What's great about it: Easy to set-up for proper performance
What's not so great: I'm sure some would like more power, for me it is fine.
Good choice for someone who looking to enhance those "low end" frequencies. Well worth the investment !

I have a Sony dn1020 dual sub reciever and Polk audio surround speakers. I wanted something that would really give me that high end theater experience . These Sony subs give deep ,rich bass that fills the room.try it for yourself at home they won't disappoint.

What's great about it: Great Sound
What's not so great: It takes a few seconds for power to turn on automatically
I had limited space so I bought the Bose 166 shelf speakers, but they only give you mid to high range sound. I like the full spectrum of sound so bought the Sony 10' 100 watt sub-woofer. For the price the sound is great! If you buy this item, no need to buy the cable to attach to your amp because it comes with the speaker. This combination of Bose shelf speakers with the Sony sub-woofer gave me the sound I wanted.

What's great about it: Good sound quality for the money
What's not so great: The RCA jack cord wasnt long enough. It was only about 6 ft long so had to put the sub-woofer close to the reeiver.
For the money, i was very pleased with the sound quality of the sub-woofer. I purchased it to enhance my existing speaker system. I didnt have a woofer before and didnt want to spend a lot of money to get one. It made a huge difference the quality of sound I had. I've watched a live concert, listened to ipod, fm reciever, and TV and it enhances all types of sound. Very happy so far.

What's great about it: Sound
What's not so great: Size
Its overall a good sub, and it sounds just as good as a $2-300 sub.
I would recommend it to anyone who just wants a sub for playing games or music, but when it goes into standby mode(you can turn the mode off) it turns back on late, so if you use it for home theater movie keep it on.

I moved into a house that had 5 channel speakers built in. I already owned a Sony TV and receiver, and wanted to add a cheap subwoofer. For $100 I got what I expected - a good, cheap unit that was easy to install in minutes and produces good rich bass to compliment the rest of my theater system. I would purchase it again based on my experience.

What's great about it: Easy to set up and leave alone
What's not so great: Appearance is "old school" but it's out of sight anyway!
I coupled this woofer with a Vizio 32" sound bar after reading several reviews by people doing the same thing. It's an excellent fit. Although the use was intended primarily for my HDTV, the sound quality is better than the two Polk tower speakers I was using off my receiver. Since all of my music is now on my iPod, I hook it up to the 2nd set of jacks on the sound bar and it has become my normal sound system now. The woofer as advertised does have the auto on/off feature which I have no complaints about. I have it behind my whole system in a niche so it would be difficult to adjust regularly. The bass is perfect for both HDTV sound as well as
louder levels for my iPod songs.

What's great about it: clean look
What's not so great: can't push it too much.
I basically asked for the best bang for my buck..and they said this would be it..i bought it and i was impressed. I put it in my room (average 12x12 room). It has great sounds and it shakes the walls (mine is in the corner under a desk though so that amplifies the sound). The high notes hit perfectly, the only issue is when you get to the lower notes. I am a huge audiophile and the one thing i really need is deep clean bass, but when this sub has to hit loud low notes(only a few notes it has a problem with), you get the papery sound with it. You can hear the sub being pushed to the limit. It only shows up when I'm listening to it loudly, so if you are looking for just a quiet rumble, this will be good. But I listen to music a lot, and loudly, and it sounds like foam surround is almost non existent (its there..i checked). There's just a depth that seems to be missing, but overall, this is a pretty impressive sub woofer for the price, and for the most part, it hits all the notes I ask it to.

I bought this to replace a 15 year old Yamaha sub woofer. The sound is very good and the price was great. It was easy to hook up to my 5.1 setup and has the auto on off feature. Plenty of power for a 12 X 12 room.

My 15 year old Sony subwoofer kicked the bucket. Needed a replacement without breaking the bank. I got a NICE subwoofer in this Sony 10". My newly renovated "man cave" is located in my modestly sized basement. New 3D Samsung TV so did not want to embarrass my system with a cheap sub. Very pleased with the sound. Nice deep lows and sub only kicks on when needed to save power and wear/tear on the sub. Good power. Would recommend to anyone!

What's great about it: the bass sound is great you really get into a movie where the bass makes a difference.
What's not so great: the wood encasement 60s look , could be made to look more to the times. But don't let that stop you from buying this gem
this subwoofer is awesome for the price. I replaced my woofer which was not self powered with Sonys self-powered and it is fantastic. It makes all the difference in the surrond sound when watching a movie it literally makes you feel that your in it. great price, great bass and well worth the money.
BUY IT

What's great about it: 'Sound' Value for the buck
What's not so great: that all Best Buy Stores do not stock this Item......not everyone wants a subwoofer to shake walls
worth the investment -- this is not, overpowering, earth-shattering bass. just the right amount based on the system volume and sound setup options your receiver offers -- sub kicks in when needed and goes into standby when not.
