Product Description

From the Manufacturer
The Yamaha YST-SW1500 12-inch subwoofer is powered by an extremely efficient built-in 1,000-watt amplifier, and, with its advanced YST Active Servo Technology for expanded base response, it delivers the bottom-heavy tones music fans expect. YST is a complementary amplifier/speaker system that utilizes negative impedance feedback in the amp and a Helmholtz resonator in the speaker to provide strong and accurate bass tones. The subwoofer is A/V ready and features magnetic shielding, which lets you place the speaker on a TV or video monitor without degrading the picture. Other features include a 16 to 200 Hz frequency response, line level and speaker level connections, an auto power on/off, a high pass output for music listening, an LFE input, a high cut slope (-24 dB/octave), a volume control, a phase normal/reverse switch, and a BASS (Bass Action Selector Switch). The subwoofer contains a 12-inch long stroke with dual bias cone driver, and is housed in a 1-inch-thick real wood cabinet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best sub under $1000, December 26, 2004
This sub is abslutely amazing. Sounds in the ultra-low range actually come out as notes rather than indistinct rumblings. When used for home theater, you can feel the difference from other subs in the same price range. It even generates sounds so low that those "felt but not heard" sound effects are faithfully reproduced, the way Hollywood intended.

This baby was made to compete with the big boys. It fills its stat line with good numbers and has the real world performance to back it up. The finish on the furniture grade inch thick real maple cabinet is exceptional as well, making it look as fantastic as it performs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tell Yo Mama 'bout da Yamaha!, January 23, 2007
By R. Isner (Richmond, Va. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The title was just a joke but this subwoofer is anything but! This thing is thunderous! If you like adding depth to your music this is the device. With a 12" driver and internal 1,000 watt internal amp, this thing has plenty of reserve power. I listen to my rock/pop music very loud and the YST-SW1500 laughs at me to turn it louder. Be warned... Take any loose items such as pictures off of tabletops and make sure things on the wall are secure. Tighten screws around the house every couple of months. This subwoofer will show your home what bass is all about. Bass travels so if you have neighbors within ear shot, this will not be the unit for you. Look for a significantly smaller unit. This sub is for the serious music lover only.

UPDATE (10-8-2007) - I'm even more in love with this unit today than I was when I bought it. Take my advise please, when it comes to a sub regardless of what brand you buy, go big! Bigger the woofer, bigger the boom. High power is the only way.

Even if you think it's too big... Trust me, it's just right! This sub backs up a BOSE AcousticMass 5 system. I bought the BOSE system first and added the sub 2 years latter. I thought the BOSE was a sweet sounding system... When I added the Yamaha I realized the BOSE actually sounded like crap! Wake up your home system and get a high powered sub. You won't regret it!
