Sony SA-WM40 Subwoofer Speaker

Pros: Price, Powerful, Durable, Quality Construction, Auto On/Off, Phase options
Cons: Kind of Boxy, Slight humming at very high gain

After having owned a 6.0 setup for about 6 months, I just couldn’t take it any longer. I originally ...

Pros: Amazing Price, High Sony Quality, Clean Bass, Powerful Bass, Nice Amp.. etc...
Cons: None So Far

For such a low price tag, how can you possibly go wrong? Sony has really changed regarding their current performance with speakers. The speakers that they now create are superb quality, and the Sony SA-WM40 is definitely one of those. This 12" 120 Watt...

Pros: price, sound quality, self-contained unit
Cons: auto power-off occasionally annoying, volume control redundant in modern systems

I've had mine about a year, and while there may be better subwoofers, this one has performed marvelously at a great price. I was somewhat reluctant to buy a subwoofer, mainly because I was using full-sized speakers in a house with hardwood floors--in ...

Pros: Substantial bass presence at the price point. Good for HT out of the box.
Cons: Too boomy for music until you modify it.

How happy is Sony that they made this little gem of a subwoofer! Glowing reviews up and down the internet. Here's mine.

There is nothing that can beat this thing at the price point. At the $300.00+ range think Velodyne if you would rather pay...

Pros: A "value" priced sub, with high quality
Cons: none noted

OK, a little play on words can't hurt, can it? I'm trying to say that I feel this unit is an excellent value. I auditioned a number of much higher priced subs, and found that in the under $300 range, not to mention the 12" size range, this speaker is...

Pros: Underworldly, deep, tight bass when modified. High quality output from a low priced sub
Cons: Needs a slight modification to achieve most desirable results

I recently purchased the SAWM40 as a replacement for the blown sub in my Sony SAVE315 set. I’d always been quite satisfied with the output from my old woofer but the SAMW40 has made realize this one simple truth…ignorance is bliss. I simply didn’t know...

Pros: Inexpensive, Loud, Deep
Cons: None as far as I'm concerned

I got into home theater about two years ago and I absolutely love it. I would rather watch a DVD then go to the movies now. After completing my surrounds I wanted to add the LFE and I didn't want to drop $400 doing it. I did plenty of research as always...

Pros: Price, quality
Cons: Doesn't do as well on music as some

I purchased the Sony 12 Powered Subwoofer SA-WM40 basically because of Sony's reputation, and at $140.00 the price was right.

Some Stats:
12"driver
120 Watts
hits notes at 20 Hz

I guess those are the basics that I...

Pros: Price, Sound
Cons: None

Intro... A big Sony fan.

I have been sony products for quite a long time now. Everything from there cd players and speakers, to home theater systems and television. I have always found them to be a reliable company that also has good...

Pros: Low price, great value!
Cons: None noted.

"Modification"(other reviewer)?? Mine does not need one.
Excellent product for the price! A little experimentation gives really tight bass. When I first set it up, it was much too "boomy", but I adjusted crossover to 60-70 Hz and it's great. I...

Pros: Price vs Performance
Cons: Location of volume/crossover adjustments

I have been putting together my home theater system, piece by piece, reviewing comments/ratings/specifications prior to making a purchase decision. Performance is a major consideration for me, as well as price. I'm willing to pay a little more for...

Pros: Very affordable, low 20Hz, energy saver mode
Cons: none

The Sony has excellent sound at a reasonable price. I went to Best Buy thinking I would purchase the JBL 12" sub ($350) and ended up listening to the Cerwin-Vega 12 ($299), the JBL 10 ($279), and the Sony SA-WM40 ($199). I talked myself into being...

Pros: Affordable, nice size
Cons: Needs good tuner/amp

After reviewing several articles here and on other newsgroups, I wanted to give the Sony a try. I tried to purchase it from 'inetshopping.com' for $139 but they were sold out. So, I asked Best Buy to match the price...and they did! That's $60 off...

Pros: Fantastic Power. easy to hook up to stereo. Build quality seems great.
Cons: The cable that is provided to hook directly to LFE (Sub) channel is quite short!

During my search for the perfect audio system, I briefly owned this sub. For the short time I had it, I couldn't find anything, 'short' of the sub cable, to complain about. Positioning it was a little tricky for that reason, and the fact that it is a...

Pros: good kick, nice sound.
Cons: a little boxy

I'm a college student and I bought this woofer before heading off this year. The kick on this one is great and it really adds to my surround sound system. I'm a big fan of hip-hop music, and a good woofer is a must for this genre. I keep mine under my...
