This actually redefined 'unboxing' with some 'sound' advice! Thanks for the video

[@TLPCHC]

Thank you Erratas.

[@MartinRomero]

After taking a look at your videos I got an R-N803 amp and this subwoofer. Stellar recommendations!

[@TLPCHC]

Thank you Martin.

[@jshanker2005]

I don't get it. The sub already has an amp can't you connect the satellites directly to it? Sorry if I sound like a noob. I am one.

[@powerplay074]

i love it for my home theater its outstanding. so clear and powerfull it always sound perfect. it doesnt make any excess noice like my older subs "humming"

I went back to double check the lobbing part ... 😀 ... yes, quite acceptably humorous.

[@juanbaclavab]

I have owned the NS SW300 sub for 8 years and I have to say it's way underrated, I'm keeping this sub forever. I recently got the SVS Pb 1000 Pro and I have to say the Yamaha beats the SVS in speed, impact and grip. The SVS is way softer and slower

[@tessie4204]

Better then the SVS? I like the front power knob on the Yamaha :)

Find it strange that this subwoofer is not covered on other KZbin channels as it’s one of the best in the 10” active subwoofer in its range

Sorry mate this is not a Crossover, it is a LPF - lets you cut the High frequency for the Subwoofer but has nothing to do with the speakers - they will get the full signal if you are using the Speaker level input.

[@adimax24]

Hi, I just got this SW300 sub today. Paired it with Denon X520BT and Elac B5 fronts in a medium size room - 14" by 16". Trying to figure out the best cutoff and volume mix. My problem is that even at 30% volume, it seems to overpower the fronts. Having to use at 10-15% level. Sounds good but feel a little underwhelmed using a new speaker at such low level. In the reciever settings, I have set front speakers to small and LFE cutoff to 80Hz and High cutoff on the sub to 70/80Hz. Any help would be great. Thanks

[@TLPCHC]

Have a good play and find your own happy sweet spot

[@mpoerot8013]

I'd say SW100 or for lower volume, SW050 will better for that size of room

[@MasterBateman]

Hi my friend please help me decide the best, Im about to buy a Yamaha Subwoofer, wich one do you reccomend, the NS SW300 or NS SW500 ? is for my small backyard (7 x 8 meters) and for home. Im only intested in sound quality and fidelity. Regards and thanks for you help.

[@TLPCHC]

We don't see the 500 in NZ, but the 300 is pretty good.

[@alexbarquin9]

Mate, quick question, which option would create a nice bass for a large room. Option 1, 1 x sw300 only or option 2, 2 x sw100. I'm on a tight budget. Ideally I'd prefer 2 x sw300 :) thanks mate.

[@TLPCHC]

The SW-100 is pretty small. Start with one larger one. Then if the budget allows, add a second SW-300.

[@alexbarquin9]

@@TLPCHC I'd go for the 300 then. Do you know another sub that's within the price bracket of the yamaha 300 that is a good bang for your buck kind of sub. Or is the 300 the answer to my question? Thank you.

[@TLPCHC]

I woudl try the Q-Acoustics Q-3070 twin 170mm drivers, or the Elac Debut S10.2

[@sridhartn83]

Does this also come in glossy black, I see it's more of a matte black in this video whilst in some other videos in youtube I see glossy black.

[@TLPCHC]

It is often available in both colour options. In NZ it was abailable in both for a short time, now only in Matt Black

[@thehal991]

Hi, the specs says it goes as low as 20hz, would you agree?? Thanks.

Yes, it probably does, but that is its range, not responce. Have a listen in your local HiFI store. If that is The Listening Post, pop in any time

Thank The Listening Post Christchurch | TLPCHC I Bought this Speaker after i watched your Video, next to my RX V6A, bypassing al the fancy BIAS settings it offers. Great $500 Euro Product ! I never say that... Best Speaker i ever bought, my room is 60 square meter plus, big in feet too, still 60% is the max it will do, 100% is club levels! Create that 'in your car extreme audio' effect at home Could not found a better Sub, this Boosting the Mid and Bass levels on Hi Fi Quality, not just your JBL XL that gives bass shocks only!

The MCR-N870 has a dedicated subwoofer output. USe a good mono-subwoofer cable like these: www.listeningpost.co.nz/products/cables-interconnects-leads/cables-interconnects-leads-rca-cable/cables-interconnects-leads-rca-cable/cables-interconnects-leads-rca-cable-__I.27756__C.27655

Hi. Appreciate to hear your opinion for my propose setup for armos in a small room 8.5'x10'. I have a plan to buy this Yahama subwoofer. My question, can Pioneer VSX-934 7.2CH give enough juice to this sub. I'm on a tight budget. Im also considering a cheaper option Yamaha NS-SW200 8". I believe i can't go for a more powerful device and speakers due room size and budget.

[@TLPCHC]

Hi Zul. A subwoofer has its own "power" so the pioneer is not providing the sub any "Juce". Please go and demo the two subs, and never by and AV with out listening to it first

[@mzaentertainment5618]

@@TLPCHC thank you for your feedback. Im still noob. My current setup is only HTiB. So i don't need to care about impedance for subwoofer? Because im in a tight budget, local store may not have the model i need. Maybe i will have to buy some from online store.

[@TLPCHC]

Hi Zul. You need to spend some time in a HIFi retailer, chatting and listening. Don't assume a retailer won't have what you want, as they will have something that suits. If you buy on line, you better know (very well) what you need, and it seems you don't, so take some baby steps with the help of a good retailer.

No. While the sub might handle it, you should use just ONE cross over. Either the AVR (via the LFE) or the Sub (via the Speaker in)

[@heldermachado780]

I just order NS-SW300 for my home theater, it seems like it was a good upgrade for the price. I haven't received them yet but I'm worried because I've seen several people online complaining about rattling from this subwoofer. Anyone here with this problem?

The SW-800 is a lot older, but is bigger and more powerful. Probably the 800 will be a better sub, but as it is very old now, likely to have age related issues. A possible replacement to the Yamaha SW-800 would be the SVS PB-1000 or SB-2000
