    Instructions were not obvious to sinc it up to tv and sound bar. Heard it in the store. Should be a great improvement for movies.

    I just installed four of these (two are R/L and two are wired into my center channel because I don't have room for one below the TV). I wasn't looking to rattle the windows -- I just wanted a better sound than my new TV was giving me and this worked very well. It sounds great!

    This sub works perfectly within the Sony ecosystem of their Sounds bars and rear speakers. I use with a Sony Hta-5000 and it's fantastic. Sub volume goes up to 12, but I only need to put it at 3. I live in an apartment and the bass is perfect for a medium sized living room.

    The HT-A5000 alone does provide pretty good surround/immersion experience...As long as you have a small/symmetrical room. It was great in our bedroom with clear dialog, but not so much in our open family. The A5000 with the SW3 did add a punch on the lower end, but that's it. May be the additional wireless surround speakers (RS3S) can over come that issue.

    This thing is a bit of a joke, actually. Maybe it would work okay if your room is the size of a closet. In my living room, it sounded like a toy. I returned it promptly and got one with real RMS wattage. Now it feels like we are having an earthquake!
