    When you look up reviews for this sub, people talk about the “Frequency range” of this sub, and that it doesn’t sound loud. Well, I can tell you for both music and movies it’s perfect. I did notice that it needs some break in time. It will get louder with time.

    It isn’t powerful enough to get the lower base tones at moderate volumes. It does add some bass back that sounded lacking from the hta9 system, but it feels like it doesn’t add enough (even when fully maxed out).

      Thank you for your detailed feedback, Randmprson.

      We are so sorry to hear that the SA-SW5 subwoofer is not providing the powerful low-bass tones you were expecting with your HT-A9 system, even when fully maxed out. This is certainly not the rich and immersive audio experience we aim to deliver.

      The SA-SW5 is designed to provide powerful, deep bass to complement our systems, and we apologize that it is not meeting your expectations. We highly recommend checking your system settings to ensure the subwoofer is properly configured and that all levels are optimized. Our support team is also a great resource for troubleshooting and can guide you through specific settings to help you achieve the best possible performance.

      Thank you again for your valuable feedback and for being a Sony customer.

      Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team Sony_US
