Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Core Series 10" 115W Active Subwoofer, particularly praising its great sound quality and powerful bass. 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.

      Hi Movieguy, we're glad you like the sound quality of our product. 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
