AMAZING SUBWOOFER! by Michele A. Johnson on amazon.com Jun 21, 2012
I bought this subwoofer to go along with my Boston bookshelf speakers and my Polk Audio center channel speaker. I have it hooked up to my Pioneer receiver and I have to say it is an amazing subwoofer!!! I use it everyday listening to Hiphop/rap, playing ...
 
Best Purchase Ever! by N/A on newegg.com Jun 11, 2012
This was my first purchase out away from the theater in a box set. I went to best buy and listened to several different brands and polk stood out immediately. With the settings at half you can feel the effects in every movie or sporting event. Even ...
 
Strong performer for the price by Egghead on bestbuy.com Dec 10, 2008
I opted out of the instant gratification factor and ordered the faux cherry cabinet vs. taking a black one off the shelf. Good choice. While they're both vinyl-covered particle board, the cherry looks less fake. Unlike most reviews, I got this for an ...

I went to BestBuy to really buy the Sony for $99.00 that I read so many good reviews about. I was able to audition several suboofers incuding the $474.00 Klipsch, $299.00 Polk 8" subwoofer and a couple others. The only sub that outperformed the PSW10 ...

It makes me feel nauseous by giantjoebot on newegg.com Apr 19, 2012
I tried to pair it with 3 different sets of book self speakers, and used 3 different amps. I messed with the settings for hours, and tried different placements. Finally I tried my Sony SA-W3000 that I had in the living room. The Sony had way more clarity. ...
 
Left Me Wanting More by John Ferguson on amazon.com Mar 6, 2012
Let me start by saying this sub is not horrible, it just did not have the "punch in the chest" I desired. I gave the PSW10 a fair three days to kind of break it in with hopes of more depth and when it never came, I packed it up and off it went. I was ...
 
"Over rated" by Haylee223 on cnet.com Dec 27, 2010
You get what you pay for, in this case a $100 sub. Save your money and spend it wisely on something like a HSU or SWS. Otherwise you will just end up diapointed and spend the money later anyway. If this is what you can afford, you will have to settle ...

If you push it too much it fails to deliver. by Jay on newegg.com Mar 22, 2012
This is only good if you want to add a little bass to your tunes or movies. If you push it very far it doesn't sound good and the port chuffing is really bad. If you want something that will really thump and not bottom out or distort, this isn't the sub ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Polk Audio Monitor Series PSW10 10-Inch Powered Subwoofer...
When playing the 1812 Overature, the cannons were well produced, if very slightly muddied (as it is one of the few songs that ventures below 50hz) but overall very good...Overall, this subwoofer is probably the best entry subwoofer you can get bar none...Considering the market it's aiming for, this shouldn't be too big of a problem for most people, but owners with good receivers might be a bit vexed by this...

Polk Audio PSW10 Review - Subwoofers - CNET Reviews
The bottom line is that if you are looking for a Sub that will shake your house, this is not it...I would highly recommend this unit even if it was priced in the $250 range...It is only after hearing a good sub that you will notice the true difference in how much of a punch, low frequency and detail you will be missing...
