Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

The encloser does not cover the amp, the auto switching is disturbing, and it booms rather than reproduction of intended effects. Per most sony products for the past 20 years, very average.

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

This is the only home theater subwoofer i have purchased, and if in need another one, would buy the same thing. The adjustable frequency knob on the back is helpful as it can output at different levels for different sized front left and right speakers. it does well for all types of music, and can rattle the walls if i so choose during a movie. there isnt anything i dont like about it. the power saving feature is convenient unless there is a louder moment during a quiet scene of a show or movie when it can be heard turning on and off. i highly recommend this to anyone.

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

When I first purchased it I was pleased with the sound this unit put out, especially for the price. Within a year, however, the power amplifier went out and I had to have it replaced...not an expensive piece of equipment, but definitely a job for a person with electronics experience. Exactly a year later the same thing happened! At this point I'm in the market for a new subwoofer and will be more mindful of the old adage that "you get what you pay for".

Great item for good quality sound

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

This is a good speaker that packs quite a punch. I have a 2-story house and the neighbors aren't that close but this speaker packs such a punch that I have it turned way down typically to about 30%. If you turn it up to 50% you will think you are in the movie theatre. 100% will scare the living daylights out of you if you are watching a suspenseful movie. Two thumbs up.

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

I purchased the same subwoofer a few years ago and really liked it. This new model can't be turned up, the knobs are to the max and it is just noticeable that I have a subwoofer. I read reviews and people said it would shake the windows. After I got it I looked at reviews and someone said they had the same problem and sent it back thinking it was defective and the new one was the same way. I have tweeked the settings on the stereo and no difference. The sound is good you just can't turn it up for more bass.

Great Sub.

4.0 stars

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Ok first of, this subwoofer's amp is a bit too powerful for the speaker. I bought this because it has better power handling than the SAW 2500. But this one goes into distortion be4 the SAW 2500. Usually the volume level is a bit higher for the SAW 2500 because i want a blend instead of a massacre. But My SAW 3000 distorts sound alot. Dont get me wrong, its loud and deep. I like it too. I have ran so many test on this thing and it beats the SAW 2500 by far. 20Hz is VERY quiet when being played through this speaker. but atleast it's there. Bottom line, ur making a great investment in a subwoofer. this is the most i have ever paid for a subwoofer. Maybe one day i can have something buy Def. Tech. I'm checking out BIC AMERICA at the moment. But for now this Sony is rockin my house to peices.

Six years and still thumpin' like new!

5.0 stars

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: Great price and quality, awesome lows, and great overall sound output. Get the 12" sub!

Cons: Not the prettiest subwoofer, but it makes up for that in sound output!

Owned for six years and it still works great! My Sony 12" subwoofer has been put through movies, games, and even loud techno (yes, don't judge)! Since it is a "low-end" subwoofer, it does have its output limits, but my subwoofer will easily overshadow the output my surround system is capable of. The fact that this thing still works to this day after six years shows how durable and quality built this speaker is. I originally bought the Klipsch 12" subwoofer (awesome output but didn't hit as low as the Sony could), and I don't regret returning the Klipsch to get the cheaper Sony.

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: amazing sub...bar-none

Cons: only freq. cut-off switch, no freq. control

this subwoofer is absolutely amazing. i got it on black friday for only $100. Even the original price is a steal. With my system set-up, when you turn it up you can feel the bass pounding in your chest. its an absolutely incredible subwoofer.

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: Took 2 seconds to setup, great sound

Cons: Control Location

Got this today, was on sale, got it home, took literally 15 seconds to setup, and was up and running great, works quite nicely with my Pioneer VSX-517 and accents my Bose 201's and VSC-10 quite nice.

A good Buy

5.0 stars

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: Good power for a budget price

Cons: None at all

I'm starting out small...well, kinda. For my home theater system, I bought a Sony 500w 5.1 receiver, and I'm currently using my Panasonic speakers from a 5.1 system I bought 3 years ago. Panasonic only made their subwoofer to connect to their unit, so I had to buy a component sub. This Sony subwoofer fit perfectly into my budget, and it works well with the town home I live in.

A Must Try 12" Active Subwoofer

5.0 stars

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: Inexpensive and Satisfying Bass at Low Listening Levels

Cons: Level/ Phase/ Cut Off Freq located in the rear.

I bought this SA-W3000 to replace my old SA-WM40. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase. As far as price, it was less than what I had paid for my old Sony eight years ago, so I am not complaining (on sale for $169.99). After reading some of the Customer Reviews, I agree about what has been said about its overall appearance. There is an option of concealing it behind a piece of furniture, behind a sofa, or oversized chair. Besides, isnâ��t a subwoofer supposed to be heard and not seen? Personally, I like it without the round grill cloth. Definitely, this subwoofer gives you plenty of â��boom for the buckâ��. I would recommend this to anyone, and remember you can always return it; thanks to Best Buyâ��s no hassle return policy (30 days).

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: Easy set up

Cons: none

After deciding to set up a home theater for Christmas, I realized the missing link was a subwoofer. Doing some fast research, I found this Sony 12 inch on sale on "Black Friday" I was disapointed to find out after placing the order that it wasn't in stock and would take 3 to 4 weeks to arrive.<br />The home theater arrived and thanks to the Geek Squad, they did a very nice install for me, but their departing words were, aren't you getting a subwoofer?<br />Well as soon as it gets here... Come on Best Buy...<br />A week before Christmas I got an email the order was being cancelled, and the same day I got one telling me my order had been shipped. Christmas Eve, it was on my doorstep. What a great Christmas present. The set up was easy, plug and play. Now the walls vibrate, plates in the china cabinet upstairs rattle when the dino walks in Jurassic Park... Well worth the wait, and the money spent, and now I understand why they stay out of stock. specially when you can catch it on a black Friday sale for 99.00 and free shipping

5.0 stars

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: Inexpensive, great bass!

Cons: Ugly as sin!

I read all the reviews before going to the store and picking on up! I upgraded it from my old standard sub-woofer that came with my Home Entertainment Center in a box. What a difference. Rich bass, loud as can be for the price. I love when it booms and vibrates my chest. Watching "World Trade Center" in HD with the bass maybe a quarter way, what an experience. Forget going to the movies, this completes the package!

excellent low-price sub

5.0 stars

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: good amount of power, deeper range than most cheap subs

Cons: auto-on takes a fair amount of volume to activate

This sub is a nice match for a simple 2.1 receiver in the 100W/ch range with a couple of mid-size bookshelf speakers. (I dislike surround for music, unless one has 5 grand to blow.) It has a deeper range than most others in this price bracket. It will fill a 12 x 14 room nicely. Just make sure your fragile stuff is velcroed down. Great for anything but hip-hop. Awesome for movies - just enough without being overwhelming, but there's headroom to play with as well.

great subwoofer for the $$$

5.0 stars

Sony SA-W3000/Z Subwoofer (Each, Black)

Pros: great sound quality and great price

Cons: it is actually a 180-watt, not 200-watt

after reviewing everybody's reviews, and doing research on subwoofers, I was convinced that this SONY subwoofer was the best of all for its size, power and the price. Beware that this is actually a "180-watt" powered subwoofer, NOT "200-watt" as it is advertised.
