    I got this to pair up with my Sony HT-A5000 sound bar to make it a 5.2.2 sound system. The soundbar already has a small internal subwoofer that is pretty good, but with the SA-SW3 it turns a 7.5/10 bass quality into a 20/10 bass quality. It really kicks up the deep impacting bass from movies and games. The set up is easy just plug it in and push the power button, once the light turns green it's paired. I like it and am happy to have it as part of my home theater.

      Hi JohnG,

      We are excited to hear that the SA-SW3 is bringing that authentic movie theater rumble right into your home!

      There is nothing quite like feeling the vibrations of a deep bassline or a powerful cinematic explosion to truly pull you into the story. We engineered this subwoofer to deliver tight, impactful low frequencies that add a physical dimension to your audio. Knowing that it’s providing that immersive "theater feeling" you were looking for is exactly what we love to hear.

      Thank you for trusting Sony to bring the theater experience to your living room!

      Hi AnnK,

      Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that the SA-SW3 is bringing that authentic theater energy into your home for movies and big game days.

      This subwoofer is designed specifically to fill in the 'gaps' that standard speakers can't reach. By adding 200W of deep bass, it allows your main soundbar to focus more on clear dialogue and high-frequency details, while the sub handles the heavy lifting of rumbling explosions or the roar of a stadium crowd.

      Because it uses a 160mm driver and a specialized Sigma Magnetic Circuit, you get deep, punchy bass without the distortion that often comes with high volumes. Plus, the wireless connectivity ensures that the sound remains perfectly synced with your screen, so you never miss a beat of the action.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    For its size this packs a nice punch but is well damped and controlled. I haven't tested its low frequency extension but I would guess it can dip down to 32hz or so. In any case it adds a ton to my HT-A5000 soundbar.

      Hi BrandonZ,

      We are really sorry if the bass sound of our SA-SW3 subwoofer didn't live up to your expectations. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. To ensure that you are getting the most out of your soundbar, make sure to run Sound Field Optimization so that the soundbar can calibrate its performance to your environment, and that it sounds like it was engineered to be in your room.

      For the bass sound quality, this usually depends on the size of the listening room, and the location that the subwoofer is placed in the room. To enhance your overall bass sound listening experience, follow the steps below:

      • Press SW volume + or BASS + on the remote control of a compatible model to increase the subwoofer volume.
      • Set the night mode to off. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with a compatible model.
      • 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.
      For your reference, please visit the links below if there is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the subwoofer.

      Hi JiawuWang, We're sorry to hear about the connectivity issue you're having. To resolve the issue of your SASW3 subwoofer being unable to pair with your soundbar, please follow these steps:

      Ensure Compatibility: Verify that your soundbar model is compatible with the SASW3 subwoofer. The SASW3 is designed to work with specific Sony soundbars, such as the HT-A8000/A9000/A9M2/A9/A7000/A5000/A3000/S2000 models.

      Update Firmware: Make sure that the firmware of your soundbar is up to date. Please refer to the help guide/manual of your soundbar on how to update the firmware.

      Manual Pairing: If automatic pairing does not work, try manual pairing. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on how to manually pair the subwoofer with your soundbar.

      Interference: Ensure there are no other wireless devices nearby that could interfere with the Bluetooth connection.

      Reset Devices: If pairing issues persist, try resetting the soundbar to its factory settings and then attempt the pairing process again.

      If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Sony customer support for further assistance. Email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
