Consumer review by:

high pitched hum too distracting

 

I did a lot of internet research before I chose this subwoofer, and the sony name convinced me. I should have believed the reviews that complained about the hum though.

nice rumble

not worth it

Sony SA WM500 - subwoofer

 

Power saver, great volume and room shaking deep bass...Try this sub watching Lord of the Rings Return of the King, or Band of Brothers and you will find it to be awesome sound. Reccomend adding Monster Cable

big beast.....1 yr Sony warranty

Exactly what I needed.

 

Exactly what I needed.

Take this review for what it's worth. I don't know much about audio technology, I just needed something for my family room for movies and television. I think this thing went above and beyond the call of duty. It's funny that it's listed as a 150 watt...

Nothing Like The First Time

 

Nothing Like The First Time

My first subwoofer. I'm reminded of how I felt with my first girlfriend -- so excited to have one, it's hard to find any faults. It may be that I'm woefully ignorant when it comes to subwoofers (and girlfriends). I've had this for a few months, and...

good deal... for the hearing impaired

I purchased one of these for $200 plus tax from a local retailer. After unpacking it and hooking it up to my Sony 5.1 channel surround-sound receiver, I got it to work alright. At first I thought the buzzing sound was normal for a powered sub, but it...

The best price for what you get

 

The best price for what you get

This sub is $150 with free shipping for the past several months elsewhere. This is probably the best subwoofer out there for the price. This, or maybe the Dayton. Since there is no more free shipping on the Dayton, The Sony wins. It's not the best...

Sony is the bottom of the barrel now days

 

Sony is the bottom of the barrel now days

I bought this Subwoofer, after owning several subwoofers between 6 and 10", and they just never seemed to have enough bass to do the job. I'm sure there are some 10" ones that are fine but not in my budget. When the subwoofer arrived, it was hooked...

Have 2 of these. One is dead the other is fine.

 

Have 2 of these. One is dead the other is fine.

**Update: I recently repaired the non-working sub. The amplifier IC went out. I read a post somewhere that this has been an issue on some units. Only cost me $34 shipped for the IC. Some de/re-soldering and it was good to go. I had two of these subs,...
