Amazon.com Product Description
Give your movies and music the rich, powerful audio they deserve with the Polk Audio PSW10 powered subwoofer. Hailing from Polk's reborn Monitor series--which ushered in the modern loudspeaker era in the mid-1970s--the sub combines quality construction with high-end performance, all for a price that won't break the bank. The PSW10 is equipped with a 10-inch polymer-composite cone driver that creates tight, musical bass, along with state-of-the-art laser-based Klippel measurement technology to perfectly center the voice coil within the magnetic field. The Klippel technology improves the linearity of the frequencies to ensure a deep, precise sound for everything from action-movie explosions to cello musical passages.

Adding to the quality is the non-resonant medium-density fiberboard (MDF) enclosure, the 0.75-inch baffles, and the internal bracing, all of which contribute to the sub's superior detail, accuracy, and musicality. Meanwhile, the PSW10's built-in high-current amplifier (50 watts RMS, 100 watts dynamic) supplies all the power you need for big bass, while the adjustable low-pass crossover, phase switch, and volume control make it easy to blend your sub's output with your front and rear speakers. The sub even includes automatic signal-sensing circuitry, meaning it knows when to turn itself on and off.

Though the PSW10 will work with any speakers, the sub specifically designed to complement the clean, stylish look and robust sounds of Polk's entire Monitor speaker line. The black oak finish is particularly compelling, with a style that fits seamlessly with most modern furnishings.

Connectivity stems from the line- and speaker-level inputs, along with the unfiltered LFE input. The combined options make it easy to connect the PSW10 with any receiver or amplifier. And movie fans will delight in the magnetic shielding, which protects nearby TVs and video monitors from video distortion. Measuring 14 by 14.38 by 16.12 inches (W x H x D) and backed by a five-year warranty on the speaker and a three-year warranty on the internal amp, the PSW10 makes a great introduction to powerful home theater sound.

5 out of 5 stars Respectable Bass Output   October 15, 2008
Will (Ca,usa)
A 10"in speaker that has gained my respect. Highly recommended. This baby packs quite a wallop at high or low volumes. With a trained ear and some tweaking, anyone can appreciate this near set it and forget it subwoofer.

However, for the single subwoofer coaxial output on your receiver, you're going to need an RCA single female input to double male Left/Right channel output connector in order to connect this unit properly. I think they (POLK) should include this with the product.

If you own at least a midrange receiver of a clean 110 watt output or more, this solidly built Polk Powered subwoofer can take some serious punishment and is a perfect addition to any system.

I push a shared 300 watts through this subwoofer with a Yamaha natural sound receiver. Along with a main pair of Cerwin Vega CLS-12's, a pair of Cerwin Vega bookshelf speakers and center channel as they all combine harmoniously in the joy of blissful home theater Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. The additional subwoofer completes the audiophile pile thus making the living room walls, picture frames and furniture vibrate and shake while watching a good Blueray movie.

Bottom line: Rock Solid, tight and precise lows and low/mids and it really seems to hold it's own in the end. Well worth the research, reviews and purchase. I've had it about a month now and I like surprising guests when a big boom happens in a movie. It makes us all jump and go wide eyed when it's first felt, then heard! >;-]

I purchased this sub to supplement a HDTV set up in my great room. The products works great, allows me to modify the set up easily and has a pleasing design. Overall just a great buy with good sound performance.


4 out of 5 stars Polk Gets Down   September 11, 2008
Warren Haskins (South Jersey)
The Polk Sub is a great piece of equipment and you can not beat it for the price that Amazon sold & shipped the unit. It does have a base bottom and begins to flutter a-bit when driven with my crown. However, it goes down and responds decently. I have a JBL 12" Sub and it is comparable.
Nice unit and Fat sound.

Warren



5 out of 5 stars Great!   September 7, 2008

I really like this subwoofer, it is relatively portable and easy to set up, and the improvement in my sound system was dramatic!


5 out of 5 stars Incredible bass, well built, and enough oooomph   August 29, 2008
J. Wang (Greenville, SC USA)
Love it. VERY solid and well-made. Aesthetically attractive and performs very well. I'm using it with the Polk Surround Bar and two rear shelf speakers to power a 16X16 dedicated home theater. It puts out more-than-enough bass, unless you're trying to go deaf, or impress Snoop Dogg. The clarity is exceptional and the bass is crisp and travels well. Follow the Polk instructions as they are spot-on with hookup procedures that may seem less-than-conventional. Highly Recommended!!!
