    Seems very well built. Outputs nicely, but as a condo dweller, I am not sure it does me much good unless at higher volumes. Still testing within my return period. I did buy the rear surrounds and feel those are worth it.

      Hi Barks, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review of your SASW3. We're glad you like the excellent built quality and powerful bass output this unit delivers. I would recommend following the steps below to improve your overall listening experience: Press SW volume + or BASS + on the remote control of a soundbar to increase the subwoofer volume. Set the night mode to off using the remote control of your soundbar. 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!

      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! -Sam Sony_US

    I bought this item to go with the Theater 8 soundbar, but it could not fill the large room enough to satisfy my listening demands. I have a wired sub-woofer, s I will need to look into replacing my receiver.

      Hi GuyR,
      Thanks for the feedback. We’re really sorry the SA-SW3 didn’t provide the deep impact you were looking for in your large space.
      We completely understand if you decide to go the receiver route to use your existing gear.

      We appreciate you giving Sony a chance with this product.
      Warm regards,
