    Just recently got this to add to my a7000 soundbar and received an extra $100 off. This sub is expensive but totally worth the price if you have a bigger room and if you have a small room the sw3 will work well. Overall I’m very satisfied with this sub as it took my a7000 to another level!! Great product from Sony and Best Buy

    Download the app to pair subwoofer and soundbar

    Paid for Geek Squad service to set the subwoofer up. It took them three times out to my home over a two week timeframe. I also had to return the subwoofer twice because each time I was told my soundbar didn’t go with the subwoofer. Even though it stated on Bestbuys website. It was a third party vendor that let us know an app called Bravia connect need to be downloaded so the soundbar and subwoofer could pair. No one apologized for all the time I spent driving back and forth

    I bought this sub with atmos surround speakers, and the combined ability is a knockout punch. The sub is small, but the bass is loud. I did turn the bass up about 80% on the decoder, but the bass is powerful and clean at the right points in movies and music. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend to complete your surround sound setup.

      Hi KarlR, That's great to hear. We're also pleased that you like the sound quality and ease of setup. 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! Erin Sony_US

    I pair this subwoofer with Sony HT A9. The pairing process was flawless. I just connect both to the power supply, and they sync. I am not a sound expert or anything, but I think the bass from the subwoofer is very good. It can shake my room if I want it to.
