't waste your money on this. Upgrade or go to pioneer in same or lower cost bracket. Shame on sony.

hard to hook up and aux cord is difficult to use thought itd have more bass

I had to put my ear to the speaker to check if it was on. The to book shelf speakers had more bass. returned immediately.

Didn’t really care for the sound. The base wasn’t clear and it had too much rattle.

Did not work...plugged in and nothing/ I should have known- it was last one in stock

You installed it and your guy couldn’t get it to work.

I am not sure this speaker is working correctly. I had to purchase and install myself.

Don't Waste Your Time With This Sub. This sub is not worth giving away. It's weak and sound TERRIBLE!

This is a great budget-friendly subwoofer. My local Best Buy only had the Polk PSW 108 and Klipsch available to sample, so I couldn’t sample this ahead of purchasing. I liked the Polk, but was unimpressed by the 10” Klipsch comparatively. I ultimately decided to order this Sony, instead, simply because the frequency response was rated lower and it had slightly more wattage than the Polk. It also matches my Sony SS F6000 floor speakers perfectly. I did expect a bit deeper bass with its rated frequency response, but it is plenty adequate and a remarkable improvement over the Boston Acoustics that my receiver came with, which was only rated at 50-170hz and cut out frequently. The Polk PSW 108 at Best Buy did seem to sound better refined than this, but it’s still adequate. Sound quality is actually quite impressive with TV/movies; it’s music (rock, at least) where I think it’s lacking a bit. I found setting the crossover from my receiver at 80hz produced the best overall, and most balanced sound. Anything higher got to be too muddy. Keep this in mind when pairing this to your speakers. I do appreciate being able to turn off the auto-power feature. This prevents the sub from shutting down when there is a period of little-to-no bass sent to it.

Bad set up by Geek Squad. Can’t rate if system does not work.

Not a bad system, but would not buy Sony again after a complete home theater purchase

I I couldn't get it to work something's missing. It's not a cable or nothing like that.

My 15 year old Klipsch finally gave up and I was in the market for a replacement. This Sony had the right power, cost, and size for me. With 2 young kids, I did not want to shell out $500+ for a new subwoofer they may climb on. This one sounds great and looks to be well protected from "outside influences."

I return this product because I could not get it to connect to my Wi-Fi

Recently added a Yamaha YAS-108 sound bar to my system and had been mating it to a BIC F12 sub. My room is hardwood and rugs, 15 x 20. The F12 had awesome house-rattling power, but at lower levels I didn't like the tone of the subtle bass sounds. I just felt like I was using too much sub , and since the wife never liked that thing anyways, I sold it and got the Sony SACS9. It has just the right power and really produces a great range of base for diferent sounds. Very pleasant and I can hear /feel it working a low sound levels. Even the wife is onboard finally. On sale for $99.00 is a no brainer for smaller rooms - or buy 2 for a balanced larger room!

didn't like it as much as the Klipsch and it didn't meet my needs

I bought this subwoofer on a whim after seeing it in my local store. Brought it home and was blown away by the bass this sub puts out. It has clear, punchy, thundering bass. Sounds great with all types of sound, weather it be music, movies, or games it's consistent on all forms. Only thing I don't like about it is the price, it's a little steep for your average stereo user. But when you plug it in, and turn it up, you'll forget all about the price. I'm a slight audiophile, I have to have good bass with everything I listen to, and this delivers! I can hear the bass outside of my house when playing music, absolutely awesome. I also noticed there aren't many reviews on this sub since it's one of Sony's newer products, but if you're looking for great bass while being easy to use, I recommend this for sure you won't be disappointed.

Great inexpensive sub. Added just the right amount of rumble to my home theater. Great sound for music as well. Easy set up.

I bought all new Sony speakers for my new systems including this sub to replace a older home theatre system I had. The bass from this sub compared to my older 8" sub was bigger but much more punchy and solid as well. This sub alone has made listening to movies and music better as I have more precise hits and less of the boomy / distorted sound when pushed hard like my old one. I have a older model Sony powersub I use in a game room and this one is a upgrade from that even. For the money, this is a great value and I plan on getting a second one to compliment the system. The only gripe might have is I feel like the audio cable supplied for connecting to receiver could have been a foot or two longer as not everyone wants to place their sub 4 -5 ft from their receiver. Lastly, some reviewers noted they had to fiddle around with the settings to make it sound good. I'm not a audio expert but out of the box the volume is dialed to the lowest and I put mine at 75% mark and it is the sweet spot for me. I tweaked my subwoofer settings inside the receiver itself and this is something you may have to play around with to see what works best for you. This is a great sub you really can't pass up for the quality vs price you get.

I just upgraded to the sony sacs9 from polk psw10. I really consider it an upgrade, firstly because the polk is rated at 50W RMS and this is at 115W RMS, so its more than double the power. Power is not the only thing that makes a good speaker, this has got nice tight punchy bass and not boomy at all. The polk used to get too boomy once i raise the volume to a certain level. Go get this one and you wonr regret. i got it at 99.99$ when it was on sale
