I just added this to my Onkyo HTIB system and it's made all the difference in the world. I'm a bit of an audiophile (on a reasonable budget), with four subwoofers scattered throughout the rooms in my house and one 10" Polk in my truck. I'm most satisfied with the Polk subwoofers for their tightness and ability to pound low frequencies without turning the sound into a boomy mess. I listen to a lot of music with double-bass drumming and thought that this PSW12 would have a tough time keeping up with the quickness of the 10" sub I like so much. Not the case. What I get is very quick bass with that ground-shaking impact that I always look for.

I'm still going easy on 'er for the break-in period, but I can say that the trailer for Kingdom of Heaven (included on the Blu-Ray disc) sounds absolutely stunning. Paired with my 57" Sony HDTV, trips to the movie theater are few and far between these days. Now is a great time to pick up one of these, since the price seems to have recently dropped by about $50 throughout the web.

Unbeatable sub for the money!!

I am new to the audiophile world. On a low scale budget though. I purchased this subwoofer a few days ago and haven't went wrong. It's amazing sound and ability to bring real world vibrations makes you wonder whether the sound is coming from the woofer or outside. I played a rap cd just to test it and I swore the neighbors could hear it. After that I played a couple movies. I was in shock. The ability to take advantage of low and big vibrations makes the movies come to life. This has simply put my system in competition with a movie theatre. I think I will charge friends to see movies at my house.

I purchased this subwoofer not in order to get powerful bass for rock music but for classical listening. I already had a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 50s that I really enjoy, but without the sub, the low bass--for example, of the piano--was cloudy. This sub provides excellent bass clarity and warmth for classical music. Even the treble and midrange sounds better against the foundation that the sub provides. In a modestly sized living room with hardwood floors, this speaker combination is just right. If you are placing your sub close to a television set or computer, buy the SW12 instead of the 10, because the 12 has magnetic shielding that the 10 lacks. My TEAC Reference Series tuner does not have a sub out, but that was no problem. The sub comes with a diagram (use option 2) for wiring the sub to the amp and the L/R speakers through the sub. It uses a little more speaker wire, but it allows those without a sub out the option of adding the sub. I am very pleased with the results. For the price, it is hard for me to imagine a better solution. Certainly, once I had the 50s, the sub was a great $100 investment that made a sonic impact well beyond the price paid.

Excellent sub. Plenty of power and distortion doesn't seem to be a problem for this thing. It hits the low end very well. Very clean sound. Easy to hook up. Well made, if rather large. I didn't think it would be as big is it is. Looks nice. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Needed a big sound, but didn't have a lot of space. The Polk PSW10 did the job with flying colors. This thing is a heck of a deal. Definitely the best powered sub I've used for under $100.

If you're in a small space, this should meet your needs. I am maybe a 12x12 room and it provides more than enough power for me. I have not used it outside of this space, but think you could go maybe 50% more. For anything larger, I'm not sure. Depends on how loud you want to go, I guess.

This is a good entry-level sub.

A 10"in speaker that has gained my respect. Highly recommended. This baby packs quite a wallop at high or low volumes. With a trained ear and some tweaking, anyone can appreciate this near set it and forget it subwoofer.

However, for the single subwoofer coaxial output on your receiver, you're going to need an RCA single female input to double male Left/Right channel output connector in order to connect this unit properly. I think they (POLK) should include this with the product.

If you own at least a midrange receiver of a clean 110 watt output or more, this solidly built Polk Powered subwoofer can take some serious punishment and is a perfect addition to any system.

I push a shared 300 watts through this subwoofer with a Yamaha natural sound receiver. Along with a main pair of Cerwin Vega CLS-12's, a pair of Cerwin Vega bookshelf speakers and center channel as they all combine harmoniously in the joy of blissful home theater Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. The additional subwoofer completes the audiophile pile thus making the living room walls, picture frames and furniture vibrate and shake while watching a good Blueray movie.

Bottom line: Rock Solid, tight and precise lows and low/mids and it really seems to hold it's own in the end. Well worth the research, reviews and purchase. I've had it about a month now and I like surprising guests when a big boom happens in a movie. It makes us all jump and go wide eyed when it's first felt, then heard! >;-]
