Much fuller sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had not realized what I was missing with the old smaller subwoofer we had. After installing this Sony to accompany our other bookshelf speakers we noticed how much fuller and stronger the sound was. Good buy for the money.

Awesome Subwoofer!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great bass, adjustable for as thunderous or soft as you like. It really fills the room. Ours is paired with the Center Speaker, 2 floor speakers, 2 bookshelf speakers & Onkyo TS NR 686 receiver for an outstanding 5.1 system!!
I would recommend this to a friend Well-made, great sounding, sub.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great, well-made, sub. There is a plastic "rear end" on this that isn't quite on the level of build quality of the rest of the unit, but it's not too bad and certainly not a "deal breaker." The only real negative regarding this sub is the short cord included for hook-up. I already had an extension for my previous sub, so that wasn't a big deal, but it should come with a longer cord for those who need it. I would like to eventually get 2 of these for the power and sound my picky ears desire, but 1 is enough for now. I have a fairly large set-up.

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these as part of a package with the rest of the Sony core series line. I’m pretty impressed. To get an entire dedicated 5.2.2 atmos home theatre for around $1,600 is a no brained if trying to decide between something like this and a high end sound bar.

Underwhelming Sub Woofer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this product - it was quality built. The only issue was when I played it next to my existing Polk Audio sub - it didn’t have the same punch. Tried it a different levels, different movies/sound tracks, etc. Honestly - I was underwhelmed. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t soMething I was doing wrong so I utilized they “chat” support at Best Buy. Impossible to get them on the phone. Spent 2 hours - was disconnected twice and the answer I finally received was that it had softer lows. Anyway- I am a long time Best Buy customer. This wasn’t a great experience. The Sony subwoofer wasn’t right for me.

Perfect for 800 ft living room!

Great Entry Sub
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great entry level subwoofer. It definitely fills my man cave with the deep lows I've been looking for. If you just want to get a sub that's not too expensive this definitely will hold you over. I would definitely buy this again.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While it's not as crisp as my 10" Klipsch this packs enough of a punch to make photos on the wall in the other room rattle even when it's not cranked to the max.

Good complement. Don't use it too loud
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can't beat it for the price. That being said, this is a good complement to your system. As a complement to the bass your speakers provide, it is great. Pumping this sub up too high isn't enjoyable. But when this this is over 50% off, it is a great deal. Just isn't the sub for me.

Great bass sound in a small footprint
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I previously had a larger name brand sub, but this Sony produces better low frequency sound that you can feel. My only complaint is the auto on/off, which frequently and with an audible sound, turns the sub on and off. It became annoying, since it would cycle every few minutes when the sound level in a movie decreased.
