    This is a great subwoofer when it works, except that it no longer powers on after just two weeks. After a bunch of online reading, I discovered a lot of other people had the same problem with this model. Thankfully, I bought a protection plan so hopefully the next one will work. Full disclosure, this was a Best Buy open box purchase. It was considered excellent condition, but perhaps it was returned for this reason.

    This woofer packs a ton of bang for the buck. Sure, it’s not the big expensive monster but in my home, we have a rather large living room and it fills the space so well! We’ve moved it to the other side of our living room and into our dining room and it fills the entire space! While paired with the Sony A-7000 and rs3s speakers, this subwoofer turns any moderate home into an immersive theater’

    Unless you have a large room, this 200W Subwoofer will be plenty of power. Connected easily to my HT-A7000 sound bar. Actual power usage is 40Watts or less at lower volume levels.

    This subwoofer is OK, but under powered. It needs more bass rumble and is over priced. Quality is good and it merges nicely with the Sony soundbar. The overall sound quality is good though.
