GREAT PSW

Posted by: from FL on 02/29/2012Great Powered Sub Woofer. Saw some complaints about the sound becoming distorted and booming. Make sure you adjust the volume on the back of the sub woofer and have the correct settings in the receiver for this woofer. Any woofer will get boomy and distorted if not adjusted properly. It is a 10" woofer, not a 12" or 14 "!!!! I have it in a 20 X 20 bedroom with XBOX 360 and it kicks @$$!

Better Deal
5
Posted by: from Hayward, CA on 02/28/2012Bought this item and couldn't be happier as far as price and quality. It was on sale for $99 and the look of it was nice. Plug it in with my receiver and it was loud enough that makes everything vibrates up to my bedroom window.

great sub but not good enough for me
3
Posted by: from Philadelphia on 02/27/2012The Polk PSW10 sounds great at lower volumes but distorted easily if I turned my receivers volume pass the half way point. The bass was boomy and not as tight as I hoped it would be. It would probably be better in a smaller room that doesn't require much volume.

Great sound and price

Posted by: from Greenville, N.C. on 02/27/2012Great sound in a good looking cabinet. Sound is awesome for the price, very clear and crisp, not muddy like cheap ones. Simple hook up.

Great sub for the price
5
Posted by: from asheville, nc on 02/15/2012Got this on sale for 99.00 to replace my old one that died. I use it primarily for tv surround sound and have been very pleased so far. While it wont rattle the walls, its a great unit for the price and i highly recommend!

Don't waste your money
2
Posted by: from Katy, TX on 02/01/2012Bought this hoping to find a low price deal for a budget system and ended up returning it to the store the next day. Besides the fact that the $200 price tag turned out to be $100 more than a nearby competitor AND lots of places online, the sound was just bad. Barely audible at low volumes and at higher volumes all I could hear was port turbulence (the sound of the air coming out of the port). It literally drowned out the bass. Brought it back and replaced it with a Pioneer SW601 (from a competitor) which blows the Polk out of the water without breaking a sweat. Unless you are desparate for a sub, pass on this one. And Best Buy - Either pull this from the shelf or get competitive with the pricing. $199 is ridiculous when almost everywhere else has it for $99.

Solid Performance-Reasonable Price Point
5
Posted by: from Providence, RI on 02/01/2012Plenty of power to shake my room. The speaker appears to be well made and sound quality is good. If you are looking to add some thump to your sound system at a great price give this product a try. I think you will love it as much as I do. Do yourself a favor and place it in a corner facing the wall about 1 foot away. Boom!

Great Value
5
Posted by: from Orlando, FL on 01/26/2012I do not have a high end surround sound system, but this subwoofer provides excellent bass for the money, and is a huge improvement over a Sony subwoofer than came with a prepacked system about 10 years ago.

Good sub, better available
4
Posted by: from Richmond, VA on 01/23/2012This is a good sub but a little challenging to hook up with no LFE input. The PSW110 is twice as powerful and was only $25 more, which is why I returned the PSW10.

Great Thump
5
Posted by: from Marysville, WA on 01/15/2012This subwoofer really does the job! While it is a low priced choice, it will shake the house as you get immersed in sound of the movie or music.

Good sub for a small to medium size living room
5
Posted by: from TEXAS on 01/10/2012Bought this on black friday sale and am I glad I got it. For the money its a excellent sub. I started playing HALO ANNIVERY EDITION on my 55 in. TV and all the bullets and explosions really popped out with this sub. I felt like all the action was going on in my living room. The Bass in Music really stood out and added that perfect ooomph that I wanted. I am really happy with this purchase. I would definitely recommend it.

Great little box.
5
Posted by: from illinois on 01/09/2012picked up a 7.2 surround sound after moving in to a new place. I got this sub with one of BB proven packages. My system calls for two subs but I settled for just one. This thing makes you feel like your in the theater. I haven't been out to the movies since. I picked up a second sub and not sure if my windows will be able to handle it. Overall this product for the price is awesome.

Unbeatable for the money spent on it.
5
Posted by: from Colorado on 01/08/2012I bought this sub on the Black Friday sale to replace an existing KLH Audio sub that I have had for years now. I have Infinity Primus 360 Main Speakers, an Infinity Primus PC251 Center Channel and the KLH Surrounds for the side and rear surrrounds of the 7.1 system. I am powering those with a Sony STR-DG910 receiver I bought on a closeout when Circuit City closed up. With this sub I have deeper and fuller bass sound than I previously had. It looks somewhat like the Infinity speakers with the black cloth face on and is a great deal at under one hundred dollars. I can also add to it with the KLH sub in the rear of the room.

Poor bass quality
2
Posted by: from Washington on 01/07/2012After seeing this subwoofer on sale I immediately bought it expecting a decent quality of bass. Once installed, I immediately returned it after 3 hour of tinkering with my receiver settings. The bottom line was that any tv shows that had any subtle bass sounded really bad and was unacceptable.
