Sony SA-W3000 200W 12" Powered Subwoofer

2012-04-12T20:00:00

I bought this to replace a ten year old Aiwa subwoofer because I wanted to have the 12" woofer and to match the other speakers in my system. The unit is solidly built and matches the other items in my setup, I really like the fact that it has the ability to chain multiple units together so if you have a receiver that only has one sub out you can add another sub with out using a y adapter. The one gripe I have is that you have to turn up the level to 3/4 to even notice the bass. My old Aiwa unit would put out the same amount of bass just under the half way mark. That is the only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars. I will say the the bass is deep and sounds really good, it has that deep boom that I was looking for that the old woofer just couldn't do. Also you might as well turn the auto off to just off, as listening at low levels the subwoofer cuts off and is really annoying. I have this sub with the SS-F7000 towers, SS-CN5000 center and SS-B1000 surrounds hooked up to the STRDA4600ES receiver and 55" KDL-55HX729 TV.

Putting the finishing touches to my first Home Theater system. This woofer is a wonderful addition to the system. Receiver is an STR-DG600 7.1 with CD and Blu Ray running both coaxial and optical inputs depending on the set up.......AWESOME! Play Iron Man 2 in CST EX B mode and prepare to BLOWN AWAY by the headroom created by the surround and this woofer! A+

I never knew what I had been missing from my music until I purchased this subwoofer. Before I had a 2 channel system and purchased this woofer as a result of upgrading to 5.1, and love this product. The bass is so rich and undistorted, and omg the power of this woofer if I need it is there. I would definitely reccomend this product to others. I like my new sony sound sytem better than my dad's BOSE system!!! Just THRILLED!!!

In terms of the performance, I gave it a 4 only cause there was not a 4.5. I have always been happy with this sub and it can hit hard and handle the lows very well. There was only one time that I had an issue and it was while watching The Incredible Hulk, my Blu-Ray player somehow switched over to 2 channel PCM and during the scene at the end where the 2 are fighting, there was so much base that my speakers distorted. I do not know if this was the result of the Sub, the Speakers (Sony F5000) or the Receiver (Sony 710) I believe it was the receiver that couldn't handle the audio it was pushing out. I would definetly say that is a great receiver for anyone looking to have a quality receiver. I would not say that it is in the league of something like the Elemental Design Sub's but it matches the Klipsch and Polks pretty well.
