      Hi JamesB,

      That's great! We're glad to hear the speaker works well. You’re going to love the room filling sound that Mica-Reinforced drivers can deliver. You’ll experience deeper, more precise bass reproduction than ever before and be amazing as your music and movies come alive! Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Easy set up, only I did not know that until I put a dvd into the blue ray player and accidently felt the base with my hand. I just needed to turn up the volume for the speaker. Sounds great.

      Hi MathewB, Amazing! We're glad you like the ease of setup and it works great with your surround sound system. 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.

    I moved into a new house and needed to get the three front speakers and a sub to complete the home theater system. For the money I think you'd be hard pressed to find a sub that out performs this one.

    Clean sound, decent bass and does what is supposed to in its price range. I would though if you can spend more have other suggestions and believe the sub-woofer in a home theater setting is where you will get the most bang for your buck.
