“I recently purchased the PSW 108 and noticed that the Hz level on the back of sub said 80hz to 160hz when the description said 35hz to 200hz. Just wondering if there is a problem.”

You're confusing two separate concepts, Frequency Response (35 - 200Hz) and the subwoofer's Low-Pass Crossover Frequency (80 - 160Hz). The speaker has been tested to reproduce sounds from 35 - 200Hz whereas the crossover controls which frequencies you're asking the subwoofer to handle vs. those you'd prefer your main speakers to handle. There are lots of great articles on how to adjust your Low-Pass filter, or often called LFE, on your subs but in general, if you set the low-pass filter crossover to 120Hz, for example, then the sub will handle ALL frequencies below 120 Hz. If something in the 35 Hz range comes in, the subwoofer will attempt to reproduce that and according to specifications, should be able to -- although your ears may not hear something that low, that borders on the human hearing range for older adults, ha!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That dial is the crossover frequency for the low-pass filter. Changing that sets the top frequency the subwoofer plays. Use this in conjunction with your receiver's high-class filter to take the strain of low frequencies off the receiver and speakers and let the sub do what it does best.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That is the cutoff level, I believe. That just determines where the low pass cutoff is for frequencies the sub will play (e.g. If you set it to 100Hz it will not play any frequencies abobe that point, but will retain everything else below)
