Perfect for the price point

 

For my small living room this adds just enough sound without overpowering. For the price point its a great purchase. I have always had good luck with the Yamaha brand. No issues so far.

- adds fuller sound - have had no issues / complaints

Fantastic

 

After 10 years the price on this is only $20 less than what i got it for.

I have had this model for nearly 10 years now. Purchased it new when it it first came out.(not from newegg) This sub delivers, music and movies have alot more depth with this sub. I Have had it in many different positions as well as rooms. (move around...

The D-sub input on the back has become week and wiggles making the sound cut out with alot of shaking. But just switched to the Mono one and still works great. Also the unit is 10 years old so some wear and tear is going to happen. The auto on feature...

One of the best sounding Sub's I have heard

 

This is one of the best subwoofers I have heard in a Home Theater Setup. You can feel every moment of the movie when you have this baby turned on.

Very Powerful. Easy to setup.

Got to love Yamaha

 

If you do not have larger side and center speakers. This thing will out do them. So, would not skimp on speakers if you are getting this monster. Go with something smaller.

Powerful, Down blast speaker puts the vibration right into the floor. Can blow the sound right through out the house. Doors are no object with this speaker. Has front volume control so you can dial it down so not to offend neighbors after 12 midnight.

None, for me, it does about everything I wanted of it.

Awesome subwoofer!

 

Wonderfully clean, and powerful bass. Automatic shut off and turn on. Perfect for home theater or music. Can be placed almost anywhere and still work effectively. The room I use it in is small, yet it is still not overpowering. I would recommend...

Sometimes the automatic turn on feature will not work if the volume of the source is too low.

Loud, crisp

 

I bought this subwoofer before my 2nd year of college, and have since graduated after half of my 5th year. My roommates used and abused the thing, cranked all the way up. 4 years of heavy dubstep and hip hop as well as some rock/metal mixed in. It...

Have only used in small-medium sized rooms, where it is plenty of sound. This thing really does slam, way more sound that low quality 12s from logitech or something similar. I didn't pay the $250 it costs now.

Auto-standby feature is pretty useless. This is the only thing I docked an egg for, even on the low setting it takes a good amount of bass to turn on. It only works if you only listen to loud music or loud movies, but as someone else stated, it'll go...

Decent sub, decent price

 

Sub is paired with an Onkyo TX-NR515

Sound quality and loudness are nice. Thought the price was decent for a 10" speaker.

Auto standby can be annoying as sometimes it will turn on and off during a movie. Been playing with the high/low settings and different setup configurations but have not fixed the issue yet.

Fantastic Sub

 

This sub has a neat feature to turn itself on standby when it's not in use.

Had this thing for over two years now, and it's still going good and the sound is still just as amazing. If placed correctly in the room you'll be surprised it's only a 10" sub. A great buy

Amazing sound!

 

Running this sub with Polk Audio RTi8 fronts, CSi A6 center, RTi A3 surrounds and a BIC America FH-6 LCR for back surround on a Yamaha RX-V765. Love this Yamaha SW315. I consider it the second best buy I have ever made for Home Theater with only the...

Got this to replace an aging (15 years +) Sony sub. Tried a Polk Audio PSW10 and it was OK but kind of boomy and did not sound as good with music as the Sony so I thought I would give this one a try after reading all the good reviews and it was on sale...

None so far.
