    Picked this up to accompany my ole Sony x930c. I have to admit, this is a nice subwoofer for the price. In our movie room we have two Klipsch 12"ers so I wasn't expecting much from this little guy. BUT BOOM!!! This Sony sub has a nice low end and can be fine tuned with the dials on the rear. I actually have to turn down the gain quite a bit. Paired with my XBR TV speakers I am in heaven. Thank you again Sony for an amazing product! :)

      Hello SONDRA,

      Fantastic! We are extremely pleased to hear you are satisfied with the outstanding sound quality of our SA-CS9 115W 10” Active Subwoofer. To turn up the bass sound/volume, you will need to turn the LEVEL clockwise of the subwoofer. You may also find different sources will perform better than others due to different types of audio compression and transmission. We greatly appreciate your feedback.

      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 amazed as your music and movies come alive!
