    Was a replacement for a Definitive sub for home AV. Works fine, plug and play, adjustments in back. Got it on sale.

    This has been operating very well and fit perfectly into my rather compact cabinet. I had it installed by the Geek Squad, and it didn't take very long so it's probably fairly easy for someone more comfortable around electronics than I am.

    Yeah your going to get a noise complaint if you even dare use this in a apartment. Gets pretty deep and the driver is high quality as well. No stereo inputs is a little unfortunate to see though. It’s a bit disappointing to see Sony using older amp technology. Power efficiency of stuff is important where I live and it does produce some heat at the back when it’s active. It does have auto signal power fortunately.
