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.

 Love the sound of the Polk Subwoofer March 15, 2010
Philip Logiudice (Guilford, CT)
I never realized what a difference a subwoofer would make! A salesman at Bose recommended I add one to my system. He said that it would really enhance the sound from movies and it did just that. But it also added a lot to all the music I play. Bose doesn't make subwoofers so I searched Amazon and based on everyone's comments chose this one. I am very pleased. I realalize I could have spent hundreds of dollars more and am very satisfied.
 Good but not great... March 15, 2010
J. C. DeNova
Ok. First of all I have to let you know that I purchased 2 of these for my Man-Cave. Together they sound really good. Alone, I don't think it would be strong enough for my taste.
Pro's: Built solid. Looks good. Sounds good for less than $100.
Con's: Can only have the "gain" up to 50%, any higher and it sounds distorted. The grill on one of my subs rattles when the base hits real hard... but the other sounds fine. If you take off the grill it goes away. But the biggest thing is that you can't turn the "gain" up past 50% or so because you will hear a lot of distortion.
Watched Terminator Salvation last night. Sounded really good, nice bass... but I also have 2 of these.
Would have gone with a Polk 12" like the 505... i think that's what my brother has. Thats hits real good and sounds real nice.
All in all.... I am happy with them, but I wish they were able to do what is expected of them.
 Polk Audio PSW-10 March 14, 2010
A. Roberts (Houston, TX USA)
The performance and sound are very impressive, the only dislike is I would like to have had an on/off switch for times when I don't want the bass. I can work around the problem. A very good buy for the price.

John Beise (mora.MN)

"Man Cave" Boom March 12, 2010
Bennie Koon
I have looked online at a lot of subwoofers. My "Man Cave" is 18.5' by 15'. This Polk Audio PSW10 10" sub is perfect for this room. I do not have expensive audio analysis equipment to measure the quality of my audio equipment. I have my 2 ears and this Polk Audio PSW10 sub along with my Denon AVR-1910 and my 7.1 Klipsch Synergy Quintet III surround sound speakers sound real good. The sub will rattle the windows in the adjacent room. I have read a lot of reviews about surround sound speaker systems that sound good with movies but not so good with music from CDs or other audio sources. This sub and my other speakers sound great with audio as well as movies. If you are looking for a good sub to use in a "Man Cave" simular to mine I highly recommend the Polk Audio PSW10.
