Excellent Subwoofer!
(5 out of 5) by dtazdg on Oct 15, 2007 (Colorado)I bought this sub woofer to replace my old sub woofer from my Sony HTD-DW790 Component Home Theater System. It is much better then the sub woofer that came with that system. Outstanding frequency response. Also note that on the back of the sub woofer there is volume control and frequency adjustments along with speaker connecters.

Sony Performance Line 12" Subwoofer
(5 out of 5) by L. Johnson on Mar 19, 2008 (Boston, Ma)Before buying this sub, I read the reviews of Amazon customers. As far as I'm concerned, they have the most accurate reviews on the net.
I was going to buy the 200watt Sony sub, but saw a review by someone who bought the 12". This sub is all you will need. I have always loved bass, but clear good bass, not just thumping bass. This sub rawks my world, and the neighbors, lol. The auto shutoff is fantastic. If your room is huge, you may need more wattage.
I have it hooked up to my Yamaha N600 with Sony fronts, 270watts, Center is Sony 150watt, Surround left, and right
120watts, and one surround back.
Buy this Sony subwoofer, you'll be glad you did.

Boom goes the Dynamite
(5 out of 5) by Kevin Smith on Mar 22, 2009 (Raleigh, NC)I spent a lot of time reading and listening to numerous subs before deciding on this model, and I am very pleased. It completely fills our living room which is 20'X 20', however, please take the time to adjust the sub once you get it setup. Once you take the time to get everything right, this sub will hit hard, tight, and even rumble the walls.
I've done my best to "torture test" this unit. I have watched 300, The Dark Knight, and Iron Man all on Blu-Ray with the uncompressed audio tracks and this sub performs beautifully. I've also watched a few concert dvds and listened to a lot of music ranging from classical to rap and again, this sub handles it all with ease...never getting muddy or boomy.
I am very, very impressed with this subwoofer and I highly recommend it. Don't let the sony name scare you away and take a little time to get this beast customized for your room and I promise you will not be dissappointed!
