    Great subwoofer shakes the room. Movies are more fun to watch with subwoofer. We also got the 13 speaker front speaker. I recommend you get both worth every penny.

    Powerhouse! - Far superior than SW3 200

    Powerhouse! - Far superior than SW3 200w. I barely get to use it to it's full potential. If you are buying this stand-alone, its double the price of SW3. But, buying it along with compatible home-theater systems, than the difference between this and the SW3 could be less than $300 depending on bestbuy combo offers.

      Hi Itachi102938, Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're glad to hear you appreciate the deep, stable bass of our SASW5 that is enough throughout your listening environment. Your assessment is spot on! With 300 W of deep bass sound from a powerful 180 mm driver and passive radiator, this subwoofer boosts the impact of everything you watch and listen to. Enjoy booming explosions and the deepest beats you’ve ever heard without distortion. You’ll also hear clearer voices and extra fidelity for truly authentic soundtracks. Our Home Theatre System, soundbar and optional speakers have been designed under a common Omnidirectional Block concept. The design of the SA-SW5 is a perfect match for these systems. Its sophisticated rounded edges represent a single solid block providing wide-spreading sound. The combination of rich material textures emphasizes an affinity with any living room environment. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    I purchased this subwoofer along with hundreds of dollars of other compatible components- Bravia TV and soundbar- and paid to have the geek squad install everything. It worked when they were here. I just moved into my home and it was set up on temporary furniture. I had to unplug the subwoofer when the furniture arrived and it never connected to the soundbar again. I called Best Buy and was told they couldn’t help because I didn’t pay for the extra care. I called within 2 weeks of the install and this is how they treat customers. The product still doesn’t connect although I’ve spent hours trying everything over and over. I have an actual life and demanding job so I now find myself almost a year later and still have an $800+ brick in my living room. Best Buy does not stand by their products or services. You have been warned.
