    Great sub. I replaced my Boes 700 sub with the Sony and have no regrets. Paired up easily with the Sony A7000 soundbar. Great deep rich bass that fills the entire room. Finally have the home theater sound I was looking for.

    If you have the HTA7000 this is what you need. This sub pairs seamlessly with the HTA7000 literally you just need to plug it in and the soundbar will pair with it and calibrate it. It has a nice premium look to it as well.

    Not too heavy and decent bass presence for a woofer this size. Easy to integrate into the HT-A9 system, purchased open box with zero missing parts or damage.

      Hi Fromill, You definitely made the right choice! Thank you for taking the time to write such an awesome review of your experience with your SA-SW5 Optional powerful 300W wireless subwoofer. We're extremely pleased to hear you are happy with your purchase! We also agreed that this wireless subwoofer is a great addition to your Sony Audio system and that it immerses you even deeper into movies and music with its clear, thumping bass and subtle low frequency sounds. Boost the bass of your Sony HT-A9 home theater system, HT-A7000, HT-A5000, HT-A3000, or HT-S2000 soundbar with the Sony SA-SW5 300 Wireless Subwoofer. It connects to your soundbar or system wirelessly for a quick, easy setup. The subwoofer uses Separated Notch Edge technology to control the stress along the edge of the driver's surround to allow for uniform resonance of the driver, delivering clearer bass sound. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US
