    I've had this sub along with the ht-a5000 and rs3s. It's a fantastic setup. The sound is crisp and clear. If I'm listening to music and really want to try and get up the sound is perfect. I've moved everything to a few different rooms now and the wireless set up only takes a couple minutes.

      Hi JoshuaG,

      That is absolutely fantastic feedback! Thank you for the 5-star review and for sharing your experience with the SA-SW3 Wireless Subwoofer as part of your complete home theater system.

      We're very glad to hear you're enjoying the setup with the HT-A5000 and the SA-RS3S rear speakers. The SA-SW3 is designed to integrate seamlessly, adding a powerful, deep bass foundation while maintaining that crisp and clear overall sound quality you described.

      It’s great to know the system delivers perfectly, whether you're listening to music or fully immersing yourself in a movie.

      Enjoy the powerful, clear audio! Thank you for choosing Sony.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    Much needed subwoofer for the Sony HTA5000!

    I bought this with my Sony HTA5000 sound bar! The Sony HTA5000 does have a subwoofer built in, but I strongly recommend buying the standalone subwoofer. It adds the deeper sound the bar itself cannot quite hit. There are two options available for the HTA5000; this one and a 300 watt. I bought this one because my space is smaller and the bigger version would probably be too much. This subwoofer maintains Sony's high quality standards!

    I added tge smaller Sony Subwoofer to my Sony Siund Bar! Wow! Sony certainly has made an efgort to enhance the sound in (different) sized rooms amazingly clear & even my wife was happy! (She was worried that the sub would make the sound too loud & booming …!) Ots been perfect! Love it!! Makes the room the best one to watch a show, movie, sports, etc! We’ve VERY happy! Ill add that the hardest part was conbecting the sub to the sound bar. Yet Sony support over tve phone was also very good & helpful! Sony rules in this house!

    Pairs seamlessly and adds the bass you need. This isn't going to punch you in the chest. But it fills in low end that your soundbar won't hit.

    I read all the reviews and was tempted to buy the bigger SWS5 unit. I bought this unit because I live in an apartment. I found out that this was the right decision. Out of respect for my neighbors I routinely have to turn the volume down as this puts out quite a bit of sound. Hooked up seamlessly and I have no issues with keeping it connected.
