    This subwoofer was the perfect addition to my Sony HT-A7000 sound bar. I finally feel like I’m filling the room the way I had hoped for. It’s sound is resonant enough to fill my room without cracking, or bleeding into the apartments around me. Definitely worth the box. (Especially with its open box price)
