    My father has a Vizio soundbar, and it does great for increasing voice volume, but it was definitely lacking when he listened to his music. Luckily there was a subwoofer port so we bought him this Sony sub and it does an amazing job of adding bass to everything he watches and listens to

    I was setting up a man cave and had a great Sony receiver along with a New Samsung TV. I also had awesome speakers that gave me great sound...but I was missing something. I needed the BASS. This subwoofer is awesome and has completed my man cave....except for putting beer in the fridge...I have a perfect man cave!!!

    So many decisions between the products but settled on this. Works great for our movie nights. The rumble effects bring your movies to life. Had to turn it down so it wasn’t too much for my daughter with special needs. Would definitely recommend this to all.

    I was looking for a new subwoofer for the TV and sound system on the first floor. These were perfect match to my Sony 1080 Receiver and Sony Master Series A9G tv. The sound is incredible ! The directions on how to configure the subwoofer with the receiver could be better.

    This is a great value for such a tight and punchy sound in a smaller package. Sure it does not deliver the kinda of bass that the much larger higher end subs do but for casual movie watching and music it is perfect. Works perfectly in a living room set up. Recommended!!

    Great Sound for a reasonable price. I had to replace a subwoofer and did not need one that cost more than the new receiver I purchased. I located this one and gave it a shot. It has adjustments some of the lower priced models do not have and the auto power feature is nice so you don't have to turn it on and off all the time.

    This sub makes a tremendous addition to my system. It makes the sound full bodied. Almost like the performers are actually close by. Never realized how this item improves the music as much as it does till I hooked it up, played a song and then turned the sub off. It's like listening to music through awesome head phones. Can't say enough.

      Hi Kman37, we're glad you love our product. The SA-CS9 gives you deep, rich bass from this powerful active subwoofer, and it includes a built-in amplifier with up to 115 W power output. The unit is powerful and compact, perfect for easy installation in tight spots. Because of the reduced baffle area, the speaker minimizes sound field distortion for optimum clarity and precision. Thank you for choosing SONY. ~Earl Sony_US
