Polk Audio PSW10 10" Subwoofer, Big Bass Compact Design, Up to 100 Watts

I am a self-proclaimed audiophile with a serious inclination towards VALUE. This, my friends, is a product that has immense value.To give you an idea of what I mean by value, my previous set-up had KLH Subwoofers that were so under-rated and unknown that it wasn't until I spoke of them that people even considered them as KLH (being that KLH, for some unknown reason, has a bad name. Now, by no means would I consider myself cheap...I like value--inexpensive items that do as they say while preserving quality. Being that Matt Polk put the name of the Polk legacy on these, the quality should not be

Bottom Line: I wanted to add some good, loud, rumbly bass to my system, and I'm definitely very pleased - amazed even - by the PSW10. If you are on a tight budget or just don't want to spend more than the price of this sub, I think you'll probably be very happy with it.I did a bit of research prior to getting this. It was a bit of an impulse buy; when the price dropped to around $80 shipped via Prime, I just couldn't pass it up. I had been eyeing it for a while and just pulled the trigger on a whim.I gotta say.....for the price - anywhere near, under, or just over $100, I would have to hear an

Why did I buy THIS particular subwoofer?a) Recently the power supply on my Logitech Z-5500 computer sound system died, and after finding that (a) the cost of the repair was something like the nation budget of a small country, and that (b) the "replacement" from Logitech was of a lower quality than the Z-5500, I decided to replace the system with a used receiver (Yamaha RX-V373 5.1-Channel AV Receiver - (Discontinued by Manufacturer)) and reuse the 5 speakers, replacing the dead subwoofer with this unit.b)The result is a system which is more flexible than the original Z-5500 and has a sound qua

I purchased this sub to replace the Sony SA-SC9 because the Sony just didn't cut it for me--and I'm so glad I did! This sub plays the lows really smoothly. It doesn't get too thumpy or just too silent during movie dialog, etc. Just the perfect companion for an inexpensive sound system. I have two medium- size bookshelf front speakers and the sub complements my two speakers nicely. I still don't have the surround speakers but with only three my system sounds great. I have an older Yamaha receiver with 100w/channel so it's the perfect combo. I really don't think that for the money you pay for th

Chose this product over competitors because of good reviews crucially, because it has high-level inputs which are required for hooking it up with old-school integrated amps like the 90's Marantz I have. Quite happy about this purchase - the bass is "musical" and works quite well for all music genres imo. My room is 160 sqft and it has way more power than needed for it - I run it at 20-25% volume setting.I haven't tried it in home theatre setup - can't comment whether it has the gut-rumbling bass for action movies.My setup: I play guitar to backing tracks, and the backing track music and vocals

This Polk subwoofer is an excellent choice (or was an excellent choice now that it has been discontinued) for any audio system, including home theatres, or digital audio workstations.The subwoofer takes some time to tune to the system it is used with. The crossovers are not switched, but are adjusted by a pot. So tuning consistes of making small adjustments on the subwoofer to pick up where your audio system rolls off on the low end. When you get it dialed in, you know you hit the sweet spot.The bass response for the inexpensive, unshielded, and self-powered speaker is pretty good. My DAW empl

This is one of the most Detailed subs I have heard . I use it as a Home Studio Sub with a monitor controller and 2 M-Audio BX5a studio monitors . It is crossed over at 80hz and below and my monitors are crossed over at 80hz and above . I just heard my friends Klipsch 12" sub and it sounds boomy compared to this Polk sub . I knew the 10" would be the perfect size to go with my 5.25" monitors and a 10" sub is usually very tight sounding compared to larger subs but big enough to get down to 40hz and below . I bought this sub expecting to have a little bit of boominess but overall good sound becau

There are lots of positive reviews of this sub. Mine is black not cherry. It looks great. (can't speak for cherry) It has a nice grill that is held on by 6 points. The 10" powered sub puts out a lot of bass if you want it to. Mine is set to 1/2 volume and the crossover is in the middle and I like a lot of bass. (have 600 watt RMS Kicker sub and amp in my car) Even though I had a "subwoofer out" port on my stereo, I hooked mine up to the speaker outs and hooked my speakers up to the sub. It can be hooked up with RCA cables however if you choose to do it that way. My speakers actually had an iss
