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.

 Polk review March 11, 2010
C. Durham (Colorado Springs)
It works great! Hooked up easily and seems to do the trick. I really don't know much about sub-woofers, but when we turn it up, you can sure hear and feel the base.
The perfect Sub for your average movie watcher March 10, 2010
Eric S. (Saratoga Springs, NY USA)
This sub-woofer is a great value. I bought it to replace a dozen year old Polk PSW50. I am not an audiophile, and rarely listen to music with my home theater setup. When we do have music playing on this system, it's usually during the holidays or when entertaining friends, so the music quality is not being scrutinized. For movies, this sub gives you the room shaking effects that you expect. For your average home theater enthusiast who is looking for a sub that won't break the bank, you can't go wrong with this Polk.
Polk Rocks March 7, 2010
J. Pagani (Charlotte, NC)
The unit was easy to set up and adds a whole new dimension to your stereo and movies. Used it with a Sony STRDH500 and hooked it up to the Monaural output and into the L/R speakers stereo jacks in back of the woofer. Tweaked it in between the 2 components with an older pair of PSB Century 4000i's. Yeah it rocks! I'm sure there's better stuff out there, but for under $300, it fills a room 15' x 25' just fine. And if I really want to crank up the base, the Polk has a volume control to go big base or suttle background base.
 For What It's Worth, Here Is My Experience............... March 1, 2010
Thomas D. Christianson (Ashland, WI United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It looked nice. Had many great reviews. Polk is a very decent brand name, and the price was right, so I bought 2 of them. When 1st hooked up, one had a noticable rattle and buzz. Over the course of the night it became more and more intrusive, and rattled loudly at even the lowest volume...The 2nd one sounded great for one night, then the slight rattle started to creep in, and of course, it just got louder and louder. It was useless by the 2nd day. Well that's my experience with this product. While checking out some Bic America subs, I found more reviews of people returning their Polk Audio subs with the exact same problems I encountered. They seemed to be very happy with the Bic America subs. Thanks for reading my review. I hope it was helpful.
Peace,
Tom
Very nice product February 20, 2010
C. Hannaford (Carlton, PA USA)
Very good sound quality and features. Works very well with my Yamaha receiver. The overall bass and sound quality is much better than my 8" Yamaha sub woofer. So far I am really liking this product.
