Product Description

Feel the power of 180 amplified watts of pure bass. The Sony SA-W3000 Performance Line Subwoofer makes music come alive and elevates the movie-watching experience to theater-like levels. For cinematic effects, crank up the bass and let the 12″ mica-reinforced cellular woofer and advanced bass reflex design do the rest.

This is exactly what all the previous reviews said it was……a truly deep value for money. The bass is as deep as could be without noticeable distortion and it is clean looking enough to pass the wife’s scrutiny. I am a music buff and I find the bass production to be just as good as the very, very good sony sf 6000 front speakers I use. However the big advantage with this unit is when watching movies…..5.1, 3.1 or 2.1, the bass is way deeper than you can get with the big front speakers. The difference is really dramatic, even to a new comer’s ears.

It should be also noted that the unit DOES have an auto off function (not described on Amazon) which can be disabled at the back. This is great, except when actually watching a movie because it shuts of within 5 minutes if it does not receive a low bass signal from the amps, so during dialogue it sleeps in low power and then has a delayed restart when the bass returns.
