Summary:
Having owned the Yamaha YST-SW800 for about two years now, I can say it is a very solid performer. It's been hooked up with several different speaker systems and has had a benificial effect on them all. Currently it is being used in conjuction with a pair of BG420's with very satisfactory results. When set up properly the bass it produces is both tight and full-bodied and blends in quite seemlessly with the main speakers. Dollar for dollar I have yet to hear it's peer. My rating is based on it's price range.

Strengths:
Solid build,tight,deep and accurate bass.

Weaknesses:
Cheap power cord, switches placed in the back are awkward to get at.

Summary:
I love bass and was looking for an excuse to get a sub. The guys downstairs gave me that excuse. Now I hear complaints every weekend of how many bottles I knocked off the mantle downstairs. Great sub! I am impressed more everytime i listen to it. Excellent for movies and very good for music. Can experience some flutter from the port when all the way up listening to Rap music. Can eliminate easily by cranking back the volume to 80% or so. Still plenty pounding enough for me.

Strengths:
-Extremely powerful
-Adds life to movies
-Makes you feel as if you were at a concert.

Weaknesses:
Angers neighbors. (Possible strength?)

Summary:
I've experienced many subs and this the best for the price I've heard. I haven't experienced any humming, chuffing or any problems at all. The only two comments I would say to prospective buyers is Firstly don't judge the sound instore, Try at home. I didn't like the sound in the store but I love it at home. Secondly be careful when setting up at home as this sub is so powerful it can easily overpower your existing system

Strengths:
Power.
Build quality.
Looks.

Weaknesses:
Can overpower some systems if not setup correctly.
Poor quality mains power Cable.
