      Hi David,
      Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're glad to hear you are enjoying the great sound and easy connection with your SA-SW5 subwoofer. However, we are sorry if you feel that it is a little bit weak when watching movies. 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. Calibrating the speaker system using the sound field optimization and experiment with different sound modes to find the one that you like best may also help improved the sound. You may also select the "Cinema Mode " designed to provide a more immersive experience when watching movies.

      Should you need further assistance, feel free to contact us by sending an email to socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following:

    I purchased this subwoofer to replace an older subwoofer that I was using in my surround sound system. The subwoofer offer excellent bass sound with clarity and definition. Auto power off is an added plus as my old one needed manual turn on/off. Thoroughly pleased with the purchase and delivery Best Buy.

    This sub woofer is….meh. The price is exorbitant for the level of bass it provides. I have it paired with the ht-a9 and it’s not great. You can definitley tell that there’s additional bass vs. without it but for $700, I would expect to get more from it. I do like that it pairs relatively easily and that it’s wireless. This is a MUST buy if you have a Sony soundbar or ht-a9. It’s unfortunate that you cant add two of these to a system because although they’re over priced, you just need more punch that one alone doesnt provode.
