from bestbuy Summary: I haven't much to say yet on how satisfied I'am on purchasing this product. It's one of my first brand name models (which actually have quality), but it hasn't been what I thought it would be. I have heard Yamaha's SW45 and Sony's SAWM40. The SW45 was too weak for my taste, and so I looked at the Sony and Yamaha YST-SW160 <----which I never planned on buying. I heard the Sony sub and it sounded great. I never demoed the Yamaha for some unknown reason and assumed it was the better buy b'c of the 150W, dual woofers, and lowered price. After bringing it home and hearing this one it jus' doesn't seem to have that theater presence as the Sony did, nor as much power. This could be the fact that I haven't found the right spot for it yet, or it's maybe that the Sony has bettered itself this time. It is possible that I may take this one back and give the Sony a try and receive my rebate as well of $50. Strengths: having dual 8" woofers to avoid buying pair of SW45. 150W RMS. many controls. amp remains cool when in use. elegant, sleek, and expensive look. build is quite sturdy. bass hits smoothly and tight. Instruction manual is well layed out and gives perfect sense of direction. Weaknesses: Must be turned up a lot to get desired effects sometimes. For small rooms it's very big and makes hard to place. Can sound distorted at high volumes. takes some time to tweak. Similar Products Used: RCA (forgot model), AudioSource 6.5
