How us the Bass? Does it need a subwoofer?

We have a sub woofer so I cannot say how it will sound without one. I can say the sound is great with the subwooferP.S. I just installed a new Bose Lifestyle V325 System that came with a new center channel speaker so I will be posting it for sale on Amazon soon.

This does require a separate bass. Only a center speaker and performs very well for this purpose.

The Bass is excellent, you don't need a subwoofer, however it will sound even better with it

Functions well. Does not need a subwoofer. Almost acts as a subwoofer. We have it in a large room where it helps fill in sound blanks left by surround sound system. A lot of speaker in a very small package.

Bass is pretty good by itself. At first I did not have a subwoofer and it sounded fine. However, I later got the MartinLogan 700W to go along with it, and love it. Any subwoofer can connect to this soundbar when wired, but only MartinLogan SWT-2 wireless will work. I have the MartinLogan 700W. The "W" is important because it has SWT-2, unlike the older model 700, which is SWT-1.

Now that I've had this speaker for several months, I can say that it is marginal as a subwoofer. It really depends on the equalization of the music you are playing. It has problems in the 200-800 Hz range. I try to keep those frequencies down as much as I can. I used to own a sound and lighting company so I am very picky about how things sound. There are a lot better subwoofers out there but will cost you more money. I will eventually replace this with a separate power amp and subwoofer that is stronger in the low-mid frequencies.

the bass in "normal" mode is deep but balanced. there's also an deep bass mode which is off the charts, especially for music. you can add a sub, but i don't see a need for it.

For a single stand alone the bass is decent. Hope this answers your question.

The bass is OK but you are definitely not getting the same lows as a subwoofer will provide. For me however this is preferable, as I don't think my neighbors would enjoy resonating bass. If you don't have that problem, I would recommend a subwoofer if you really want the full bass sound.

By looking at the pic I would recommend getting something else it doesnt say its 2 ohm stable and it doesnt have a sub sonic filter only runs off lpf 50hz and up you wont be getting any low bass in other words.

I don't think the Sherwood requires a powered sub. I have four full-range speakers on my surround setup plus two outdoor speakers but no sub-woofer. Even without a sub I still get very solid bass sound.

Yes it can be used with out the subwoofer. You'll get much better bass sounds with a sub though. It took a couple of extra days from my sub to come in so I listened to my TV and movies without it. No problem at all.

It is decent bass. But not blow the top off... I have it in my 300zx. It sound good cause it's small hatchback. I guess in a truck it would be powerful too... I liked it just cause it was cheap, and I didn't want too loud like competition subs

It sounds pretty good without the subwoofer. We have a small room and have the playbar....two Play 3's and one play 5 and it sounds great. For our small house the subwoofer would be too much and that's saying something as my husband really likes to have some bass going. If you had a huge area to cover you might want the subwoofer. We used to have a bose system with a subwoofer and this sounds as good at that if not better. If you are really into your sound you probably will want something in addition to the playbar like the play 3's and/or play 5's. We went that route because we could move them into other rooms of the house easily. FYI - the playbar is not a petite piece so make sure you have room for it. I hope this helps!

I'm a mobile dj. The sound is pretty broad. I don't use a sub. Check guitar center they are on display there.

I'm a big fan of subwoofers. Especially with speakers this size. There just isn't enough bass coming out of the RF-52.

I would say yes, the box is fairly small. It provides good sound quality bass and if the sub is powered appropriately can get pretty loud. However a week after I purchesed this box I put my sub in a slightly larger box with a tuned port.... And fell in love with that. In a small cab you get clean sound and incredibly low lows.

Yes! This would be an excellent box for it. This is one serious sub box, I love it and gives off clean low bass.

it does not connect to a subwoofer. I think these speakers are good by themselves. It has a knob for increasing the bass volume.

no. the bass is crisp. you don't need a subwoofer. it will shake your home. with the 180watt amp, its like buying a stereo rather than a speaker.
