The subwoofer's awesome price, ease of use, and small size are also appreciated. A minor concern is the cable length, with some customers wishing for a longer connection cable option.

    Excellent sub for my system. Replaces the original sub from my JBL 7.1 system that died after 20+ years of use. This is a great match for this system .Had to turn down the total output to not overpower the rest of the system. Nice set of controls to tune it just how needed.

    Such a drastic improvement from 8" Yamaha Subwoofer. I purchased two to immerse myself in the sound. I have to say is great upgrade.

    Great sound with awesome adjustments (gain and frequency). You may need to buy a 2 into 1 RCA cable since there is only one RCA input.

    This unit is of obvious quality, built to last. It's just that I've been spoiled by owning 2 larger subwoofers that delivered a lot more 'punch' (moved a lot more air) than this guy.

    I bought the Sony subwoofer, two towers, and a center speaker in this series during the early Black Friday deals (I already had surround speakers). Definitely worth what I paid for it, and it sounds great! The subwoofer definitely adds to the theatre experience!
