Polk's PSW10 powered subwoofer is designed to match with their Monitor Series speakers. The compact enclosure is made from non-resonant MDF with 0.75" internal baffling and bracing for rock solid performance with superlative detail and accuracy.

The voice coil of the 10" driver is perfectly centered in its magnetic field for deep bass with no distortion. The built in amplifier has a 50W continuous output with 100W of peak power. An overall 35Hz to 200Hz frequency response is attenuated by an adjustable 80Hz to 160Hz crossover so you can tune the output to match the rest of your speakers.

The back panel has both line level and speaker level inputs so you can use the PSW10 with virtually any amplifier. There is also a phase switch for additional fine tuning of the sound. The "auto" selection on the power switch lets the subwoofer turn itself off after 15 minutes of no signal and turn itself back an almost instantaneously, leaving you free to enjoy the music and not worry about turning things on and off.

Packs Some Surprises

Reviewed By: Greg DeMeritt on 10/30/2008

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: For a relatively scant 50 watts this thing proves power isn't everything. It may not set off the car alarms, but it certainly add the kind of bass that really enhances surround sound without being too in-your-face. Great sound quality that blends well with Polk speakers' Dynamic Balance.

Cons: I've never really seen what it can do, but it did seem fall behind from my system when I pushed everything a little overboard. This is where the Wattage might become a problem. I have a well focused (100 hz roughly and higher) 85 Watts X 5. You'd probably need more power from a sub if you were pushing 120 watts per channel.

Other Thoughts: At $150 bucks you won't be disappointed. Polk really doesn't make a lousy product even at these prices.

Pros: this sub sounds considerably better than I expected. Clean and tight. The auto setup on my Pioneer said my subwoofer was too loud - Is that even possible lol.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Can't be beat for the Newegg price.

Just what I needed

Reviewed By: AndyN on 11/25/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I added this sub to augment the speakers in the plasma panel my son uses for his WII. It is perfect. I've heard bad 10-inch subs and nice ones - this one is even nicer. The bass content in his games has come alive. This is actually my first Polk product and now they are squarely on my "i-like-em" supplier list.

Cons: Doesn't quite match the performance of my 'vintage' 15" Def Tech sub ... but HEY it is 1/8th of the cost !! Really, this sub is a deal.

It rattles

Reviewed By: on 11/17/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: cheap.

Cons: Similar to the other user review,
When watching movies with some LFE it rattles.
It seems the rattling sound is coming from the air duct.
Never keep it above 50% volume.
Not sure if it is defective or it just can't handle the LFE properly.

Thought it would be nice

Reviewed By: on 11/5/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Nice and loud. Able to provide plenty of base to fill any household.

Cons: Developed a raddle within the box. At first I thought it was the front plastic plat but after further examination found it had to be something internal. Now every time there is a moment of a song or movie with high base all I hear is the raddle. I have to say this was a huge disappointment. I'll be contacting Newegg and Polk, hopefully I can get some sort of resolution.

Other Thoughts: I see others have had good experiences with these but I must have gotten the "bad egg".
