Impress yourself with the earth-shakingly realistic bass pumped out by this 230W subwoofer. A lot is packed into LFEs (Low Frequency Emissions), which you can find in more and more movies and music these days. Rest assured, you won't miss a thing with the SKW-204. Features like crossover control and a phase invert switch let you fine-tune the bass output from this subwoofer to match the wide variety of speakers on the market.

An Excellent SW for the Price
Believe it or not, I had never owned a powered subwoofer until I purchased the "Onkyo SWK204" after researching what I might need to complete my sound system after adding a new Panasonic Plasma HDTV, a Sony Blu-Ray DVD, and a new Sony receiver. After a week of listening to the SW in my home, I am thrilled with the purchase. The "Onkyo SWK204" Bass Reflex powered subwoofer has a built in 230 watt amp which is more than adequate for the home theatre system I have installed in my large living/family room. It is a 10" cone subwoofer that is attractive yet non intrusive in a basic black with silver cone and sturdy enough weighing in at 26 pounds. I am NOT a techie so I will only say that with so many of the new movie sound tracks containing low frequency emissions (LFE), I was astounded at the difference this SW made in my home entertainment enjoyment. It has a frequency response of 25 Hz to 150 Hz and a continuously variable crossover (50Hz-200Hz) controlled by a cross over frequency control along with the customary volume control and a lighted standy mode. There are certainly better and more powerful subwoofers out there and you will, of course, pay for the advanced power or features. As a home audio/visual amateur, I found this unit to be an acceptable and efficacious choice based on performance and price.
Powered Subwoofer Onkyo SKW204
Great bass, because the great size, work great with my Onkyo Home theatre, only have to connect to the power and with a RCA cable (included) to the Home theatre, was a great purchase.
Great Sub Woofer
I am a musician and really appreciate the bass capability of this speaker. It adds a lot to my studio sound system.
Crummy rattling from the box/grill
I was pretty excited about this subwoofer when I got it. The was a powerful unit for the price. There is tons of power...no question about that. The problem is if I turn the volume up half-way or more, the box/grill rattle very loud. I've found many other people online have had the same problem. I was trying to give it a chance because I really wanted to keep it. The rattle drove me nuts and no amount of adjustment could fix it. Unfortunately I called just a few days after the 30 days were up and the distributor (J&R world???)wouldn't even talk to me about the problem...they said I had to call Onkyo for service. I called Onkyo...they wouldn't take it back or replace it...my only option is to take it in to an authorized service place that is 2 hours away. They were total jerks about it over the phone. Apperantly I was speaking to Mr. Onkyo himself because he said there was no supervisor higher than him I could talk to. Crappy rattle with crappy service.
Great Sub
Definitely a great subwoofer, especially for the price - When you look at the two controls, frequency and level, it tends to muddle out the closer to 200 you have it - I find setting it about 70 to 80 (the lower end of the range) and having the level set about mid-way provides the right kind of low end balance that I need. Although I am running a pair of studio monitors at the front of the soundstage - If running only satellite or micro speakers, you may want to bring the gain up to about 120 or 130 to get more of the vocal base range. By no means is it small, and there's an auto off feature that won't turn the sub on until it get's a strong enough signal. It's just a matter of getting used to it. Other than that, I love it!
