    Not bad but for pairing with the big Bravia theater bar the 500 sub blows this away. It’s worth a try to see if it fits your application, and Best Buy is great to deal with as far as returning products. Give it a try and see if it works and if you need to upgrade go for the 500, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed with that one.

      Hi ErikM, Thank you for your review and feedback on the SASW3 subwoofer. We appreciate your insights and are glad to hear that you found it worth trying. The SASW3 is designed to deliver deep bass and enhance your home theater experience, especially when paired with compatible Sony soundbars. However, we understand that for some users, the SASW5 subwoofer might offer a more powerful performance, particularly when paired with larger setups like the Bravia theater bar. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

      Hi TOJC, Thanks for sharing your feedback. While we're glad that you like the sound quality, we're sad that you are not impressed with the loudness or sound level of the speaker. To increase the volume, press the SW + or BASS + on the remote control of a compatible model to increase the subwoofer
      volume. In most cases, if the input sources contain very little bass sound
      components (i.e., a TV broadcast), the sound from
      the subwoofer may be difficult to hear. You can
      check the subwoofer sound by emitting the test
      tone. Hope this helps. Regards and thanks for choosing Sony. -Craig Sony_US

      Hi Tony,

      You made the right choice with the Sony SASW3! We hope that the 200 watts of power is successfully filling your room with deep, rich bass. Make sure to run Sound Field Optimization through your paired A-Series audio system so that the subwoofer calibrates its performance to the surrounding environment. Thank you for choosing Sony!
