    Live this wireless sub. It sounds nice but put it near a traditional wood stud wall and floor. I put it on a concrete floor near a wall of windows and it didn't have a strong of impact as i desire. I got it in a package on a sale for 399. Well worth it. But it works so well that i bought 2 of them. For different rooms and systems(don't think you can put 2 on the same system).

      Hi MatthewO, Thanks for purchasing 2 SA-SW5s. We are so delighted to hear you are enjoying the clear, thumping bass and subtle low frequency sounds of the wireless subwoofer! 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! -Jess Sony_US
