" ... It rocks the tiki hut, I can’t believe the difference in the sound. ... "
" ... Did not let me down, this is my second Yamaha sub but the first that is powered and let me tell ya . ... this thing may be little but it shakes everything in the house and sounds GREAT !!! ... "
" ... Good bass for tv sound system. ... "
" ... I added this subwoofer to my Klipsch bookshelf speakers with a Yamaha HTR 5240 receiver. ... "
" ... It's ideal for small rooms ... "
" ... Compact sound ms great ... "
" ... I purchased this sub to augment my Denon small space stereo system. ... My Denon system is exceptional in it's rendition of highs and treble sound but lacked in bass rendition. ... So I bought this bass, using the stimulus money from Trump's plan, and found it really delivered on bass for my system. ... The Bose system was so lifelike that I thought I was there in the orchestra pit and the sound was incredible. ... I still have a problem with too much highs in the music I play with this system but it is still very good and I would recommend it to those who have a smaller space and want to enjoy quality music. ...

" ... Wow, big Bass in small package. ... "

" ... sounds like i'm riding shotgun in my trunk!!!! ... Great Purchase, Monster Depth for an 8" sub. ... "
" ... This woofer has great bottom but surprisingly an excellent low-mid quality, if that is of any help. ... "
" ... I wish I could test what this woofer is capable of but that would not be neighborly. ... It rounds out the sound of my very capable Yamaha ATS-1080 sound bar very well. ... "
" ... excellent product great sound ... "
" ... Modern 5.1 systems are set up for an active subwoofer and, frankly, they need one! ... For movies, it has transformed my sound into a chair-rumbling experience. ... As soon as the speaker was set up, I gave it a good shakedown test - Star Wars, then Independence Day. ... For me, the Yamaha subwoofer is a perfect match. ... "
" ... The output is good but I think the sound can be better and this isn't the fault of the sub-woofer. ... And I was hoping that the 3-in sub-woofer in the sound bar would shut off once it detected a connection. ... "
" ... Excellent addition to my Yamaha soundbar! ... "
" ... This sub bangs for its 8” size and has solid overall sound. ... "

" ... This really cleans up the soundbar and adds clean bass from the 8” sub. ... "
" ... Good bass for tv sound system. ... "
" ... I use a high end book end speaker system and needed a bit more bass without the boom. ... "
" ... You'll need to tweak your crossover frequencies, sub level and LPF to get optimal sound. ... If you need more bass I'd advise buying a bigger more powerful driver. ... "
" ... Wow, big Bass in small package. ... "
" ... Smooth bass quality. ... "
" ... My Denon system is exceptional in it's rendition of highs and treble sound but lacked in bass rendition. ... So I bought this bass, using the stimulus money from Trump's plan, and found it really delivered on bass for my system. ... "
" ... It’s got a very nice clear bass sound. ... "

" ... Medium sized room really sounds great now ... "
" ... Just hooked this up a few hours ago and in a 19x30 room it sounds fantastic. ... "
" ... But this is a smallish room, and it does sound good. ... "
" ... In any case it does definitely augment the output of the soundbar significantly at any volume. ... "

" ... Sounds great and super easy setup connecting a single subwoofer RCA cable to back of speakers. ... I ended up moving to this to my living room to use as a 2nd sub for my home theater setup and it does a much better job for that use considering the size. ... "
" ... 50 watts(not 100 watts like advertised) which of powerful enough for small apartments and smaller rooms. ... Running two of these would be great for bigger rooms for easy placement because they're not too big. ... "
" ... I very much appreciate that this has separate power and volume controls. ... "
" ... I use this in my office/den. ... It's ideal for small rooms ... "
