Does anyone have any opinions on the Sony SA-WM500 subwoofer? It is rated at 6ohms, 150 watts. I was just wondering why it is 6ohms and not 8ohms? Any opinions?

Thanks.

Thanks.

The voice coil presents a nominal 6 Ohms load. Why not eight,the plate amp will give more power @ 6 Ohms VS 8 Ohms while the 6 Ohms load is still an easy load for just about any amp.

And about my opinion,since we are talking Sony subs...I better keep it to myself.

Hi

If you tell me how much the Sony costs, I can give you my opinion.

All the Best

Hey, its costs $228 canadian. My room is 22x 13 so its not a huge room or anything. I am just looking for a good subwoofer. I was checking out a Velodyne dps-10b, but its $400, and thats out of my price range at the moment. I guess i'll just wait for a good deal

I would seriously look at AV123 X-sub or HSU's smaller STF subs. Stick a fork in Sony for subs.

Hi

If you can manage the X-Sub, I highly recommend it. I am waiting for an X-Sub in Rosa Diamond Palisander.

All the Best
