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.

Great Sub! Polk makes good stuffNovember 25, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am very happy with this sub. It works with my other Polk speakers creating a vibrant addition to the 7.1 surround setup. The price was right. I chose this sub based on other good reviews here at Amazon. I have no complaints about it. The frequency response is great. I've never owned a sub before so I don't know what a bad sub sounds like. This one sounds great to me. Explosions ROCK the house but do not wake the neighbors.
The build quality is top notch. ALL of the Polk Audio gear I bought from Amazon has had top notch quality to the speakers and cabinets. None of my stuff was DOA. The packaging was great as was the documentation.
I highly recommend this product.
Very Nice, for The PriceNovember 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Needed to replace and old Advent 8" sub and after looking around and doing some reading, I settled on this one. While I'd have to agree with a few of the negatives I've read regarding it's performance at high volumes. For me it's a very good fit!
I don't normally listen at high volumes and if you're also one of these people, I would say look no further. This sub performs very well for your average TV/DVD watcher, the reponse is good and the crossover and loudness adjustments work very well. It was a vast improvement over my old sub. I am more then pleased with my choice and I hope you will be also!

Super Nice Base after a long quest for one.November 10, 2008 After trying some inexpensive base bought from local stores, this Polk subwoofer is a very nice for my home theatre system. I can hear the boomings every time. I recommend this item to those who're looking for a nice sub but does not cost too much.
perfectNovember 1, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this sub along with Polk R50 speakers and an Onkyo TX SR505 receiver. The bass from this is GREAT!!I set it up yesterday and me and my girlfriend were watching Pirates of Caribbean and it sounded great,there was an explosion and it felt like we were right there feeling the concussion we both looked at each other and smiled and said did you feel that?I would highly recommend this product. Sure you could spend more money on a sub but why bother when this sub packs quite a punch.
