      Hi Mrbones04, thank you for choosing and purchasing our product. SA-CS9 gives you deep, rich bass from this powerful active subwoofer, and it includes a built-in amplifier with up to 115 W power output. The unit is powerful and compact, perfect for easy installation in tight spots. Because of the reduced baffle area, the speaker minimizes sound field distortion for optimum clarity and precision. Thank you for choosing SONY. ~Earl Sony_US

    Bought in June 2020 as upgrade to the 5.2 Ch Sony model below this. In January 2021, it started turning off and could not follow instructions to update firmware, so must have had a very rare defective unit. Before it acted out, it worked quite well with our Sony Bravia 65-inch TV and Sony 4K Blu-Ray player. Replaced it with the DenonAVR-S750H.
