    It was an open box item so there weren't instructions and the outside was a little scuffed but that's to be expected. This is a great subwoofer and it pairs perfectly to the Sony sound bar and rear speakers. If I did have a complaint it's that I had to manually pair the sub.

    A must! If you have the HT-A9 set up. I can't imagine the system without it. The bass is not accurate and a little boomy for my taste but it's not harsh if that makes any sense. It complements the HT-A9 well. I have it set to volume 6, which seems to pair well with my layout. Any higher and it gets boomy. It looks nice and at least it comes in black unlike the HT-A9, just wish for a bit more accuracy in the bass department. Btw, if you want to reduce some of the boominess place them on a sound absorber for a bit more accuracy.

    If you have a Sony HT-A5000 or other soundbar, the SW5 is well worth the money. It expands the sound stage dramatically compared to relying on the subwoofer base. I originally got the SW3 and ended up returning it because it did not sound good at all. You will be much happier spending the extra money for the SW5.

    A necessity if you have the soundbar. It's subtle and punchy when it needs to be. Way too expensive though. My old 400W Klipsch was bigger and better and half the price. But still, for the sound experience? Get it.

    Just upgraded to the 7000 from the 5000. The previous came with the subwoofer, i can see why this one is sold seperatwly. Thunderous bass explodes from this fairly small box! I especially enjoy it while listening to tracks as it reproduces low ends very well for a wireless sub. Great pirchase!
