Strength:
Strong, gut-wrenching bass.
Weakness:
Any more tums? This sub is awesome, and for the price you cannot beat it. While the JBL's are a bit more powerful, I found that the Sony is a touch clearer and the enclosure itself does not sound as if it will rattle apart. I also found that the Cerwin Vega 15' cannot go as low as this (according to stats). And when movies are playing you better be sitting down when you know an explosion is coming cause, how can I put this, it hurts. |

Pretty much everything

Nothing so far Just decided it was time to put together a good Home Theater. I read many reviews on here and decided to piece together a great system rather then buy one of those all in one speaker systems. So far I am very impressed with the SA-WM40. It is ideal for a smaller room, but has the punch to shake the house down. For $150, you get 2-3 times what you pay for. Similar Products Used: none |

LOUD DEEP CLEAR BASS I upgraded to this sub, i owned a Cerwin Vega LW-12 but i thought that it's bass was too boomy and uncontrolled but when i moved up to this sub i got tight clean bass while it beging just as loud and deep. Similar Products Used: Cerwin Vega LW12 |

Gave me a good laugh.
Weakness:
Mislabeled as a "subwoofer". Just a silly product from a silly company. Forget audiophile, anyone who uses this thing is an audiophobe. Never heard something as sorry as this block of garbage. Now I have to live with the fact that because of a whim, I wasted time in my life to listen, correction, whince at this thing. Too bad you can't give negative stars. |

Strength:
Great Bass, Runs Cool, Goes real Low for the money (Great for home Theaters).
Weakness:
Clicks when theres no LFE track. Humms when I turn the reciever off. (doesn't auto shutoff when hooked up to sub out). Sounds great, goes really low. This unit is fantastic for Home theaters, It shake your house down. If you want a great sounding Sub for a home theater I highly recommend this one. The Amp runs so cool you can barely detect any heat. Similar Products Used: none |
