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.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not powerful and no auto power control
It does work to certain degree. But it serverly lack of power. I have a Yamaha amplifier provide 100W to each channel. The last 100W DLH subwoofer failed after few years use. So I thought I would replace with this one also 100W in power.

I was wrong. This unit can produce more like 15W. In addition, the last woofer had auto power -- you don't have to turn on power, it will automatically turn the woofer on when income audio signal detected -- this unit has a power button on the back. You have to manually turn it on and off. Whe woofer is located in a built-in rack, it is hard to reach to the power button.

This is the only piece Yamaha brand audio equipment ever disappointed me.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great value in a low priced unit
I am not an audiophile, thus my evaluation of the Yamaha YST-SW216 is obviously based on criteria different from those an aficionado would use.

My measurement standards are simple: 1) does it produce a lot of bass, and 2) if I turn the volume to maximum, will the neighbors complain?

In answer to the latter question, you bet. If I crank the volume past about 1/8th of its range, the downstairs neighbors and those sharing a common wall with my unit can hear it loud and clear.

In terms of producing a solid bass, yes. The YST-SW216 is an excellent complement to my television's speakers.

The unit is basically a cube, a very heavy cube. Yamaha recommends putting the unit in s corner, facing the room at a 45 degree angle. Works well in my somewhat oddly dimensioned living/dining room.

Hook up is by RCA phono plug or wires. There is a crossover switch, ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent! Very pleased with this thumper!
I am not an audiophile as one other reviewer mentioned, but I was very happy with what I would call thundering bass in my 23' x 24' room with 9' cielings. I have the volume on about 1/3 level. This thing blows my old 8" Infiniti sub away.
I'm very pleased...and all at a great price. Don't hesitate at all if you are shopping for a sub under $150. That was my price point and I couldn't be happier.
Good luck!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Powerhouse Value!
This is one of the better bargains for subwoofers. I specifically have this for my "Mitsubishi LT-46149 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Integrated Sound Projector". The `front-firing' simply means it pushes the bass out from the speaker instead of down. The advantage to this is it won't vibrate the floor as much. The sound is unaffected. It perfectly captures the sound of the bass guitar and drums with amazing clarity, but can be overwhelming when listening to a newscaster's voice. My room is only about 20 X 20 feet and I need to keep it turned lower; it's that powerful. There is some adjustment needed if you are using it for your TV and sound system. There are also separate speaker wire outputs on the back for surround systems, but I have found them unnecessary. Denon also makes a great subwoofer, but is somewhat more costly (its worth it).
