 Great Value July 13, 2008
I have been in the market for a subwoofer for quite a while, and after reviewing and following the prices, this was the best value. The sound so far has been outstanding and it fit in well with the rest of my Polk surround sound speakers in our media room.
 Not a sub for us audiophiles, but good for $100 July 9, 2008
I bought this on sale at amazon for 108 bucks. I would NOT have bought it if I had not used a 100 dollar gift certificate I received for Christmas. This subwoofer does improve my sound system by a noticeable margin.
I have two Klipsh tower speakers and two yamaha bookshelves in the back. The four together put out loads of bass that fills my apartment. This subwoofer however does increase the low range. If you have big towers like I do, use the high cut for sure, as it clarifies and adds crispness to the bass.
Right away when I got it, I cranked it up and noticed an internal rattling of some sort. Because of this, I would not recommend buying this again, as I fear either the voice coil is of low quality or the cabinet was not well crafted. For the average rock listener and movie watcher, this will fill a small to medium room with the lows you like to experience in a theater. Don't expect this to make a brotha bounce to songs with mega bass.
Great powered sub for a smaller space June 23, 2008
This powered subwoofer will definitely rock your world in a small den or viewing room, especially if your amp has LFE capability. Setup is straightforward, and the instructions are quite clear.
 A little boomy and 10 minute hum after shutting off, but great for the money! June 21, 2008
If you turn the volume up on this where you can really tell it's there, it gets boomy while watching things with background music, such as sportscenter. Truth be told, I have the bass volume set a little high due to gaming.
Also, with a $20 Subwoofer Cable, it has the "hum" that people complain about. The situation is this, when my receiver is on standby and the sub has no signal, it emits a low humming noise. I have it on the "Auto" power setting, and the hum shuts off within 10 minutes.
This sub hits hard, and if it had above half volume you can hear it outside my house. IMO, no one needs any more than this for TV-watching.
Great sub June 13, 2008
I like Polk and have other Polk products that have been very good over the last 10 years. A friend of mine has experienced very good honouring of the warranty (in NZ!). Their customer service is good.
I bought PSW10 off Amazon (April 08) whilst holidaying in the States; then returned to India with it as baggage. I was half expecting something to go wrong: like broken in transit/seized by the govt/blow up on arrival. Nothing bad happened.
But I found it was 110V and therefore not compatible with India. Luckily India is good with electrical devices like stabilisers and transformers so one of these costs next to nothing and will be good in my home country (NZ) as well. So anyway, the sub is good. I connected it using Monster Cable y-connector and am very impressed with its performance. You can adjust the bassiness from a dial on the subwoofer. Pretty simple to connect. It would be good if full product technical descriptions were mandatory on Amazon though.
It will be intereting to see how it performs on carpeted/wooden floorboards back in New Zealand. All the floors in India are marble so sound is reflected quite nicely. There is a crispness.
This subwoofer complements my other Polks nicely.
I would recommend this product to you because it does the job nicely, for an excellent price.
