My first home theater subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far , so good. Setup was easy, and operating it was very easy. My only points of improvement would be; * Give an option to get a much longer connection cable; * Make it easier to find the manual. Great Product, look forward to using it more.

Beautiful Subwoofer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My new Sony receiver was not compatible with my older subwoofer, so I purchased this and it's a dream. Powerful, great bass tones, overall I am very happy with this. I plan to get another one since my new receiver supports 2 subwoofers!

Woof woof
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m familiar with the Sony line of speakers. I had previously bought a Sony subwoofer and set of bookshelf speakers several years ago. Same sized sub as this one. Only difference is this is seems to be a little less powered. While it has great bass and response and is a great product and prices right, the older one seemed to be a wee bit better. But that could’ve just been because it was already broken in and this new one wasn’t. Having been 6 months, this newer sub is sounding incredible. More bass depth than my old Sony sub. Better priced too! I still kick myself for not buying a second one.

Location location
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can’t stress enough on how important it is to find the right location for a subwoofer. This one if you have it in a bad spot you will barely notice any kind affect. But once you find that sweet spot this sub will boom! You won’t regret the purchase! Great product. If I had any complaints it’s that the switches on the back aren’t so hard to read. You’ll need a flashlight or direct sun to know what’s what. But once you learn em it won’t be an issue.

Bring in the Bass!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this speaker brings the bass needed for that movie theater feel and doesn’t take up a bunch of space. Comes with a built in amplifier and cross over to tune the speaker.

Great for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy this subwoofer so much I bought two almost a year apart from each other. Not as a replacement but to add to the already considerable power of my system. Good range, clarity, and power, for a reasonable price.

It's a little thumper
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this in June of 2022 so I had it for over a year. Been using it to add some bottom in our outdoor space. It's been under an enclosed wicker chair that sits under a canopy and is still going strong even though it's not designed for outdoor use. I have small rubber feet under it to keep it off the ground. I was surprised how good it sounds. Can't go wrong for the money.

Sony subwoofer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was less than $100, and I have it set up in a small room. My new receiver can only power a subwoofer with a single coax type cable. It sounds great, and not to big.

Excellent Subwoofer for the money
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good sounding subwoofer and a great bargain as well. This Sony replaced an old Paradigm sub I've had for years. The build quality looks very good, typical of a Sony product. A couple items I'm going to nit pick though. It takes a little longer then I would like to wake it up in the auto mode. I have to crank up the volume on my amplifier right away to wake up or the music plays with no sub for a bit. I think another reviewer mentioned this as well. Next the wire connectors for the Speaker in/out are too small. Heavy gauged wire is not going to work. As stated these are nit picks. I'd give 5 stars if it weren't for these minor issues. Don't hesitate to purchase at this price point.
