Customer Review: Polk Subwoofer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that I am sort of a Polk Audio fan. So I did not hesitate to buy this sub-woofer when I wanted to build my home theater system. A friend of mine actually bought this for his system and I got a chance to hear it before buying it. It would hit all the low end notes that were thrown its way.
Pros:
Affordable
Nice Frequency Range
Speaker Hook-Ups
Nice Finish on both Black and Cherry Versions
Auto/on/off switch
Volume and Frequency Cut Off dials.
5 Year Warranty
Cons:
No LFE
Entry Level
Final Thoughts: The sub-woofer does need a break in period as does any speaker. This sub can really add that needed bass for any home system. Polk Audio quality is amazing and the warranty stands behind that statement.
Customer Review: Great bang for your buck!

I spent a lot of money on my Samsung 46A650 LCD, Polk speaker set, and Onkyo SR706 receiver. I didn't really want to drop a whole lot more on a sub but knew I needed one for the low end. Since I had polk speakers I figured this would be a good compliment. I realized that the price was low compared to a lot of other subs but noticed it had good reviews. Well I'm pleased to say that it looks and sounds great. For only a 50watt RMS powered sub it really puts out some low end. I have no complaints. It is quite big though (once again no complaints). It is very box (square) like, so it does take up a little room. It does look very sleek though. So for a little over a [...] bucks this is well worth it. Maybe down the road I'll waste a few hundred on a unnecessarily powerful sub, but for the time I'm very content!!Customer Review: Great sub for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with this sub for the money. I upgraded from a smaller sony sub that was part of a 5.1 speaker set that came with my receiver. The difference is night and day. I purchased this sub for Christmas for $111 and it sounds great. We have a decent sized carpeted living room and it fills it with good bass. Like others said, there is no direct LFE input but you just turn up the level knob all the way and you have an LFE input. I only use the sub for movies and it sounds good. Gun shots and explosions are much louder and would scare me at first because it is a loud clean bass. you can but better subs but they cost alot more money. I almost went with the sony sub that my friend has but am glad I went with this one.
Amazon had the best price in town when I made my purchase.
Customer Review: HipHop listeners preparation
Summary: 5 Stars
Polk Audio PSW10 10-Inch Monitor Series Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black)
Hip Hop listeners typically have calloused ear drums and can no longer discern deep bass from the rattles created by their car body separated welds.
For the ultimate bass listening experience, I would suggest buying a pawn shop bass drum, cut a hole in bottom of drumhead large enough to comfortably insert head (small pillow is comfortable). Then put garage sale subwoofer on other side of drum... remove hearing aids and crank it up to achieve nervana and annoy dogs for several blocks.... Oh Yes... the Polk PSW10 sub is adequate to enhance both music and movies without sticking your head in a bass drum.
Customer Review: Powerful and clean sub-woofer
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, it is hard to get excited about a sub-woofer. Yeah, but, my old old one died and I needed a replacement. My needs are to fill a modest sized room with big booming bass from action movies. I'm not much into music, so my basis of reviewing is how it performs during Blu-Ray movie playback.
Too much bass is not a good thing. Being able to set the cross-over with my main sound system is important. I have found tweeking the sub-woofer higher in the cross-over range helps my overall sound quality. Keeping the volume relatively low keeps the overall sound clean.
Bottom line, I am very happy with the size, shape, color, look, sound and performance of this new sub-woofer. I do recommend it. (Although the termites in the floor are probably now probably deaf.)
