    Deepest bass that I have ever heard , especially from such a small box. Best of all it takes up one quarter the space that my previous unit did.

    When it comes to Sony subwoofers and for an average space the SA-SW3 is the way to go. I have it set with the Bravia 8 soundbar and sounds great in which deep low sounds can be felt along the floor in front and around my seating position.

    This was the perfect addition to our Sony soundbar. The setup was beyond easy - just basically plug it in and synced to the soundbar. It dealivers a deep, rich tone and it can handle a wide variety of bass - from special effects to music, it can handle it all.

    I paired this with the Sony A5000 soundbar and SA-RS5 rear speakers on a Sony XR55 A80L TV. The sound from the soundbar and rear speakers already made some good low end but not floor shaking. My living room isn't large. I'm only about 8 feet from the TV sitting on the couch. My thought was the SA SW5 might be too much. This SA SW3 does add some low end but not as much as I was expecting. It can also get rather boomy sounding. That makes me wish it had an adjustable crossover point like my old Polk Audio sub had. The mid bass is easily handled by the soundbar and rear speakers. For my situation I would only need it to give me 80hz and lower frequencies. So now it makes me think I should have gotten the SA SW5. I would say this SA SW3 would be good if you lived somewhere that would disturb neighbors. If you live in a house though you might want more if you like bass.

      Hi Chris, We appreciate your detailed review and understand your concerns regarding the low-end performance of your Sony SA-SW3. The SA-SW3 is designed to complement smaller spaces and provide a balanced bass experience without overwhelming the room. However, for users who prefer a more powerful bass response, the SA-SW5 might indeed be a better fit, especially in larger living spaces or for those who enjoy a more pronounced bass. Please follow the steps below to improve the bass output:

      -Ensure the subwoofer is placed in an optimal location, preferably near a wall or in a corner, to enhance bass response.
      -Check the settings on your soundbar and make sure the subwoofer level is appropriately adjusted. You can also try different sound modes to see if they enhance the bass.
      -Ensure that your sound system and subwoofer have the latest firmware updates installed, as these can sometimes improve performance.

      If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our product support team through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US. Or email us at [email protected] with the following details:

    I bought this with the Sony HT-A7000 sound bar. I watch the Blu-ray movie Midway. With the bass volume turned all the way up, it rumble our medium size room pretty good. Super easy to set up, only have a power cord to plug in. If you have a larger size room and or like a ton of bass go with more expenses model SW5.
