Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
The YST-SW216BL Active Subwoofer sets the standard for subwoofers in this class with high dynamic power and low-noise performance thanks to Advanced YST II, a Linear Port, front-firing design, plus many other sophisticated features. Advanced YST II combines negative impedance and constant-current principles to drive the speaker cone with even tighter control than before. This system dynamically optimizes effective speaker impedance to maintain excellent linearity. This means more stable and accurate low range response for more natural and energetic bass reproduction.

5 out of 5 stars Add to Yamaha MCR-E810SL DVD Mini System   January 6, 2009
A very good match to the Yamaha MCR-E810SL DVD mini system I also purchased from Amazon. Easy to set-up, and I feel much better low frequency balance in music and DVD play (in a room size of 11' x 16').


4 out of 5 stars surprising little sub   January 6, 2009
I have had several subs over the years costing several hundred dollars each, but thanks to my ex-wife I needed a new sub and the budget was a bit tight. I decided to give the yamaha a try, but wasn't expecting to much from it. boy was I surprised this little thing thumps quite well. Not good tight bass for music, but great for movies. If your looking for a budget sub this is the one!


4 out of 5 stars Great addition to a shelf system for college student   December 26, 2008
I hooked this unit up to the Sharp XL-DK227N Executive Micro System which has a subwoofer out. The power and size of this unit nicely enhanced the sound with that system. With the Sharp EQ tuned flat, I did not need to turn the subwoofer to maximum, so I expect this unit will be good compliment to any shelf system up to the 75 watt range. (This unit could be overkill for shelf systems below 15 watts because you might not be able to turn the built-in amp down far enough.)

I also wired up the unit in it's passive setup with this same Sharp system. It was not as impressive in this configuration until I used the Sharp's bass boost feature.



4 out of 5 stars Good sound for a low end sub-woofer   December 19, 2008
I bought this to go along with my Yamaha receiver. This is not your "poweful sub" but for movies watching, it is very good for the price range. This sub does not have auto on/off mode but if you hook up to plug it to your "receiver", the power will be turn on or off with your amp. The sound is clean and the styling is elegant. This sub is not as slim as some may like since it is squared. My movies experience is much better now with this new sub.


5 out of 5 stars What a sub for a reasonable price!   December 16, 2008
I purchased this sub based on customer reviews....and they were right it makes an unbelievable addition to your system!
