 OK if space is limited but very boomy. Jul 22, 2010
By J. Musto
"Toolman Joe"
I bought this to enhance the sound of my ceiling speakers. I wanted something small that would fit under a table or love seat so my choices were limited. It's just OK. It cranks out a lot of high, boomy bass but doesn't sound very natural. I have it hooked up to the subwoofer output of a Yamaha CRX-330BL CD Receiver. Unfortunately, neither the receiver nor the sub have a crossover setting. I think that would make all the difference in the world. On certain songs that have low bass notes, the sub seems to reproduce those notes pretty well. The problem is it has a peak at around the 100-200Hz range that makes everything sound boomy.
Another complaint is the sub does not seem to turn off when no audio is fed to it. There is a control cord that came with it but no where to plug it into the receiver. Every other sub I own turns on when a signal is applied and turns off after a few minutes if no signal is detected. This is a poor design.
I plan to open the box to see if there is anything I can do to improve the sound. Perhaps some acoustic foam or fiberfill in the cabinet may reduce the boominess, if it doesn't already have some. If that doesn't work, I'll try some modifications to the circuit to see if I can lower the crossover frequency. I'll report back with my results.
If size is not an issue, there are much better subs out there for just a bit more money. They Sony SA-W3000 is far superior to this sub and only costs $30 more. If your budget (and floor space) is bigger, you have many subs to choose from. My favorite is still my 15" Velodyne. I haven't found anything else even comes close. Of course when it comes to subwoofers, size does matter!
Update: I decided it was not worth my time to mess with this because the sound quality was poor. I returned it to Amazon.

 Extending the depth of listening sensation Jun 20, 2010
By J. Czukor
"cjanos"
The good: I enjoy the sound quality of this subwoofer. I use it to listen to classical music as a bookshelf speaker with my Logitech internet radio.
The bad:
1. For the sound it only has an RCA input. Needed an additional adaptor cable to convert the 3.5mm output from the radio.
2. The power on/off is manual. When I set my radio to sleep, the subwoofer stays on all night. The system on/off works only with Yamaha sound device.

Great Value; solid output Aug 02, 2011
By L. Douglas
Matched currently with a new Yamaha 444 center & 555 tower 3.1 system. I've used impressive 8" & 12" passive/active subs by B&W & Velodyne over the past 20 years. I purchased this Yamaha because my wife didn't want an "ugly box" on the floor with a previous "hide the cables & boxes" basement in-wall 5.1 system. This sub actually fits and works well on the TV stand lowest shelf.
My verdict: Simply amazing for the size & price. Very tunable and attenuation controls very effective. It works/balances great with the new all-Yamaha speaker system purchased when we moved. Highly recommend Dependable Resources, too. Honestly, you will be surprised by the range, output & accuracy of this concise unit. I do not agree that it is boomy at all; it is so easy to balance this sub. I can say this because it's been used in a a variety of rooms and systems, and it always adjusts to an appropriate output. It's not chest pounding like a top 10 or 12, but quite ample for most situations.

 Awesome sound - great value Jun 26, 2010
By Drew35
I recently received a Vizio Sound Bar for Fathers Day to replace my very old surround system (which by the way I also highly recommend). I wanted to get a new sub that I could place in my media component tower so I viewed and researched many of the low profile subs available. After careful consideration, I decided on a Yamaha. I have used their components in the past and have always had great results with them.
I checked many different electronics websites and as usual, Amazon had the best price. I ordered this sub along with a UltraLink Matrix 2 interlink cable (see my review on that product page) at 3:30pm est on Friday, chose the one day shipping and had both products in my house by noon on Saturday!
I immediately hooked up the sub and the sound was AWESOME! I threw on my BluRay copy of Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End and sat back. The bass tones blew me away! For the price of this sub, compared to many others of this style, you can't go wrong! If you're in need of a sub and don't feel like spending a weeks pay on it - Get This Sub!

Good but limited Dec 10, 2010
Overall, the sound quality is good, but the more better subwoofers will automatically turn off the power when no signal from the tuner is being transmitted to the subwoofers. This subwoofer requires the power to be turned on and off or left on continuously. This is my biggest complaint.
