Had a passive sub on the kids audio/video set up and felt like suprising them with an active sub. I am amazed at what a bargain this subwoofer is ... they get those deep video game and movie basses bigtime now. I previewed it via some music cds and was suprised again. Very good product for not much money!

Good adjustments, easy to set up and more decent bass than one needs. 5 stars on this one.

This product performs very well and is a good buy for those wantign to enhance the sound of their entertainment system that did not come with this type speaker.

This is a really nice sub for the Money, Sounds nice and is very affordable.. I would recomend this product to anyone who likes clean sounding bass.. Hope this reveiw could be helpful to all.

I have a McIntosh 2100 (circa 1972) and a C26 McIntosh pre-amp and I play a lot of vinyl folk-rock and country rock. The C26 pre-amp has an adjustable center channel output that works perfect with the SA-WM250 to give rich extra bass to my speaker system without overkill in terms of the kind of music I enjoy. Several young sales people in modern places like Fry's and Best Buy told me using a center channel for a sub-woofer would not work because the center channel was dedicated to mid-range, but they were thinking in terms of modern surround systems and digital receivers. As some audiophiles have discovered, older, over-produced systems like the McIntosh prior to the 1980's and vinyl have a distintive richness of sound. My Sony Subwoofer works perfect with it.

Bought a Sherwood home theater tuner/amp to take advantage of all those unused speakers in the basement bought over a 20 year period. Hooked up five speakers and had a great sound. Bought this damaged box special at Radio Shack warehouse outlet and then watched Starwars 4, 5 & 6 again. What an amazing differance. It doubled the intensity of the surround sound experience.
