4.0 out of 5 stars Great compliment to the soundbar, July 21, 2008

By	Stevie "Steve" (Boston MA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

After some research I chose this model to compliment my new Yamaha sound bar . I was surprised just how good it performed for such a small unit. I also like the system connector which allows you to control it through your main Yamaha component.

Haven't found anything wrong with it so far and have listened to a ton of music and watched a few films (Batman begins was just excellent with the new bass).

It's perfect for someone who doesn't want to spend too much and definitely a must if you have a sound bar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fugazi, May 2, 2009

By	Neil W. Brabham "Fugazi" (Savannah, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have owned larger more expensive JBL down firing powered subwoofers and bose speakers in the past. For the money and size, this Yamaha unit works extremely well. Although I'm running mostly sony components, this unit has the power to handle a 7.1 surround system set up. Other than the low price of around $200.00, the size is the main reason that I bought this unit. It can either fit under a bed, or in a small space. I have it stuck inside a closet and it works great. The bass is very clear and only needs to be adjusted on the unit to about the half way mark. I would definately recommend this Yamaha unit to anyone looking for a subwoofer to complement their system or upgrade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Designed for the Yamaha Sound Projector, March 9, 2009

By	S. Murray (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have a Yamaha YSP-900 Digital Sound Projector which had iffy bass, and this fills outs the sound to make a full 5.1 surround, emulated of course. This subwoofer was specifically designed for the YSP series, I am not sure it's value to others. Very rich sound, low rumble, not ultra powerful though but absolutely enough for me. The audio can be adjusted directly through the remote for the sound projector, although not the power switch. Good item, bought here for 120 + ship but see it's ~129 @ newegg right now w free shipping, I wouldn't pay too much than that for the subwoofer. Once you get into the $200 range you would be better served looking at pro level subwoofers.
