Big Sub

Great but pricey.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this speaker with both the new Sony sound bar and the HTA9 and so far is a great sub. You can tell the dual subwoofer has a balance bass. The connection was very easy with the Sony HTA9. Cons- this subwoofer should come with the corresponding sound bar and not as an add on to a system. The price is a bit high and prohibitive. Overall I am very happy with this sub and have not negatives with the sound quality.

Solid but not spectacular…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sub supplements my Sony HTA-9 system. It works reasonably well, but does not provide the ooomph expected at this price level. Bass is tight, never boomy, and certainly takes the system up a notch or two. Unfortunately I cannot shake the perception that a sub at this price, and physical size (it is big!) should be much more impressive.

Good bass but too expensive
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m upgrading from the SW3 subwoofer and I do see an improvement. I think it’s a little pricey for what I’m getting, but I’m happy to have the deeper and cleaner bass. Good product.

powerful and a must
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Sony 300 watt sub is a must. the power it adds to the sound of a movie is unbelievable. Turned up to 7 it vibrates my chair 9' away. Sony knocked it out of the park with this one. It's very expensive but again, you get what you pay for.

Essential addition for HTA7000 soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Essential accessory for HTA7000 soundbar, really boosts the bass from the system, if you want you can purchase just the soundbar & if you're not satisfied with the low end you add this sub later, it's wireless and setup is very easy, like most speakers it has cloth covering the drivers so beware if you have cats, etc. but you can place it pretty much anywhere in the room.

Great Sound, Easy Setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this sub and the Sony surround system. Sounds like a sub should. Had to pause my TV during a movie rain and thunder scene to make sure it wasn't raining. Felt like the rain and thunder were all around me. Low rumbles and big booms were spot on. Fills a very large open concept room no problem.
