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.

 Incredible bass, well built, and enough oooomph August 29, 2008
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!!!
Great Value July 13, 2008
I have been in the market for a subwoofer for quite a while, and after reviewing and following the prices, this was the best value. The sound so far has been outstanding and it fit in well with the rest of my Polk surround sound speakers in our media room.
 Not a sub for us audiophiles, but good for $100 July 9, 2008
I bought this on sale at amazon for 108 bucks. I would NOT have bought it if I had not used a 100 dollar gift certificate I received for Christmas. This subwoofer does improve my sound system by a noticeable margin.
I have two Klipsh tower speakers and two yamaha bookshelves in the back. The four together put out loads of bass that fills my apartment. This subwoofer however does increase the low range. If you have big towers like I do, use the high cut for sure, as it clarifies and adds crispness to the bass.
Right away when I got it, I cranked it up and noticed an internal rattling of some sort. Because of this, I would not recommend buying this again, as I fear either the voice coil is of low quality or the cabinet was not well crafted. For the average rock listener and movie watcher, this will fill a small to medium room with the lows you like to experience in a theater. Don't expect this to make a brotha bounce to songs with mega bass.
Great powered sub for a smaller space June 23, 2008
This powered subwoofer will definitely rock your world in a small den or viewing room, especially if your amp has LFE capability. Setup is straightforward, and the instructions are quite clear.
 A little boomy and 10 minute hum after shutting off, but great for the money! June 21, 2008
If you turn the volume up on this where you can really tell it's there, it gets boomy while watching things with background music, such as sportscenter. Truth be told, I have the bass volume set a little high due to gaming.
Also, with a $20 Subwoofer Cable, it has the "hum" that people complain about. The situation is this, when my receiver is on standby and the sub has no signal, it emits a low humming noise. I have it on the "Auto" power setting, and the hum shuts off within 10 minutes.
This sub hits hard, and if it had above half volume you can hear it outside my house. IMO, no one needs any more than this for TV-watching.
